"Clear" based on what?

Thiggy is going to ****ing tear it up next season.

That said, we should draft somebody in case he doesn't.

I agree, just doesnt need to be a top 3 pick. We have other HUGE glaring needs.

Um, QB IS a HUGE glaring need.

[keg in kc]

When he was talking about taking a QB virtually annually, he didn't in any way infer that meant drafting a QB high. He mentioned Pioli finding Brady in the 6th and Cassel in the 7th. I got the impression, in that light, that he was talking about taking a flyer on a mid- to late-round day pick every year, which we've already been doing (well, technically we've been trading for other teams low round draft picks, like Thigpen, Smoker, etc). Hopefully Pioli does a better job at it.

He did, however, state the position is an important one.

As for Thigpen, I doubt Pioli even knows what Pioli thinks about him at this point. Much less has a clue who we're taking at 3.

I feel much more comfortable with Pioli drafting a QB in the later rounds than Carl. I think it's safe to say he's proven that they can be found.

I feel more comfortable with Pioli than Carl doing anything related to the Chiefs.

2 obvious points:

1. Clark gets it - we have to have a QB, and we have to draft QBs to find the right one...doesn't mean we'll take one at #3, but it is a clear change from Carl...

2. Thigpen is not our franchise QB

These are the QBs drafted by Scott at NE (and where they were drafted)

2000 Tom Brady 199
2001 none
2002 Rohan Davey 117
2003 Kliff Kingsbury 201
2004 none
2005 Matt Cassel 230
2006 none
2007 none
2008 Kevin O'Connell 94

I would say that is closer to every other year.

one future HOF and another very solid pick who some expect will be traded to the Chiefs; 2 busts and a TBD.

In 2000 they had bledsoe so instead of HAVING to pick a qb they went with a long shot with brady. From that point on there was no need to pick a qb high but instead went with long shots and got cassell. what it tells me is that even if you have franchise qb you still draft them.

I don't really want Cassel here in KC.

But a guy taken with the 230th pick that steps in for an injured Hall Of Famer and leads the team to 11-5 is a good pick, even if he's a bust for the rest of his career.

One 11-5 season coming off the bench is a fine accomplishment for the 230th pick. Even if he never does anything again.
