That said, I do believe that most people on Chiefsplanet tend to overvalue draft picks. If you look at the history of the Chiefs second round picks over the past 20 years, you're looking at a virtual wasteland. Quote:
There is some truth to that mantra, whether you agree or not. No one? Do you mean Clark Hunt and the Hunt family? Because last I checked, they're the people writing the checks. |

Successful teams pull ****ing gems from the late rounds, we can't even get it right in the 2nd, where there's some R1 talent left over. Carl/Pioli ****ups aren't a reason to give away valuable picks. |

But the Geno Mafia twists my words into "not wanting a QB". It's ****ing bullshit. |

Why take a less talented QB like Nassib or Bray when you can take the best QB in the class and develop him? Pass on Geno or Barkley, (you're not getting Barkley in R2) but spend a pick on a guy that needs more work, and has a higher bust factor... Makes zero sense. |

He can sit for a year. Wouldn't be the first QB taken high in the draft to do so. If you're going to develop a guy, develop the BEST guy. Not some slapdick. |

No QB worth No. 1 overall! Better off spending No. 32 overall on the 4th or 5th guy! Better off spending No. 61 overall on the 7th or 8th best guy!

You mentioned Locker and Ponder. Well, Gabbert is crap as well, yet the best QB outside of Cam Newton, is Andy Dalton. Right? If the Chiefs take Geno Smith, I'll fully back that decision. But if they don't, I won't lose any sleep. As I mentioned, I'd love to see them grab Barkley, Nassib, Bray or even Dysert as a developmental and hopefully, QBOTF. I'm not and have never been Anti-first round QB and to even imply such a thing is a gross mis-characterization. |

I'm not sure they can stop doing it. I think it's a part of their blood oath.
