5 straight. I don't think that's a coincidence. To me it's not even a question. Positional value factors in.

To me personally, this is what everything boils down to with where the Chiefs sit right now. In today's NFL, you are just fighting an up hill battle with a "'decent" QB, and basically an impossible battle with anything less. I feel it's more risky to be the team going forward with a set "decent" QB then it is to go forward with a guy that has a high ceiling and possibly low floor. Option 3(Luck, Peyton, Elway) don't exist but once in a blue moon.
So many people are waiting for the guy with the high ceiling and high floor like Luck. I think waiting for that is crazy. I am not talking about people like Dane, who are admitting they haven't watched enough and want to see more. He has admitted, I hope this is the correct summary, that if the potential is there then you do it.
I am not convinced Geno will be a great QB, but I have a strong belief in the height of his ceiling, which makes it the pick for me.
