This drift is interesting, because it plays on the whole "Do you draft a QB or the best talent available" argument. Much like us. Do we draft the best guy on the board, or do we take a QB? With this change in structure, you're going to take a QB despite still having needs elsewhere. I don't believe you conscientiously waste a pick, but I believe if you are certain that you can develop one of the QBs from this year into a winning QB, I think you pull the trigger.
In regards to DT, he's going to get a lot of love because we are all Chiefs homers. If you posted this on a Rams board or soemthing, undoubtedly this goes in favor of Aikman quite handsomely.
DT was hall of fame talent, but according to 99.99% of CP, you don't take a linebacker this early, even if he is hall of fame talent.

Those Chiefs teams were built just exactly like the Cowboys.
We had the RB, we had the maulers on the line, we had the defense.
The thing we didn't have was the QB.
The choice here is obvious.
