Throw Brady & Montana into that group and its around 70%. Not to mention out of those non-first rounders Stabuch is included and he would have been a first if he didnt have to go to Vietnam. If you want to be the 90's Chiefs go ahead, I would rather be the 90's Cowboys. Which is the team that alot of us want to build. Strong defense with a playmaking offense. Not a game managed one.

Wait....why are you throwing montana in there? He was a third round pick? and Brady? he was a seventh round pick!
I'm totally with you on getting a great QB, I just think that if you pick one in the top 3 and he doesn't become Peyton Manning then you have screwed yourself with a huge contract on a guy who may not even play much. I just think of every single draft choice as a gamble. I think there are defensive players and offensive line type guys who are much better bets to be successsful in the nfl than the QB choices are. So for my money, take sure fire playmakers early, and pick some QBs in the later rounds. Montana was a 3rd round choice, Brady was a seventh. They were taking guys that were better bets and then taking a risk on quarterbacks later on. You pick a QB in the seventh round every season and you're bound to get a decent one and you'll never get burned with a fifty million dollar contract. Look at Arizona with all the money they have tied up with Leinart while Warner takes them to the Super Bowl. And Tennesse in the Super Bowl if they chose Cutler instead? Well, you might be right, but look how much they lost on picking Young, the guys riding the bench and pulling in a huge salary. They could have had an impact player in addition to the Kerry Collins managed running attack. Put in Cutler and maybe that's a play making offense. But if Tennesee picks D'Brickashaw Ferguson or A.J. Hawk, I think they are definitely a better team than they were this year. Quarterback is a very high risk pick, if he doesn't start then he's practically a waste, other positions aren't like that.
