Or should they have read their tarot cards and known that?

It was a baaaaaad pick from the second they wrote his name on the draft card and handed it to Roger.

So what tackle should they have taken instead?

The odd thing is that there were few tackles taken anywhere near that spot in the draft.  The tacks took Isaiah Wilson at 29.  But that was a good pick because it wasn't a RB, right?  The Chiefs picked CEH at 32.  Then there were two OL taken the entire 2nd round:  Robert Hunt taken at 39th overall-seven (7) picks later, and then the Vikings took Ezra Cleveland 58th overall.

The interesting thing there is both Robert Hunt and Ezra Cleveland have both been moved inside to G.

So even if the Chiefs drafted either Cleveland or Hunt at 32, it likely would not have solved their T issue for the Super Bowl if the two starters got hurt like they did.  Even if the Chiefs drafted either Cleveland or Hunt at 32, they still likely would have made the trade for Orlando Brown.

The draft is held in April.  The regular season does not begin until September.  If you are not drafting for the next year, for when are you drafting?!?
