Same thing as Geno... every single team passed on him in the 1st round. There are a lot of terrible front office people, but I don't think it's 100%. It's obvious there were red flags that scared teams away from almost all these QBs. I'm not sure this is even a debatable point. It's what happened.
In Bray's case... he obviously had some headcase issues and didn't always work hard... he admitted as much to Gruden. More importantly, he was terribly, terribly inconsistent in college. One day he could look like a 1st round pick, another day he could look worse than Tyler Palko. He didn't show any improvement through college. His 2nd to last game against Vanderbilt, he got benched because he was absolutely horrible. Finished 11-29 for about 100 yards. That's terrible. He also threw for 350+ and lit up South Carolina's defense a few weeks before. He's not exactly a typical prospect... he's basically a huge raw arm. I do think he is working with the best coaching staff he's ever worked with... but I don't think he should see the field this year.

Yep, meanwhile I'm going to enjoy this warm sensation caused by the knowledge the Chiefs finally have a legit QB talent in the pipeline. Last time I saw a young backup with this kind of arm developing for the Chiefs was in 1980 with Bill Kenney under Marv Levy.
