Chiefs The QB Reid chooses to lead the Chiefs

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.

5M a year is not a significant financial investment. Most of it comes in a signing bonus and you are looking at a 2-3M cap hit.

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.
