Who should we draft 1st?
 

who should it be?

1a. Jimmy Clausen
1b. Eric Berry

Berry! god ****ing dammit!!! Make it a ****in poll

/thread

it is a fucking poll

I think we are going to get one of the 3. So no "other" option needed

with so much invested in Cassel, I seriously don't see us drafting a QB in the 1st. Maybe the 2011 draft if Cassel sucks again. But not this year. Although, it's still somewhat possible.

What???? This many people really here want a safety over a potential franchise QB? Good gosh, I might have to go sign up for WPI.

I'm going to say the OT from Iowa, Bullaga, must mostly just because it will make Mecca's head explode.

Add Pat Angerer in the 3-4th just to seal the deal.

I'd be pleased with Berry, Clausen or to a lesser extent Dan Williams. In the end I went with Berry because of my man crush and I like 2 or 3 QBs in next years class a little more than Clausen.

Now this is fresh!

Im torn on this one. I like Berry because I like DB's more than any other position, and I like what he can bring to the D. Also, he'll have an immediate impact on the field.

BUT

Clausen will have more of an impact NEXT season and will be much more valuable if he pans out. I know in order to win in the playoffs we need a franchise QB. We just have to suffer through a season in which our 1st rnder sits on the bench.

The key word is "potential". Too many high-level misses in NFL history. Rick Mirer, Heath Shuler, Ryan Leaf... and, of course, Todd Blackledge and the infamous "Class of 93", which has probably scarred so many Chiefs fans they want nothing to do with a high 1st-round QB. Clausen is not a "gimme". It would be different if he had "Peyton Manning" written all over him.

(It's a moot point anyway. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Pioli and Haley DO NOT undermine Cassel by picking a 1st-round QB. They might grab a mid-level QB in the middle rounds, but they're not using a high pick on one.)

I went with Berry even though it is said that at the five spot a safety is wasting the value of the pick. I tend to think with the current rules favoring the passing game the way the rules do it makes a safety a little more valuable. I would be fine with Clausen as the pick but I think the FO will give Cassel this year to prove it and if he fails they will go QB.

Even Peyton Manning wasn’t the consensus #1 pick that year. They are all “potential” franchise QB’s taken that high when taken and nothing is ever a sure thing. You have to pull the trigger though and even if Clausen bust you still made the right pick. Keep pulling the trigger in round 1 until you get your guy.
