We're not getting anything qb worthy any other way. Even assuming Geno doesn't have the fantastic potential to be completely worthy of the No. 1 pick, there's still a lot of teams out there quite desperate for a QB. I don't care if the qb draft CLASS is weak, because we have the top overall pick. Finally, Some folk'll never lose a toe, but then again, some folk'll like cletus, the slack jawed Joeckel. |

The venom in here is awesome.
fwiw.. Jarvis Jones does remind me a bit of Derrick Thomas. and like I said to begin with, I agree that we need a QB very badly. I'm just glad we have someone in charge that can recognize QB talent and won't be afraid to look elsewhere with the first pick if he doesn't deem the talent level at the position worth of the no. 1 pick overall.

Not to mention that the year before the Long pick MIA chose Ronnie Brown at #2 and passed on Aaron Rodgers. IMO there is more risk in not taking a shot with a QB than trying to play it safe

Good. We want more excellent talent at the top of the draft, in case Reid isn't completely sold on Geno and wants to trade down a few spots to grab a different QB. The more good non-QB talent at the top of the draft, the better for the Chiefs.

I'm really starting to believe that if the actual Willie Roaf and the actual Christian Ponder were in the draft. This board would crucify anyone who would say to pick Roaf. Just seems to be QB or bust. BTW... from Andy Reid's comments in the PC... seems that he isn't sold on a QB at no.1 this year either. However, if we do take a QB with the first pick. I will be very happy.

"Joekel is the best OT prospect in 10 years" and "He's the next Willie Roaf". Offer some substance and I'll respond in kind. All you've done is offer your spin on a tired debate without any facts to back it. As maqe has noted - many of us are tired of the double standard being applied to prospects at 'lesser' positions. If you draft Joekel, he's a surefire HOFer whereas if you draft a QB, he's the next Ryan Leaf. It's just dumb and ultimately it's nothing more than a by-product of A) People in KC have had this anti-QB bias beaten into them and B) The unrealistic and wholly inaccurate assumption that you only take a QB at #1 overall when Andrew Luck is sitting there. That's why you got blasted. Not because of your opinion, but because your opinion is the same re-packaged, ill-informed, wrong-headed tripe that we've heard for years.

JOEKELYTES UNITE!!!!
The 'Albert to G' stuff started even sooner than I thought... Because I'm sure a guy that was in the top 1/2 of the league at the highest paid O-line position in football is just dying to switch to a lower paid position in as a FA. Seems like a savvy career move, doesn't it? People are idiots.

Ironically, I think if the Chiefs would have won a couple of more games and had a lower draft spot in the first the same things would have happened and we probably would draft a quarterback. This place is going to epic meltdown status on draft day because I don't think Geno is in the cards. |

I can totally understand where you are coming from. You are right, I have nothing but what I heard on the radio stating that some think he's the best OT prospect in 10 years. But you have to agree that this is a very DOWN QB year. -Everyone is charging ahead for Geno solely based on his big numbers early in the season. Barkley was so/so and got hurt. Assuming those are the 2 best options for the 1st pick at QB. They just both appear to be "Christian Ponder" to me. Game managers at best. Just NOT the type of players you take with the overall no. 1 pick if there is a stunning player at a different position. Like a Jarvis Jones type guy who can really be a game changer. We are not going to be able to turn this all around in 1 season, I'm sorry. We need talent.
