Chiefs Would drafting a QB in the first round renew your excitement for the Chiefs?

I think it's the ONLY thing that can reel me back in as a fan and get me interested, again.

It's worth noting that the scouting department is hitting the QB trail hard. Every week our scouts are out there scouting multiple QBs. Per Dan Patrick.

Absolutely!!!!!!!

I've been big on the idea as of late but the more I look at things, I think we need to forget it. Reasons:

1. They won't win less than 6-7 games, destroying the draft position. The schedule isn't difficult enough for them to not win 4 out of 9 minimum playing good defense.

2. Smith's contract/statistics + Reid's regime. By finishing around 7-9, Reid will keep the job and thus with their commitment to Alex, so will he.

Your best bet to be 'revived' will be them earning it on the field.

We will be in position to draft a good QB.

Cook
Goff
Jones
Lynch
Hackenburg
Brissett

There will be a good QB available.

I have no doubts were going to draft a QB that they think can be the starter in 2017 at the latest...my hope is they don't look at the position depth and say "we can wait till the second or third round" and that they make a statement they are going to go out and get the absolute best guy they can in the first round...even if that means trading up.

Well....you just listed what looks to be several 2nd-3rd round guys.

Like Bridgewater, Dalton, Carr, etc?

I'm down with that level of QB in the first.

How deep would you consider this year's class to be? Is there any other QB class you would compare this class to in terms of depth?

ToxSocks · 10-26-2015, 04:35 PM

Meh. Not really. Because that Qb still has to pan out. Simply drafting one doesn't fix the Chiefs.

There's a good chance the QB will be a bust or mediocre at best because Chiefs.

Now, if that QB comes in and shows some Marriota like promise...then maybe.

But....otherwise...meh. Im getting too old to be getting my hopes up for nothing.

Prove it and then we'll talk.

great idea until you start him and he gets killed and ruined forever due to the lack of any oline.

I'd draft oline (LT and a G) in the first 2 rounds next year and see how the team does with Alex or any of the others on the team.

If no big time improvement (playoffs), you draft a qb in the first and toss him right in with an updated and improved line in front of him.

Besides, Alex is on the books for too much money for it to make sense to draft a qb next year. If he doesn't take the team to the playoffs with the improved oline, you cut him and the remaining salary which wont be such a big cap hit at that point.

This is actual very valid, providing they don't end up like 4-12 or worse. If they end up in that 7-9 range like I suspect, their best bet is to try to improve that line before making a big investment at QB via the draft. It'll ruin their potential.

Point to the part of the doll the Chiefs touched you...

Do they get rid of Reid or am I forced to get excited watching the new kid make throws behind the los on third and long?
