Andy Reid has not 'pushed' the development of any young QB since he's been here.
You can tell when a team is really trying to push the success of a young QB. We haven't. Every young QB we've draft under Reid is gone except Bray. I believe that's because Bray has been so easy to keep. I don't believe he even used(because he was on IR) a roster spot until 2016. He's our token young guy to keep around so the Chiefs can look like they are trying. If we don't pick a QB this year OR set up a play to get a QB next year(ie trade for more picks next year etc.) then that is all you need to know about what Reid really thinks about Alex Smith.

Most of us were just hoping, more than anything.

Murray's injured knee caused his draft stock to fall, absolutely. But to the fifth round? And passed up in favor of Logan Thomas getting selected by the Cards where Murray's pedigree as a career-ranked SEC passer would have made a lot more sense to clipboard hold for a season or two behind Palmer and Stanton? Nah. 32 FOs had him pegged fairly in retrospect as a career backup at best and an also-ran QB washout at worst.

You don't look like too much of a genius waiting to nab a potential starter in the 3rd round if someone else beats you to the punch.

If the Chiefs don't take a QB in the first 2 rounds, it's not trying. And this year guys like Peterman will be taken in rd 2. Enough with the bullshit. If the Chiefs show us that they don't care next week, I won't be wasting time watching the Chiefs on Sundays until they do.

If they want him, they have to REALLY want him because I don't know that he'll even see 20 at this point. It may take your 1st, 2nd and next year's 2nd to get up ahead of Arizona if you really want Mahomes. I can't tell you how much I hated hearing the positive reports coming out of their camp because now you're talking about getting all the way up to Cleveland or NO's picks and those guys already have multiple 1sts so they may be all the more difficult to deal with.

Dorsey took a bag of magic beans to move out of the 1st last year. Why should we expect he'll suddenly get an extra 1st for his troubles?

He would be swapping a 1st this year for a 1st next year gaining an extra 2nd rounder this year

The draft value chart shows that we could trade 27, our 3rd and a 2018 2nd for the value of pick 14. I think they could set that deal up and see if Arizona takes one. If Mahomes or Watson is there, do it.

He gave up his 1st for a 2nd and 4th last season. You're saying he'll give up his 1st for a 2nd and next year's 1st. So essentially you're expecting him to move up, what, 800 points in draft return? If he gets a 1st next season, he'll have to trade into the 3rd, not the 2nd.

If Mahomes makes it past Arizona, you may still have to move up that high to stay ahead of Houston but when I say there's too much smoke, I mean I'm pretty damn worried that he doesn't get past Arizona.

I agree.. Arizona is pretty much in the same boat as KC when it comes to "needs".
