Bullshit. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
The Chiefs could have taken Sanchez in 2009. They didn't.
They could have taken Jimmy Clausen in 2010. They didn't.
They could have taken Kaepernick in 2011. They didn't.
They could have taken Russell Wilson in 2012. They didn't.
Two of those scenarios wouldn't likely done much for the Chiefs. The other two, Kap & Wilson would have most likely seen the return of Todd Haley and Scott *****, if not Scott ***** and Romeo Crennel.
And guess what? None of those choices would have required moving up or down. Who would you rather have, Jonathan Baldwin or Colin Kaepernick? Donald Stephenson or Russell Wilson?
This year, there is no QB at #1 overall worthy of that selection.

So, the Chiefs should just say "**** It" and take a guy that can't throw until March 27 at #1 overall? Or a guy they clearly don't like in Geno Smith at #1 overall?

What makes you believe that Dorsey and Reid aren't under pressure? Didn't this team just have six Pro Bowlers but a 2-14 record? Didn't this team just lash out at an individual in TW, who appeared on the local news for a WEEK discussing his issues with the Chiefs? Didn't the fans organize and rally for the firing of ***** and Crennel?
I'd argue that the Chiefs have never faced this kind of pressure before in the history of the franchise.
