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?

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? |

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.

Most of us were just hoping, more than anything.
