Chiefs If not #1, where?

Kiper and McShay and a lot of the "experts" that are out there right now are guilty of the same sin: Underestimating how much positional value QBs have in today's NFL.

I just laugh when I see things projecting no more than 1-2 QBs taken in the first. That's just not going to happen, not with this many teams with great needs.

KC @ 1
Jax @2 (AND 33, for Chiefs' purposes)
Oakland @3
Philadelphia @4
Arizona @7
Buffalo @8
Jets @ 9

And that's just teams with "need." It doesn't take into account any teams with good but aging or declining QBs (New Orleans @15, San Diego @11, Denver @28) or that Baltimore might lose Flacco in FA and Houston might nab a young, high-upside guy to push Schaub.

To suggest that no Qbs are worth a first-round grade or that only 1-2 will go in the first round is just silly and disregards reality.
