So long as it's a long-term starter, that's what matters. I'm speaking of career role player, I figured you'd understand that.

I think if you're looking at spots where you 'need' a starter, I'd look at LG (which could be covered by drafting a potential LT), Will 'backer (I'd love to see us layer Tranquil somehow), RB and FS (We don't really utilize FS/SS designations but this roster still doesn't have a coverage safety, IMO). And obviously DT.
I don't think any of those positions except maybe DT are in such a dire spot that you'd forego a possible long-term upgrade at a position of higher importance in order to get a starter at one of those NOW.
And the only one of those to come close is DT where
the Chiefs clearly don't think it's that important and never have.
If we make a 'need' pick, it almost has to be DT. I just don't think the Chiefs see DT as a real need even if I do. Beyond that, every position we'd be looking at either has a starter that we'd like to upgrade on (2nd day works great for those guys) and/or is a position of lesser importance.
