How do you define the Chiefs Needs? As well as value for those needs in the draft.

1. NT - key to 3-4 defense
2. C - need someone to anchor the middle of the line. Raiders and Ravens raped us the middle thus collapsing the whole line
3. WR - we have nothing after Bowe
4. OLB - Vrabel's spot, Studebacker can man it but would feel better if he is our 3rd LB not a starter
5. RT - BRich played decently, personally I think a better OL coach would make the difference but we promoted Muir to OC so no dice

I could argue the order of 2-4, but ultimately, you're right regarding the QB position.

Winning the Super Bowl is hard enough even if you DO have an elite QB. There are several solid teams that fall short every year.

Trying to win with lessor talent at the most important position is like hoping to win the lottery. Someone may do it, but the likelihood of it being you are slim.

An elite QB makes this team an instant contender, IMO, even with the holes we have. Until we get one, expect more "wait until next year" every January.
