Whether it's "reasonable" depends on how much stock you put in being respectable/maybe slipping into the playoffs this season. If you place a lot of stock in those things, maybe it isn't.
Back to this, eh?
Yes, the something I wanted the Chiefs to "try" (Drafting a QB in an early round and attempting to develop that QB into a franchise player) is SO radical and completely unproven. No team in the NFL ever does that. No team in the NFL ever has success with that. It isn't the approach that gives you the best odds of finding a long-term, franchise QB.

Overdrafting is ALWAYS a bad idea.
The fact that you would have rather had Geno Smith in the second or Matt Barkley in the third means that you either DON'T know how to evaluate QB's and were this unable to recognize their flaws, or your just an armchair GM with nothing better to do than complain.
How many second round QB's have won a Super Bowl in the modern era?
How many third round QB's?
