Going back to 2000, here's the next QB that was taken after the Chiefs drafted. I think this is a much more fair measure than just picking the best QB in hindsight. I mean I know you're all brilliant GMs who definitely wanted Freeman over Sanchez at the time, but let's stick to what NFL GMs who actually spent approx. infitily more time analyzing the players came up with. I also listed the QBs we could have potentially traded up for, and the ones who were out of reach. 2012 1.11 Dontari Poe NT Memphis Next QB: 1.22 Brandon Weeden Prev QBs (we could have possibly traded up for): 1.8 Ryan Tannehill, 1.2 RGII (if we give away the farm) Out of reach: 1.1 Luck 2011 1.26 Jonathan Baldwin WR Pittsburgh Next QB: 2.35 Andy Dalton Prev possible QBs: 1.8 Jake Locker, 1.10 Blaine Gabbert, 1.12 Christian Ponder (any of those would have probably cost a 2012 #1, also barf) Out of reach: 1.1 Cam Newton 2010 1.5 Eric Berry SS Tennessee Next QB: 1.25 Tim Tebow (ok I'll grant McDaniels is insane, next QB after that? 2.48 Jimmy Clausen) Prev possible QBs: None Out of reach: 1.1 Bradford 2009 1.3 Tyson Jackson DE Louisiana State Next QB: 1.5 Mark Sanchez (Freeman after that) Prev possible QBs: None Out of reach: 1.1 Stafford 2008 1.5 Glenn Dorsey DT Louisiana State Next QB: none until we draft again 2008 1.15 Branden Albert T Virginia Next QB: 1.18 Joe Flacco (considered a big reach by most, but yeah a very good argument for "reaching" for a QB) Prev possible QBs: None Out of reach: 1.3 Ryan 2007 1.23 Dwayne Bowe WR Louisiana State Next QB: 2.36 Kevin Kolb Prev possible QBs: 1.22 Brady Quinn Out of reach: 1.1 JaWalrus (dammit!) 2006 1.20 Tamba Hali DE Penn State Next QB: 2.49 Kellen Clemens Prev possible QBs: 1.10 Matt Leinart, 1.11 Jay Cutler Out of reach: 1.3 Vince Young 2005 1.15 Derrick Johnson LB Texas Next QB: 1.24 Aaron Rodgers Prev possible QBs: None Out of reach: 1.1 Alex Smith 2004 2.36 Junior Siavii Next QB: 3.90 Matt Schaub (damn) Prev possible QBs: 1.22 JP Lossman, 1.11 Big Rape (maybe if we trade a #1) Out of reach: 1.1 Eli, 1.4 Rivers 2003 1.27 Larry Johnson RB Penn State Next QB: 3.88 Dave Ragone Prev possible QBs: 1.19 Kyle Boller, 1.22 Rex Grossman, 1.7 Byron Leftwich (maybe for a #1) Out of reach: 1.1 Carson Palmer 2002 6 Ryan Sims DT North Carolina Next QB: 1.32 Patrick Ramsey Prev possible QBs: 1.3 Joey Harrington Out of reach: 1.1 David Carr 2001 3.75 Eric Downing DT Syracuse Next QB: 4.106 Chris Wienkie Prev possible QBs: 2.1 Drew Brees, 2.53 Quincy Carter, 2.59 Marques Tuiasosopo (guessing not drafted as QB?) Out of reach: 1.1 Michael Vick, 2000 1.21 Sylvester Morris WR Jackson State Next QB: 3.65 Giovanni Carmazzi Prev possible QBs: 1.18 Chad Pennington (I'm sure everyone here was screaming for Tom Brady at 6.199) Out of reach: None All in all there's a lot of crap out there. I'm not saying I'm happy with the Chiefs by any means. But I think it's easy to cherry pick the spots like Flacco, Rodgers, Freeman and Brees, and forget about all the ones we dodged like butt-fumble, Jafatass, Young, Quinn, Jason Campbell, Clausen, etc. or all the years there just wasn't crap to pick from (like many are predicting for this year). |
