I would say its motivation, but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me because the difference in pay/prestige/opportunity is already there for the taking, and a QB-starved team like the Chiefs would be a natural fit for a #1 pick.
I would say it's a smokescreen, but you don't need smoke when you're the first one out of the gate.
The only plausible explanation is that they just aren't sold on the QB's and intend to go in a different direction.
