Chiefs smart to look at rookie QB prospects

http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/po...e-qb-prospects

A lot of Chiefs’ fans are all riled up by the news that the Kansas City Chiefs are considering at least two of the top quarterbacks available in the draft.

The Chiefs are looking at rookie quarterbacks. Who do you think they should pursue?

31%
Ryan Tannehill
26%
Kirk Cousins
27%
Brandon Weeden
16%
Brock Osweiler
(Total votes: 2,760)

My reaction? Predictable.

The Chiefs looked into some of the quarterbacks in last year’ draft pool, and I expect them to look at several this year. So, it’s no shock the team is taking closer looks at Texas A&M’s Ryan Tannehill and Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins.

Kansas City starter Matt Cassel turns 30 in May. It would behoove the Chiefs to look for a young prospect to develop. The Chiefs probably have a better chance to draft Cousins rather than Tannehill. Kansas City has the No. 11 pick in the draft, and Tannehill is expected to taken before then.

Cousins is expected to be a second-round pick. The Chiefs have the No. 44 pick in the second round and could have a real shot at Cousins

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the Chiefs show interest in other quarterbacks in the coming weeks, such as Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden, Arizona’s Nick Foles, and Arizona State’s Brock Osweiler.

The Chiefs don’t have a ton of pressing needs, so this might be the time to try to snag the quarterback of the future, and I’m sure that is why the Chiefs are taking pre-draft looks at players at the position.

Meanwhile, in a radio interview, Chiefs’ safety Eric Berry talks about his recovery from a torn knee ligament.

NO....NO...NO

DO NOT WANT COUSINS.

He is a younger Cassel.

They need to go after either of the QB's from those Arizona schools.

That's not a smart move. I've seen both of those guys play multiple times and was far from impressed. But flame on.

Shit.

Put him in the HOF then!

I wouldn't mind Weeden in the 2nd, although my heart's kind of set on Ta'amu.

Chiefnj2 · 03-31-2012, 08:37 AM

Weeden was clutch playing from behind and on 3rd and longs.

Mr_Tomahawk · 03-31-2012, 08:41 AM

We already have a 29 year old QB.

Tombstone RJ · 03-31-2012, 08:49 AM

Weeden is good but he's old, he's almost as old as Cassel. Osweiler is raw and he comes from a college spread offense, no team should draft him before the 2nd round but you know some dumb ass NFL franchise will snatch him up in the first.

I like Cousins, he at least played under center in a pro style offense.

But he is the opposite of clutch.

John elway won SBs past the age of 30. Weeden can too!

Denver just did a backflip when they signed an almost 39 year year old qb
