The position is just that important these days. I agree to some extent... you don't take someone if you really, truly believe they won't be successful in the NFL or in your system... you don't try for the sake of trying. And maybe this was the one year the Chiefs are right in just making the safe move and picking up a retread and undrafted QB... maybe this regime actually has it right and has a plan, blah blah... but, they couldn't even make a stretch at #63 or #96 or #99, etc.
