Everyone wants to make everything 'absolute'. There is no absolute.
I am not saying that Haley won't ever draft a QB in the first round.
But, the position that the Chiefs need a QB, and therefore will draft one #3 overall this year.... is based on flawed logic in my opinion.

Let's take a closer look.
In '97, when Parcells took over the Jets, Jim Druckenmiller was the first QB taken in the draft, and Jake Miller was the second.
#26 and 42 overall respectively.
Danny Wuerful was the third QB picked.
#99 overall.
'98 was the Manning-Leaf draft and the Jets did not have a first round pick.
QBs taken after the Jets first pick, 2nd round #56 overall included Charlie Batch, #60, Jonathon Quinn, #86 and Brian Greise, #91.
Let's go to Dallas.
In '03, he did pass on Byron Leftwich, Kyle Boller and Rex Grossman, all taken in the first round after the Cowboys took Terrence Newman with the #5overall pick.
The Boys did not have a first round pick in '04.
So the only QB you could make an argument that he passed on, really, is Leftwich, who went #7 overall after the "Boys took Newman.
And I don't think you could honestly make a legitimate argument that Leftwich was on the same level as a prospect as Stafford and Sanchez.
So using Parcells draft history really isn't relevent.
