Then it's a waste.

I'll be so ****ing pissed if all we can get out of this draft is Ryan ****ing Nassib.

Reid already opened that door during his press conference by stating the Chiefs might get the quarterback NEXT YEAR.

They may evaluate these QBs and not like a single one of them enough to give them the keys to the franchise.

I'm going to trust his QB evaluation. I may disagree about it, but I'll give him some time to prove me wrong.

This is just my speculation, but if he doesn't like any of them, may go with Vick on a 2 year deal and take someone next year.

This forum is all about Geno Smith as a Franchise QB. Yet every single article I read elsewhere says that this draft doesn't have a Franchise QB.

I got the feeling from Reid's statement that he was tempering the fan base because at this point in time, HE doesn't know if there's a Franchise QB in the THIS draft and he doesn't want everyone to be disappointed if he chooses another position or trades out.

Like you, I'll trust his QB evaluation.

We can't put stock in a single thing said in the presser today. Coach speak all the way.

But answer me this: When is "Coach Speak" not Coach Speak? How can you be absolutely certain that he didn't mean what he said? That he was going to evaluate the position and NOT choose a QB, just to choose a QB and that he may choose a QB next year?

I'm sorry, but I have to leave open the possibility that he's telling the truth. I also believe it's possible that they pass on a QB at #1 overall.

True.

But I don't really see next years class being even close to this years class.

Absolutely he's going to evaluate the roster in great depth. I wouldn't expect anything less, but I don't think making that statement, while true, makes any news. Kind of like saying after a loss, "We need to execute better." Well, no shit.

What he's not going to do is give any indication of how he'll fix the QB situation in KC.

Now, I agree that he might not take a QB at 1/1, but I think it's an absolute lock that we won't get beyond the #33 overall pick without selecting a QB who will be penciled in to start next season at some point.

This is what everyone should want. They should want an evaluation, and not some asshole coming in here with his mind already made up like the last GM who I won't even dignify with a name anymore.

Instead, there's going to be some on here who go all crazy if Geno Smith isn't the guy.

I want a QB in here too, but I also wanted new leadership first and foremost. I trust that new leadership can identify QBs since that's what a majority of them have done an incredible job with a majority of their careers.

Exactly.

The man is considered a QB "Guru" and there's little evidence to doubt his judgements over the years. If he passes or trades out at #1, I'm good with it.

This isn't 2012 or 2004 or 1983.

It also isn't 2007, either.

And I don't think there's any chance in hell we trade out of #1.

If we don't want a QB, nobody else does either. If you take out the QBs, there's literally TWO blue chip prospects in this draft and the Chiefs could use both of them.

We're not trading out because we won't be able to find a willing partner.

And every single one of those articles mention RG3 and Andrew Luck.

The simple fact is that this year's class is being judged unfairly.

Fairly or unfairly, that will be the standard moving forward.
