What will the Chiefs likely do?

Tough one. Scourton really is a non-factor for me in this. Honestly, I like JT Tuimoloau a lot more than Scourton.
Nolen vs Conerly would be my dilemma. Absolutely no character flags, Nolen is a top-10, if not top-5, player. I still think he's going top-15 but that's not the question.
On one hand, if Conerly develops his anchor quickly, you probably have a true franchise LT for the next decade. If not, you might look like a fool passing on Nolen, who I fully expect to be a game-wrecker. That said, if Nolen's character flaws are real, you could look just as much the fool for drafting him if those surface as a pro.
I also keep an eye on the future component. Next year's tackle class looks like it could be worse, and I don't have a solid feeling on whether or not Moore will work out.
This year's DT class is deep into the 4th round and I'd be confident to get at least a really good player or two. We also need a NT more than a 3T right now.
Armed with that, I'd have to go with Conerly.
