And those aren’t positions of dire need that we can fill later in the draft The elite DTs are probably gone by 31. The chiefs have positioned themselves to take BPA. But I think that the bpa with a small trade up could be a LT. I don’t think that’s desperate at all. And all picks at our range are a chance. Remember Robert gallery? He ended being a pretty good guard. All these picks are a chance and a bulk of them never make it. Look at FAU. You have to take some chances to eventually get a long term left tackle when you are picking late every year. Do you want the chiefs to rely on free agency for premium positions forever? If not, you’re going to have to take some chances.

You're missing the point.
NFL left tackles very, VERY rarely drop to the mid-twenties. Almost never. Those guys that DO almost always end up playing RIGHT tackle or guard.
So what do I want to do about Left Tackle?
Keep taking occasional swings on guys with the right traits and maybe you get lucky. Bahktiaris happen every once in a blue moon. But don't reach for one, certainly don't give up multiple high picks to try to get one that more than likely will end up a guard.
If Conerly falls to 31 and they like him, I will understand the pick. If they take an Ersery or a Grant in the second or third, I'll understand that too.
If they figure they have two developmental tackles as it is and stand pat there to get better elsewhere, I'll understand that.
