Troy Aikman, very underrated quarterback in the scheme of things. Dallas had a hell of a team no doubt, but Aikman was the engine that made it go.

Aikman was not that "Great" of a QB in my opinion. That Cowboys Dynasty was absolutely LOADED on both sides of the ball for years. I think you could have taken 10-15 other QBs in that time, and still gotten to the playoffs year in and year out. I mean, look at how many players from that period ended up in the hall of fame, crazy stuff.
This drift is interesting, because it plays on the whole "Do you draft a QB or the best talent available" argument. Much like us. Do we draft the best guy on the board, or do we take a QB? With this change in structure, you're going to take a QB despite still having needs elsewhere. I don't believe you conscientiously waste a pick, but I believe if you are certain that you can develop one of the QBs from this year into a winning QB, I think you pull the trigger. In regards to DT, he's going to get a lot of love because we are all Chiefs homers. If you posted this on a Rams board or soemthing, undoubtedly this goes in favor of Aikman quite handsomely. DT was hall of fame talent, but according to 99.99% of CP, you don't take a linebacker this early, even if he is hall of fame talent. |

We had the RB, we had the maulers on the line, we had the defense. The thing we didn't have was the QB. The choice here is obvious. |

I may have misunderstood the question. Which of the following are we doing?
1. Pretending it's 1989 and we're drafting for the 1989 team with no hindsight about the players' careers? 2. Pretending it's 1989 and we're drafting for the 1989 team with 20/20 hindsight about the players' careers? 3. Pretending that it's 2013 and we're drafting for the 2013 team with no hindsight about the players' careers? 4. Pretending it's 2013 and we're drafting for the 2013 team with 20/20 hindsight about the players' careers? I was assuming Option 2, in which case you take 15,000 rushing yards at 5.0 yards per attempt with a whole lot of fun.

Didn't need a left tackle you had John Alt in his prime. Didn't need a cornerback with Albert Lewis and Kevin Ross. Didn't need a running back with Okoye. Steve DeBerg is your quarterback. The choice is pretty simple IMO. You go with Troy Aikman. |

Admittedly, my initial gut reaction when I see Barry Sanders in any poll is to pick Barry Sanders. I mean, c'mon, he's Barry Sanders. Honestly, I didn't even see Aikman's name until after I voted.
I can definitely see a logic in picking Aikman here, even though ... I mean, c'mon, it's Barry Sanders. But if it's 1989 and you've got a west african nightmare in the backfield, and if you have no benefit of hindsight, yeah, you take Aikman.

Got to go Sanders or Deion. Two probably best ever at their respective positions.

Option 1 = Aikman
Option 2 = Gut-wrenching, no-lose decision between Aikman and Sanders. I can't even imagine the joyous delirium of having Barry Sanders as a Chief. Option 3 = Aikman Option 4 = Gut-wrenching decision to take Aikman just because the game in 2013 is all about the quarterback. Then cry because you can't have Barry.

If the Chiefs take Aikman in that draft he busts just as hard as Blackledge did. The Cowboys surrounded Aikman with a TON of first-round talent. The Chiefs were focused on Defense those days. Aikman would have been horrible in Red.
