OTW, like I've said, looking more and more like missing Sanchez was a huge mistake. And the 2009 draft was an embarrassment. I just don't understand the case for 2010 and how people are using McCluster's performance against the Colts as some sort of a justification. I agree the Chiefs needed insurance at QB, but I'm not using a 2nd round pick on a QB unless I want him to be a starter for me.
It goes back to the way people move the uprights. There are about a million and a half threads about how the only way to get a franchise QB is in the first round. If that's the case, then Clausen doesn't fit that mold and we would have wasted a 2nd round pick on a career backup.
Lumping Clausen into the "potential franchise QB" category is very liberally stretching what I thought most people on this board were saying pretty clearly about the importance of first round QBs.
