As stupid as this sounds to some, but I honestly think it would be a wise choice, if they could find a trading partner, trade that #1 overall pick. the amount of value you could get in return is insurmountable. Mind you, I say this because I feel Carl and Herm will be back another year.
Seriously whats the point of drafting a QB? You have a coach who has a history of getting his QB's hurt because he can't run a real offense, and his teams always have piss poor pass protection. Never a good combination especially for a young QB.
If you can get multiple picks in return in the process by trading down, why not? You really think drafting a QB is going to be the saviour of this team?
I don't know about you guys, but Im thinking overall team. The whole team sucks and could use help anywhere possible. You trade down you could even get a 1st rounder next year, and possibly 2 2nds, and 3rds for this year and next. this team is not gonna get better just by drafting a QB. They could use picks everywhere, and help at multiple positions. That's how you rebuild. I like what they did last year by getting extra picks, and I honestly wouldn't mind if that happened again.
Of course having Herm and Carl here don't help the young players. But hey at least if they stick around for possibly another year, and this organization gets as many young guys as possible, and after Carl and Herm are gone(when there contracts run out) Im holding my breath Clark isn't dumb enough to give them contract extensions, those young players will have a real GM and head coach here to help their game.

Keep in mind that any drafted QB is likely to take at least 2-3 years before making any real positive impact. The long the Chiefs wait to find their QBOTF, the later the development of that QB is pushed. We have an extraordinarily young team, and need to be developing a QB while also developing those other young players. What good is a young team coming to maturity when there's no QB to lead that team?
I agree with your concerns about Carl/Herm, but even if they are back next year, that's almost assuredly the last year of that regime. Hopefully, a drafted QB would sit most/all of the year on the bench behind a FA pickup, limiting the exposure behind a shoddy OL.
Even if they wanted to trade the #1, I think they'd have difficulty doing so. There's really not a "can't miss" prospect that everyone is clamoring for this year...
