Looking back, if the Chiefs were so dead set on Cassel, and they really wanted to upgrade the D-Line, why not take this approach:
Raji/Jackson
Cassel
Magee
Luigs
Meredith
And they still had 3 picks to spend on their pet projects in the late rounds.
Sometimes, I think sports franchises get so preoccupied with deking other franchises that they do the most illogical thing rather than just making sensible moves.

This.
This team would be better on the O-Line if the Chiefs had done this.
The draft was a major head scratcher.
