Well, there's your problem, ma'am.
For some reason it took Scott Pioli four seasons to realize Matt Cassel wasn't a legit option for this franchise. I assume it's because Matt was his buddy, and Scott is too much of an insecure dumbass to "trust" his team to just anybody he doesn't know.
Think about this for a second. Scott gave Cassel a freebie year in 2009. Then 2010 happened and Scott assumed that life was great in Chiefs land. Then there are all the reports that none of the coaches thought Matt was any good. He gets rid of them all one way or another and KEEPS Matt. And not only does he keep him around, but he drafts ZERO competition apart from one 5th rounder.
Now, we're to assume that Scott would have drafted at least ONE QB in this draft if he were still GM, but even then we can't guarantee it'd be a very high pick. And most likely we'd be looking at another year of Cassel while that QB sits on the bench.
I'll bet Scott didn't pass on all those QBs because he thought they weren't good enough. I'll bet he passed on them because he genuinely believed that he had his franchise QB, and teams with franchise QBs don't actively pursue good QBs in the draft.
