That's not an excuse.
If you're an owner who wants to try getting a flashy young QB to build a dynasty, and you also want to bring him along with a pretty good coach and solid team behind him, you have to start taking chances on those QBs like Aaron Rodgers who fall to you.
You're not going to get back into the top 5 if you're obsessed with the veteran QB with the supportive defense.
"Most teams passed" is not an excuse. These are first round prospects on everybody's draft boards that are falling to us and we're content to draft shitty ****s instead. "Everybody else passed" is not an excuse for the Chiefs to not draft Aaron Rodgers. It's not an excuse for the Chiefs to not draft Teddy Bridgewater. Not when you're built the way we are and the way Clark envisioned when he sought to win immediately after 2-14 so he could get back his money through more butts in the seats.
What that tells me is drafting a really good QB prospect actually ISN'T that important to an owner.
