I think it would be a mistake for KC to select QB Matt Ryan with the their top pick. I can't see a GM paying a non QB top guaranteed money -- unless the organizaton believes Matt Ryan is Peyton Manning material. I think the Chiefs will invest their top pick in an offensive lineman. One player will not win a championship.
It will be interesting to see which way Parcells goes. I don't believe he is interested in any of the top picks. I believe he is interested in creating interest so he can trade out of the first pick. Do you believe Jake Long or Chris Long is worth $40 million? I don't know. Michigan has an excellent reputation for turning out offensive players -- maybe Jake is worth the money. Parcells historically picks up defensive and offensive players later on. He can always take a QB in the second round.
I believe Parcells wants to do more with the first pick. It would not surprise me to see him expire the clock and slide down to the player he wants and save some money if he can't strike a deal with another team. J/M/O
