What other position would we honestly draft? I can't think of a single one outside of ILB. And even then, talk about a goddamn reach on position value.
With 5 guys available and the starters in solid position, I don't see any way Pioli doesn't finally understand how dire this situation is in KC.

I'd like to believe you. I also believe that Pioli has a few achilles heels. 1) He is stubborn about proving he's right; 2) he is overly loyal to people he likes.
I think the defense and running game will make Cassel look better than he is, which is just enough for Pioli to use propaganda to tell the fans he's the answer.
I think Pioli's history suggests that he'll be overly loyal to Cassel and stubbornly prove that the "Patriot Way" applies to QBs, which is that you continually draft non-first rounders every year. In other words, I'm preparing myself for the disappointment that Pioli will stick with Cassel next year and draft a QB in the 3rd round.
