I think the Chiefs were in a unique position with offseason O-line acquisitions - They had Kyle Long (who got injured over the summer). They had "Larry" Laurent Duvarnay-Tardif, "the Canadian Doctor," who took off the Covid year but was planning to return. And They had acquired Joe Thuney. All three of these guys looked like solid starting guards, so KC was able to take a chance on a guy who looked great but who may not really have career because of medical issues. You could argue that they had acquired enough talent during the off-season that taking a guard was irresponsible. But so far it seems to be working out really well. If the Chiefs can shore up their D, they will have a good season. And there's reason to believe that will happen - Spag's defenses have taken time to gel in the past, and the Chiefs started the season with several injuries which are slowly trickling back into the line-up.
