I was worried too until I saw how the Chiefs were going to use him. What a waste...LMAO

In that 2008 draft the Chiefs were basically one pick away from being able to draft Matt Ryan.

He went third to Atlanta and although the Raiders drafted 4th, since they had just drafted JaMarcus Russell the year before they would have passed on Ryan, leaving him available for the Chiefs to draft at 5th overall.

While I'm soundly in the "we need to draft a QB/we have to draft a QB" camp I wonder if any young QB could have survived here from 2006 on? Between the coaching staffs and the offensive lines, I'm not sure we wouldn't have doomed them all from the start. Which isn't to say we shouldn't have drafted any, but I wonder if the Joe Flacco in Baltimore would be the same player had he been here? What about Matt Ryan or Matt Stafford? I don't think Mark Sanchez could have been much worse than he was in New York, but maybe he would have been.

Then again, maybe if the organization had been evolved enough to draft a quarterback, then maybe they would have been more adept at building the roster at other spots, too.

Bad selection, period.

Bad selection? Sure, in hindsight.

At the time, he was a no-brainer.

Speaking of hindsight, I'd definitely take Flacco if I could do it over.

Sometimes hindsight is 50/50...

The worst part is that iirc we were in a 3 way tie with Atlanta and Oakland for the 3 spot and lost the coin flip.

Who am I kidding...we would have probably taken a linemen anyway.

I guess the Chiefs at the time had a lot of faith in Brodie Croyle?

How do you go into a season with Damon Huard and Croyle, coming off a 4 win season and not look to draft a QB?

**** hindsight. The NFL is a get if right business and they got it wrong.

Dorsey was supposed to be what Mccoy in TB is.

Chiefs don't believe QBs is what makes a team. It's the FB position.

Should the Chiefs have drafted Aaron Rodgers over Derrick Johnson?

Should the CHiefs have traded up to snag Matt Ryan?
