Poilian says no QB worthy of #1. Chiefs can find one later
![]() Former Colts GM Polian says Chiefs can find a QB in the draft — In Bill Polian’s long career as an NFL general manager, his team had the number-one pick in the draft just once. That was in 1998, when he was with Indianapolis, and the Colts that year selected a quarterback, Peyton Manning. That worked out well for Polian and the Colts. But Polian said he doesn’t think the Chiefs should draft a quarterback with this year’s first pick, even though they would like an upgrade over Matt Cassel. Like many assessing this year’s draft, Polian said there’s not a quarterback worthy of being the number-one selection. “Just because there’s not a quarterback that everybody now doesn’t think is worth the number-one pick doesn’t mean you can’t get a quarterback,” Polian said. “Nobody thought Russell Wilson was worth a third-round pick except a couple of us. He turned out to be a pretty good quarterback. “You always go for the best player. It’s foolish to go for need and (Chiefs coach Andy Reid) won’t do that.” While Reid coached in Philadelphia, the Eagles at least a couple of times found quarterbacks after the first round who eventually became starters, including Kevin Kolb and Nick Foles. “Nobody develops quarterbacks better than Andy Reid,” Polian said. “So rest assured, you’ve got the right guy. Whatever decision he makes will be the right one. He’ll find a quarterback. It doesn’t need to be the first guy in the draft.” Other than to stay away from quarterbacks, Polian had no advice for the Chiefs with the first pick. “Ask Andy,” he said. “They know their personnel far better than I do and they know what they need.” http://www.kansascity.com/2013/02/21...-colts-gm.html |

It isn't AT ALL like Alex Smith/Kaepernick. Kolb has literally NOTHING to offer next to Colin Kaepernick. Dumb, dumb, dumb. |

If we, the Chiefs, who have a gaping ****ing hole at QB, don't want to draft a QB at #1, NOBODY is going to trade with us. Our pick is not tradeable. For real. |

It was no secret that Russell Wilson was getting a 3rd round grade due to his height. Hell some people thought Foles would be taken before him because of that issue. Teams will know what round each player, especially a QB, will be slotted in on draft day. Pretty clear that Schneider zoned in on the kid and knew his height would keep him out of the first 2 rounds. Teams will know EVERYTHING about a QB if they need one. E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

Just posted in another thread. Albert's back worse than initially thought after camp leaks said he passed his physical. As much as it would suck it may be the LT if this is true.

So explain to me how this works.
The Chiefs identify the best QB, and then expect he'll be there when they're picking in the 2nd (or even 3rd?) round? They're just going to sit there and laugh at the other teams picking other QBs ahead of them? Or is it they're willing to settle for a not-the-best QB simply because the best one isn't worth No. 1 overall? |

I have no doubt when this shakes out, there will be at least 2 new Quarterbacks on this team, better than anything we saw on the field last year. |

Reid said Albert had a serious back INJURY. Singular. There's absolutely no evidence that he has chronic, ongoing ISSUES with his back. ![]() |
