That seals it. Soren Petro's the biggest troll in KC.

Dimitroff: You can take a QB in this draft, place him in the right situation and have success. Some good prospects in this draft.

Another thought on death. As we all know reid is not a young man. So one as to think he did not take the chiefs job to screw around. He is surely wants to get back to a sb and win it in the very near future. That is most likely why he did not take the arizona job.

The only problem with having a QB become a bust is that you are truly building around the centerpiece of your team.

If your 1st pick is a lineman and he falters, people don't seem to get as wired as if your 1st round RB or QB falter.

Thanks for the advice, dumbshit. How many games did your team win without a QB? What was it, two? And what are you doing as a result of that now?

The fanbase would revolt if that happens.

Smart man.

You go back to the well and take another QB, because you aren't winning without one.

That's the risk that comes with the possibility of REWARD.

so missing on a draft pick is okay at QB but at any other position the GM should be fired?

or is it that fans give themselves a pass but break out the pitchforks for the GM?


:)

In situation A) the GM is at least giving the team a chance to win. In situation B) the team has no chance to win.

Don't really see why this is so difficult to understand.

I bet after reviewing Cassel tape that Andy would suit himself up at QB rather than make Matty the starter again.

No. ROFL

If you draft an IMPACTFUL player high, you inherently have higher risk and higher reward.

Fans like tackles because if they bust (and they do, at a higher rate than QBs actually) it doesn't hurt.

Of course, they completely ignore the fact that when those guys play at a high level, it often ALSO goes unnoticed because it has almost no impact on wins and losses.

Ideally, the Chiefs fall in love with a QB and take him #1 overall. If they don't, the second best option IMO is to take him at #34.

What would really be disheartening to me, in this particular draft, is for the Chiefs to pass on a QB #1 overall, then trade up into the first round to draft a QB. At that point, you're wasting precious resources that can be used for other areas of need (S, ILB, CB, WR, etc.).

If a guy is good enough at #20, take him at #1. Don't waste a #2 and #4 to get him at 20. That's just plain dumb.
