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?!?

I didn't say they should take a tackle, I said they shouldn't have taken CEH. Big difference. They could have gone a ton of different directions.

You are drafting for the next half decade or more when you select first rounders, well any pick really but especially the earlier you get in the draft. There needs to be a blend of need and value, and RB is never going to add enough value to enter the equation in the first round.

Seemingly everyone else in the thread, including OLine, who agrees with you philosophically, seemingly thinks you were referring to T.

So why else would the Chiefs regret the CEH pick now?

They went back to the Super Bowl after they took him.  Is going back to the Super Bowl a basis for regret?  What else happened between them taking CEH in the first round and now to make them regret the pick?

He's still healthy.  There's nothing currently stopping him from playing another 4-5 years, meeting your half decade standard.

Why are they kicking themselves for that pick?
