Rodgers is the only one that truly stings because the Chiefs flat out passed him over.

Brady doest count, because that was blind luck the way he worked out.

Brees we didnt have a shot at, because we gave up our 1st for Vermeil and Green that year.

Big Ben was drafted before the Chiefs picked.

I know we all slam them for not taking a QB high over the years, but honestly, if you go back and research, there really hasnt been that many 1st Round QB's that became something that we flat out passed on in the past 20 years. Most of the time, the Chiefs drafted too low in the round after the best ones were selected. Thats the true curse of mediocrity (6-10 wins a year)
