The bottom line for me is that I'd hate to see the Chiefs take a QB because they NEED a QB, then end up with Jake Locker or Blaine Gabbert. That, to me, would suck and further set back the franchise. |

One thing to consider is whoever gets drafted in this spot will command a $50+ million dollar deal over seven years. It's not a spot to just take a guy that doesn't fit the system, especially a QB. You are looking for a difference-maker at any position and Reid will take the best player on the board at QB, OT, LB, DT, or DB in that order if and only if 1) he is worthy of a franchise player status, 2) he can't find a trade partner willing to trade down for multiple picks.

Andrew Luck got 5 years $22 million last year. $22 million total. New CBA has a rookie slotting scale now. That's why you're going to start seeing QB's fly off the shelf in the top 10 picks.

But conversely, Gabbert, Locker and Ponder all went in the first back in 2011 and none have been even average. Gabbert and Locker have been downright terrible at times. Ponder was called the worst QB in the league by Jimmy Johnson earlier this season.

I am pretty damn confident Reid will draft a QB at #1.
That whole Q&A thing, "Andy, you're going to a team without a QB WHATEVER WILL YOU DO???" "Well, they have the #1 overall pick..." The guy is thinking QB. He was thinking QB all season in Philly, assuming his team would need to draft a new guy. He's going to be thinking QB here. We're getting a QB at #1. Bank on it. |

And when have the Chiefs ever reached for a valuable position? There's a huge difference between QB and 5-technique DT. I can't believe you're making this argument. |

Thanks for the update. Point is, the pick is a fairly significant financial and symbolic commitment to build a team around. Reid won't take it lightly. He will draft a differene maker or trade down. If his QB isnt out there he won't just take the best QB if he's not deserving of the 1/1.

JD, I'm giving some insight on how Reid approaches his drafts - I've lived them for 14 years. I don't get too much into the $$ value of the slots. Don't care too much about that aspect. What is important is the value of the 1/1 in terms of what it means to the team from a perception and image perspective. Does he maximize the value of a difference maker or trade down to stretch it into multiple high quality players. That is the question as I see it. I dont see a Reid QB on the board this year.
