I realized after last year that I am not going to keep an eye on any of our potential QBOTF this year until after the season because:
1. No one knows where we will be drafting 2. No one knows who will and will not declare 3. No one knows how many people in front of us will need a QBOTF 4. The last time we drafted a QB in round 1 was 1983, so I don't have faith that we suddenly will draft one. |

The reason I'm opening up this conversation is that I don't think we have to "suck" on purpose to get a good QB. Last year, it was all in for RGIII and Andrew Luck. I'm sorry, but Tannehill is NOT a guy I want to drain a top 10 pick on. I think you'll find by year end a lot of QBs who are equal or better to Tannehill. Even if the Chiefs end up in the top 25, I think they could potentially stay put and get a decent QB prospect or trade up fairly unaggressively to get a good QB prospect.

What's the obsession with Wilson? Every time an Arkansas QB has a shot at the NFL, this forum goes apeshit over them. I don't ****ing get it.

I've liked Aaron Murray since his fresheman year, and think the kid has something that a good coaching staff could get out of him.
I am not a fan of the Bulldog's staff. I am coming around on Geno Smith.

2. There are a lot of good QBs who have to declare. Barkley, Landry Jones, Tyler Wilson, Geno Smith, and the door is open for any other QB to slide up. I wouldn't be surprised to see Aaron Murray, Tyler Bray, Logan Thomas, or Tajh Boyd declare as well. I think it's safe to say there will be at least 5 true first round calibre QBs in the draft, whereas I thought last year there were only 3 (and Tannehill, I still believe, would have been low first in any other draft class). 3. There is more than enough that leads us to believe there will be a dramatically reduced need for a QB in the NFL next year. 4. Yes, I agree. I don't think we'll draft a QB, but we can at least become informed about how idiotic it would be NOT to draft a QB. No matter how well Cassel does this season. |

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. |

Sadly, however, I believe it will be Landry Jones.

I didn't like Mallett because I thought he was tremendous pocket passer, but don't think he'll ever be the right kind of leader. I think Wilson, on the other hand, gets you the qualities of a good pocket passer without the baggage. |

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. |

And I think everyone around here should be happy with that selection for the Chiefs as no one seems to like Belcher on this board. (Which is tragic as Jovan has markedly improved the past two seasons and, IMO, is one of the better/unheralded 3/4 mike backers in the NFL. Guy absolutely blows up guards and hits like a freight train.) So, I would assume that if someone like, say, Geno Smith is sitting there and they pick a mike backer, this board should be ecstatic. |
