1. Invest a 1st round pick at Tackle
2. Pony up and reset the Tackle market with a top Tackle like Trent
Either of these would have been perfectly F'ing appropriate. I just wish it didn't take so long.

The point from which you’re arguing is disingenuous.
They did try to make Trent Williams the highest paid tackle. They didn’t choose Kelce over him. San Fran just hit the bid button once it got to “desperate” mode and KC did.
That was a serious attempt. So was trading a first for Orlando Brown and trying to lock him up long-term to the top contract at the position.
Spending top 3 round picks isn’t half-assed or dumpster diving. It’s just a different type of gamble.
Trent Williams has literally been the only top tackle other than Orlando Brown and Jawaan Taylor to hit the market. Those are the three best Ts, and the Chiefs have tried with all three.
Acting like the Chiefs haven’t been serious about replacing Eric Fisher is just silly.
