What should the Chiefs do with the No. 1 pick?

The Kansas City Star
For the first time in franchise history, the Chiefs hold the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. So for such a monumental occasion, The Star is asking everyone — well almost everyone — what they think the Chiefs should do. So far, George Brett and Rob Riggle have weighed in. Check back for more opinions as we track them down and add your own in the comments.

• “I’d draft the best player available. I don’t care what position he is, I’d take the best player.”

| George Brett

• “Unfortunately, this year’s draft isn’t quite as rich as last year’s. I would say get the best player available. Go Chiefs!”

| Actor Rob Riggle, an Overland Park native and resident comedian on Fox NFL Sunday

• “I would try to trade down and get a quarterback later … Geno Smith.”

| ESPN’s Ed Werder

• “They need a leader. They need a quarterback.”

| NFL Network’s Stacey Dales

• “Luke Joeckel. He’s really a good player. He can play left tackle. You can justify taking a left tackle, a defensive end who can rush the passer or a quarterback (with the first overall pick). If Joeckel couldn’t play left tackle, and he was a right tackle, I don’t think you can justify it. It has to be somebody who fits that bill.”

| Gil Brandt, draft analyst for NFL.com and former Dallas Cowboys personnel director

• “Can’t pick a quarterback. They’ve got to pick a lineman. They’ll be OK.”

| Herm Edwards, ESPN analyst and former Chiefs coach

• “Knowing Andy Reid, I’d go after the best player possible. I’d wait on a quarterback. These coaches can turn Cassel around.”

| Former Chiefs and Royals groundskeeper George Toma, working his 47th Super Bowl

I just have that feeling. I have no Idea what we will do with the first pick, but If nobody trades for Alex Smith, we would be first in line to sign him off waivers when he is released.

You guys just haven't given Cassel a chance.

[Thig Lyfe]

Jesus Christ, those comments. We are the dumbest ****ing fan base in the world. We don't deserve a quarterback. We don't deserve a Super Bowl. We deserve to all be taken out back and shot.

Tell me you wouldn't put a claim on Smith when he is released.

No, that's sick.

When do we get an official DRAFT LUKE JOECKEL thread?

[ChiefsNow]

We could have two QBs named Smith.

No.

He's the perfect Martyball QB but that's not what we're doing here.

Phat Andy is going to want to sling the ball all day long and have a guy who can carry an offense...
