Yep. Take the proactive approach for once. Don't wait until your pants get pulled down to address the QB position.
It's all fine and dandy if you're the Colts and you fall ass over tea kettle into your solution. It's another situation if you're the Chiefs, who have a tendency to never be in a position to draft a QB when they really need one. If Alex Smith is his meh self from the 49ers, we might win 8 games. Guess how many top QBs in next year's class will be gone by the time we pick? Probably all of them.
We're in a position to draft a QB NOW. One year from now he'll be arguably better and more NFL ready than anything we could find in the draft next year.
It was sickening how this franchise got caught off guard the way they did when they moved on from Trent Green. Alex Smith failing to meet the high expectations being placed on him by this organization is pretty much the exact same situation as moving on from a veteran. A replacement is needed, one that is a significant improvement.
