Cassel was a risky move. If both QB's happen to be on the board when the Chiefs select, fans will always compare the trajectories of these three players.
Frankly, I think we took the guy with the lowest upside.

I dissagree. I think that the QB at #3 would have to be a franchise QB... but I see what you are saying.
I don't think Cassel was a risky move. I think he will be a serviceable QB at worst that will give the Chiefs a chance to compete as they continue to draft and develop young QB's looking for the next great one.
Cassel has already played a season at a high level against NFL defenses, so from this point, he may not 'ascend' much more. So, I can see why he doesn't have too much upside.
But that is more because Sanchez and Stafford have proven nothing, so even getting to where Cassel was last year.... would be a tremendous achievement.
