CMU QB Dan LeFevour says he has had in-depth talks w/ Chiefs

[NIUhuskies]

I like this kid, hes big, athletic and a helluva player. wouldnt mind grabbing him if he is there in the 4th or 5th round...

[salame]

LeFevour is the guy I want us to take as a project but I don't think he will be there we want to pick a project.
Plus I think Haley loves Brodie

I assume this is sarcasm. The kid has rushed for over 2000 yards in 3 years at the qb position.

QB Round

B R'Burger 1
E Manning 1
P Manning 1
T Brady 6
B Johnson 9
T Dilfer 1
K Warner n/a
J Elway 1
B Favre 2
T Aikman 1?
S Young 1?
M Rypien 6
J Hostetler 3
J Montana 3
D Williams 1
P Simms 1
J McMahon 1
J Plunkett 1
J Theismann 4
T Bradshaw 1
R Staubach 10
K Stabler 2
B Griese 1
J Unitas 9
L Dawson 1
J Namath 1
B Starr 17

1: 15 Everything else : 11

So the first round has produced almost 40% more SB winning QBs than all the other rounds put together. I'd say the odds of striking gold in round 6 are fairly slim.

Ah, I don't think that means much. It's almost like some high school kid running a 5 flat forty and rushing for over 1000 yards in HS ball from the QB position. That ain't going to work at a college program.

Looks and sounds a little like Trent Green.

Hey, I'll be the first to admit I watch vanishingly little college football anymore, but I really like what I see in those highlights. Big, mobile, decent arm, sounds intelligent in the interview...

I bet Tim Tebow wishes he was Dan LeFevour...

You wanna have the best chance to win a Super Bowl victory?

Draft a QB in the first round.

PERIOD.

You may not agree with his opinon, but is it really necessary to be such a colossal dick about it?

Yes, for Dane it is. All others who do not agree with him are immediately flogged and degraded. It's how he rolls.

[Braincase]

His last name is pronounced "Le-FARV".

Cool.

I think the Chiefs would be wise to hedge their bets at QB and keep drafting them in hopes maybe they get lucky since we really have no idea what Cassel will end up being.

This.

I haven't been on this site that long. However, one thing I have learned is that Dane is deprived of attention...similar to that of the the middle child of 3. He most likely wears black lipstick to match his jet-black hair and charcoal eyeshadow...

Drafting a QB in the first round is high reward, but it's also high risk. Chris Meck gave us a taste of the busts that came from drafting first round QBs. Other busts include JaMarcus Russell, Matt Leinart, JP Losman, Kyle Boller, Rex Grossman, Patrick Ramsey, Tim Couch, Akili Smith, and on and on. When you miss on a 4th rounder, it's no big deal, when you draft JaMarcus Russell, you've married your franchise to a lodestone that's going to drag you down for years.

I'm all for drafting a 1st round QB if you're in a position to do it, you have a reasonable need and you're fairly confident he's the guy. But we've already got a QB who our braintrust seems to think has potential and it's not clear to me that there's a Ben Rothlisberger in this draft, much less a Peyton Manning. Under those circumstances, I think you pass on a 1st round QB, but take a flyer on a later round guy to keep a pipeline of fresh prospects flowing through your franchise so you have a shot at finding the next Montana, Theisman, Brady, Hasselbeck, Gannon, or Warner. When you lose confidence in your main guy (i.e. Cassel), then think about drafting a QB in the first or trading for a guy you like from some other roster.

It's Dane's little schtick. It's kinda weird, but you get used to it and then overlook/ignore it.

Very true IMO also. The problem is the solid argument back at that idea is that we need every pick possible to go towards the crap-load of other needs we have. If it is done, it has to be a risk of taking somebody low because you certainly can't waste things like 2nds and 3rds right now. Matty is here to stay for awhile, so no way they shoot up a high pick. bad situation in most ways.
