Drafting a QB in round one and missing was much worse, historically. With the new CBA and the lower salaries, that may even things out a bit. Still, taking first and second round fliers on guys you don't think are the guy just to say you tried is always going to be a really stupid idea. SNR seems genetically incapable of wrapping his brain around that.

So for 30 years the Chiefs haven't felt that any quarterback in the first round was "the guy"? How much success have the Chiefs had with their pattened Retread Quarterback Approach have they had, again?

i think its because it looks like they are from 1983 and not the year 2013.

It's not just us. How many of the league's top QBs are guys who should've been taken earlier but slipped for various reasons, usually height or level of competition. The league is always slow to change, philosophically. And this weekend may have been the most conservative draft I've ever seen. It was painful to watch.

The good thing about Chiefs fans is that after they are done cheering for a terrible franchise they can be extra's for Alabama's next great work Anthiem for people who have been layed off for years.

I think someone should have been there throwing feces at the camera like a monkey

The position is just that important these days. I agree to some extent... you don't take someone if you really, truly believe they won't be successful in the NFL or in your system... you don't try for the sake of trying. And maybe this was the one year the Chiefs are right in just making the safe move and picking up a retread and undrafted QB... maybe this regime actually has it right and has a plan, blah blah... but, they couldn't even make a stretch at #63 or #96 or #99, etc.

The QB class sucked as prospects. This was being said for months. The GMs around the league clearly believed that, because QBs went very late in this draft, not early. Hell, when a team did pick a QB (Manuel), this board mocked them for taking the player.

If it's all about just trying to get the QB, the Jets would be rolling in Super Bowls. They haven't won shit since Namath, but they've drafted Todd, O'Brien, Pennington, Sanchez and Hobart (supplemental, never played for them) in the first round, along with Clemens, Nagle and Woodall in the second. For all the crying around here about not taking QBs in the first, KC has won a Super Bowl more recently than that dumpster fire of a team.

QB is important. Hell, it's critical. But pissing away picks on players you don't believe in is just bad management.
