My argument isn't opposing the idea that taking an OT #1 is unheard of, or unwise. My argument is that will never happen with this draft class.
The year the Chiefs took Fischer was, maybe, the worst draft class for QB's ever. EJ Mannuel was the first QB off the board, and he went #16. And he was absolutely terrible. The next QB off the board, Geno Smith, lasted all the way until #39. He was also terrible. After that, Mike Glennon at #73, Matt Barkley at #98. The whole lot of them were/are bums.
Barring an absolutely disaster of a season, which probably isn't even possible because they won't play, you'll see a QB desperate team pounce on one of those two QB's. And it's 99% going to be Lawrence.
If we had that pick it would be idiotic to sit on it to take a LT. We just drafted a LT in the top 10. You don't, at #1 or #10, draft a guy to move him to RT.
The smart play would be to move the pick. Someone would pony up an absolute shit ton for the ability to take Lawrence.
Really, this all moot anyway. The chances of us having the #1 pick again are very, very slim.
