It's perfect when the team's foundation is in place. When you've got your LT, good starters on defense, and that other thing. QB. Yeah, that's pretty important. Going to a BPA draft strategy is ****ing reeruned if you don't have a QB. |

Eli Manning sat and that worked out pretty well...
I'm not naive enough to think Geno will be the pick at #1 but if they do draft him and sit him for a year, even 3rd string him a la Palmer, I'm 100% ok with that and would be a happy camper all season long regardless of W/L results. |

We all know there is basically a 3 year curve for a defensive lineman.....so his first year is going to be meh at best. And taking a CB at #1 to be your #2 is a little rough. What's the learning curve for a rookie CB? How'd Joe Haden do his first year? Patrick Peterson (remove his PR/KR stats)? |

BPA "on our board"
Surely, they set their board partially by need. Look at GBs draft history....when their defense sucked, they spent damn near every pick on defense. |

Any team picking #1 in 2013 needs to draft a guy that starts immediately. The #2 pick will certain get an immediate starter, as will most teams from 3 to probably 32. Only the Chiefs are going to pick a guy at #1 that has to sit? |

I just don't understand why so many want us to use 1.1 on a backup QB.
1.1 should be an immediate starter with probowl potential. |

We wouldn't be drafting a QB at 1.1 to be a "backup", and you know that. If that's what happened, the Chiefs would be grooming him to be the face of our franchise for the decade or more to come, hopefully. Although it's been a trend in the past few years for rookie QBs to start immediately, it's not the only option.

Don't be too hard on Hog Farmer it's possible his fingers may be slippery and he typed that by mistake.

No, what I mean is he has the POTENTIAL to be a career backup. If this was not the case there would be team splooging all over him but there's not. |

The Giants are a perfect example. They signed Kurt Warner to a 2 year deal and started him for the opener and te first 9 games. They even had a winning record when they pulled him and Eli went 1-6 the rest of the year.

Better to draft a QB and let him sit for a year than have to suffer through history alongside the 2008 Miami Dolphins as the only team dumb enough to pick a LT at #1 if you are slightly skiddish on the playability of the QBs this year. And before you bring up Orlando Pace, remember that Jake Long and Luke Joeckel are not even ****ing CLOSE to being the kind of player Orlando Pace is or was. |
