Here's more. And I wish they had taken Lee and Washington. 4/23/10.

For some reason, I just have a feeling that they won't take Clausen.

This quote speaks directly to you, Dude.

Otherwise, I'd want Berry, hands down.

McClain and Okung can suck it.

If you're good with them drafting Clausen, then that's bad. Especially in the first round. FAIL.

And, by the way, who's playing better right now - Okung or Berry?

Did you miss what I said? If Charlie Weis has convinced them to draft Clausen, I was good with it. Weis has had a pretty good history with QB's. If not for him, Cassel, Haley and Pioli probably would have been gone LAST year.

I wasn't endorsing anyone and said I wanted Berry.

McClain is ass. Okung is "okay" but not at the expense of moving Albert to guard.

JFC, Dude.

And, if whoever they draft this year doesn't work out, they can most certainly draft Marcus Mariota in 2015 or 2016. Jesus H. Stop Dancing Christ that kid is a baller.

Genooooooo

For long enough, this team's played it safe. Let's go with Geno. If he busts, we can draft again in a few years.

I didn't really use the correct terminology. But mobility was where I was getting at. And thank you for correcting me.

I believe that since the league is evolving into more of a passing league, the two most important positions on a team are becoming increasingly evident nowadays. To me, that's both QB and passrusher be it 4-3 DE or 3-4OLB.

Mobility is key. I believe that if you have a QB who can move around in the pocket or run around passrushers, it causes passrushers to play more straight up and honest. And they take less chances rushing the QB because they're thinking of containing the QB. Just a little simple thing like that changes the overall approach on how a passrusher will play against a QB. And it slows down the passrush IMO. That's just one big reason why a mobile QB is so advantageous to an offense.

Unfortunately, the Chiefs are making this decision in a pretty weak QB class. I'm less and less excited about Geno, and okay with Barkley but his upside is that he'll be a non-elite franchise QB.

The Chiefs should draft 2 QBs. I love the idea of going with a safer guy like Barkley, then in the later rounds taking a real big gamble. Someone like Jordan Rodgers or Jeff Tuel -- no safe picks like Klein or Nassib, who are probably career backups.

Murray has been a huge disappointment for me. I think he's a tremendous developmental guy. But he looks way too robotic and I don't think he's been coached well on mechanics. He also hasn't shown up in big situations, but I also don't think he's been put in a great situation to succeed in those situations either.

It's a real big shame because apart from size, he seems to have the pedigree to be a very good QB. But he'll probably not declare this year and even next year, he'll probably be a project pick.

A lot of that will depend on coaching IMO. Chiefs will have the #1 pick but having the right coaching in place will be just as important.

Coaching will dictate a lot as to whether or not we see improvements in player development. I think that becomes even more critical especially with the #1 pick and a brand new QB on board.
