..... Would you draft a QB in the first round? If not who would you draft?

**mlyonsd** · 11-12-2008, 08:41 AM

This is a great question but is being asked too early IMO. Let's see what happens the rest of the season. Right now I'm liking Thigpen and hope we can hold out on a QB in the draft until the 3rd or 4th round.

Brock · 11-12-2008, 08:41 AM

We're going to get a DE, IMO.

StcChief · 11-12-2008, 08:43 AM

Detriot schedule doesn't look like any W's are in it... but never know.
Chiefs likely get 1 or 2 more Ws. so consider Stafford GONE.

If Thiggy continues to play well.... our pressing needs elsewhere say 2nd rounder for QB.

Thiggy as QBotF

then..........

RT or DE in the 1st
DE or LB in the 2nd
QB in the 3rd

If Thiggy continues to play well, and Detroit lands the first pick and they take Stafford, then the lack of another high draft prospect at QB dictates addressing another pressing need.

I can't comment on a couple of guys, like Nate Davis, that I haven't seen, but of the QBs that I have seen, I don't see a second round prospect.

The kid has some talent, and I wouldn't be shocked at all to see him go on the first day. His biggest downfall, IMO is his footwork, but that can be easily remedied.

I have watched parts of BSU's last two games and have been impressed with Davis. The only thing is that he doesn't look very tall.

Yes, lets' put all of our eggs in one basket, like we have for twenty plus years. That way when Thigpen starts to struggle or gets injured we can have NOBODY to count on- sounds like a Carl plan to me.

You take a QB, either Stafford or Bradford and let them two battle it out.... No way do we just sit on our asses and let one of these guys go by...

PastorMikH · 11-12-2008, 09:38 AM

If Thiggy keeps playing at this level I may not draft a 1st round QB, but I would be drafting a first day QB as well as signing a competent older veteran in the off season to serve as a backup (Let him and Huard compete for the backup spot). At this point, as much as I was pulling for Croyle, his injuries are a real problem, you don't cut a first day pick QB, and if we are competitive next season, the veteran backup is important, so that would leave Croyle at #4 in my book on the Chiefs roster. The only way I could see keeping him is if his knee is still rehabing and he could be on the PUP or IR list next season.

If Thiggy keeps playing like he has the last three games, here's my QB rotation next year...

1. Thiggy
2. Older Veteran QB
3. First day Draft pick

If the game is a complete blowout either way, in the 4th I'd pull Thiggy and play the Draft Pick QB. If Draft Pick QB gets hurt, Thiggy and Old Vet are ineligible because Draft Pick QB came in, we'd run some direct snaps to the RB or let Brady throw the ball.

I hope so. We need a sure-fire pass-rusher.

Josh Freeman is definitely not worth a second-round pick to the Chiefs.

I think the coaching he has received so far has seriously reeruned his growth. He obviously has huge physical skill, but he is severely lacking in a lot of other areas (touch, accuracy, consistency). Freeman is a 2-4 year project before he's even ready to be a No. 2 qb. He could be an excellent second-round pick for a team that is able to sit him long enough to develop, but for a team with big needs? How do you wait that long on the second guy you pick?

The Chiefs have too many holes to take a long-term project at QB in round 2. Round 3, MAYBE, if you have multiple picks.

I never thought I'd back Whitlock up about a Ball State guy, but Nate Davis looks pretty legit. Great arm strength (only guy other than Ryan Mallet that I think can rival Stafford's), good accuracy, very good mobility, and a knack for making plays. He also knows when to throw his fastball and when to drop a pass in with great touch.

Ball State plays a lot of those MAC Tuesday games. I'd recommend catching Ball State in action to anyone who wants the Chiefs to draft a QB.

The only real question is whether Davis is really 6-2. I'm not sure he is, and that could hurt him.

Pitt Gorilla · 11-12-2008, 09:41 AM

I realize I'm a homer, but it might be worth it to bring in a guy like Chase Patton. He's got a cannon for an arm and is incredibly bright.
