What should the Chiefs do with the No. 1 pick?

The Kansas City Star
For the first time in franchise history, the Chiefs hold the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. So for such a monumental occasion, The Star is asking everyone — well almost everyone — what they think the Chiefs should do. So far, George Brett and Rob Riggle have weighed in. Check back for more opinions as we track them down and add your own in the comments.

• “I’d draft the best player available. I don’t care what position he is, I’d take the best player.”

| George Brett

• “Unfortunately, this year’s draft isn’t quite as rich as last year’s. I would say get the best player available. Go Chiefs!”

| Actor Rob Riggle, an Overland Park native and resident comedian on Fox NFL Sunday

• “I would try to trade down and get a quarterback later … Geno Smith.”

| ESPN’s Ed Werder

• “They need a leader. They need a quarterback.”

| NFL Network’s Stacey Dales

• “Luke Joeckel. He’s really a good player. He can play left tackle. You can justify taking a left tackle, a defensive end who can rush the passer or a quarterback (with the first overall pick). If Joeckel couldn’t play left tackle, and he was a right tackle, I don’t think you can justify it. It has to be somebody who fits that bill.”

| Gil Brandt, draft analyst for NFL.com and former Dallas Cowboys personnel director

• “Can’t pick a quarterback. They’ve got to pick a lineman. They’ll be OK.”

| Herm Edwards, ESPN analyst and former Chiefs coach

• “Knowing Andy Reid, I’d go after the best player possible. I’d wait on a quarterback. These coaches can turn Cassel around.”

| Former Chiefs and Royals groundskeeper George Toma, working his 47th Super Bowl

I don't know if its just me or not but instead of trying to "turn someone around" I would rather get someone that is going in the right direction!

I would do the opposite of whatever Herm thinks is a good idea. So, I'm glad Herm didn't say take a QB!

If we can trade back 2 or 3 spots and pick up Tyler wilson and gain another 1st round pick we'd be dumb not to do that.

I read that Herm quote and thought it was a joke. Then I remembered it is Herm.

BTW, since when did Herm's opinions become important anyway?

The funny thing is that quote is almost the exact opposite of what Herm says every week on the radio.

[MahiMike]

Did Herm really say that or was that embellishment?

What are the odds of trading back a few spots and having Geno still available? It's a risky play so I wouldn't want to do that, but if you can pick up some picks and still get Geno, that's a win.
