Maybe a more accurate situation would be a runner on 1st and 3rd in that 1 run ballgame. And maybe we're not in the 9th -- we're in the 8th.
Now a single doesn't win it...but really, a homer doesn't either. But man, it would be really nice to have the lead, so you're not looking for a single, but you're looking for that double that drives in 2.
in either event, you really don't wanna strike out. So maybe the HR swing isn't strictly necessary because the HR isn't necessary OR dispositive in its own right.

I totally understand what you're saying, but I really have no problem with this team having three starting caliber tackles. Last year we barely had even one, and you saw the end result. I'm in agreement with you that I wouldn't have made the pick, but I do get what they were thinking. They simply can't let Mahomes get destroyed anymore. They have to go above and beyond to make sure it doesn't happen.
What happens with the next three picks will also go a long way in making this pick more palatable. If they land a RB, WR and DL who are day one contributors today (which is entirely possible) I'll be pretty happy with how everything turned out.
Only time will tell, all we can do is watch now.
