So now's the time to take risks for big returns. In all facets of the game, we need to try to take the players with the most potential to enable long-term success at the highest levels.
And this is why people were somewhat aggravated with the influx of players like Toomer, Engram, Vrabel, etc. Where's the potential? Yes, the immediate production might be better than alternative B, but to what and where are we building?

First, I do not believe this team is devoid of talent. In fact, guys like Dj and Dorsey are hugely talented.
I think some of that will show with better coaching.
I also believe that the QB position is the most important on the team. I do not believe it is a must to have a HOF QB to win games, but you need a steady dependable consistent guy.
I believe that one of the biggest, if not the biggest reason for the Chiefs horrible record over the last two years is the inconsistency at QB.
Not only the inconsistency in the QB playing, but the actual starter from week to week changed as much as any team in the league it seemed.
Talent is only one aspect of production. Then, you have the system, you have the coaching, and you have veteran leadership to help the players grow and learn.
The guys you mentioned will do as much to build this team as anyone. Because they are the examples to show the guys how to do it.
They are the leaders who will hold the younger players accountable.
Their 'imprint' on the development of the young players on this team will be felt for years to come.
I am all for going young. But, when things are as bad as they are for this franchise, you need to start working things in the right direction because losing becomes habitual.
And, there is a reason so many top draft picks at QB fail.... they go to sucka$$ teams with a losing culture and lesser talent.
Cassel will be part of the leadership that rights the ship... NO rookie can do that.... not even Sanchez.
