That's 14%.
Do you like those odds? Or is there a Manning in this draft that's yet to be identified?
There are many ways to win a Super Bowl. While I would like the Chiefs to draft and develop a QB (something I believe they will do in this regime), it's not required to draft a QB at 1.1 to win a Super Bowl.

Since 2004, when the rules changed dramatically to give the offense an advantage, 7 of 9 Super Bowl winning QB's were drafted in the 1st round.
The 8th was Tom Brady, and the 9th was Drew Brees - who was taken withing the first 32 picks.
All seven were drafted and developed by the teams they won with.
It's not a coincidence, but go ahead, continue to push all-in with 8-4 offsuit.
Better yet, let's create a hole and use that 1.1 your so adamant about wasting on a potential franchise QB to fill the hole - on the OL - which is about the least important group when it comes to winning championships.
