Keywords.. his "eventual successor".
When, after 5 more years of playoff disappointments? |

Pretty sure Aaron Murray was supposed to be Alex's successor.
That turned out well, didn't it?

Anything after the 3rd round isn't a 'plan' for anything. It's a hope that a player works out and if he does, you'll go from there. If you're drafting 4th rounders with the expectation that they're going to knock starters out of the lineup, you have some pretty shitty starters. Aaron Murray was a noble experiment (and, IMO, more of an attempt to find a credible, low-cost backup than a replacement for Smith) who just didn't work out. Gonna see that a hell of a lot more often than you don't in the 5th round and later...

5th round - offensive guard (you might really be planning on him doing something) 5th round - kick returner/punter returner ![]() etc,etc Not the quarterback position though. I don't care how often the Patriots say that they knew that Brady was a stud. They got lucky.

How I felt about Murray vs. how the Chiefs felt about Murray are two different things. I've admitted over and over again to being wrong about Murray.
If somebody like me that thought he could be the QBOTF can clearly see they never felt the same way, how can you not? |

If the Chiefs had any belief that Aaron Murray was going to make Alex Smith expendable, they wouldn't have taken D'Anthony Thomas in the 4th and just hoped/prayed that this franchise signal caller fell to them a round later.
You know what teams think about quarterbacks based on where they draft them. This isn't a position they're willing to **** around and game the system on because if they read the board wrong, the consequences are just too great. That's why you can say the Cowboys just got ****ing lucky with Dak - he wasn't anywhere near the top of their board but Jerrah was dead set on taking a QB and by the 4th, that was who he had available to him. If Cody Kessler was still available he may well have taken him - he wanted a quarterback and that was the guy left standing. The 'boys got lucky. If you think you see a starting QB on the board, you take him by the end of the 2nd - period. Otherwise you're just hoping you get lucky with a turd you can polish into a competent game manager.
