Priebus harnessed recalcitrant Republicans to support Trump, dedicated a lot of RNC resources to his election, and is an effective manager (though not as effective as Kellyanne Conway, IMO.)
And hes a friend of Ryans, so he might be able to help with Congressional relations. (But they already have Pence for that.)
Unfortunately, as Chief of Staff, hell probably bring in a lot of Establishemnt Republicans who dont share or even see Trumps vision, and as Morton Blackwell reminds us, personnel is policy.
Trump has good instincts.
I will trust his judgement more than yours with all due respect.
And for heavens sake, he is an advisor, not a cabinet choice, if this report is true.
