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 |

FYI, the excuse given for why Kolb couldn't secure the starting spot in Philly was that he got injured. TWICE.
Well guess what? He has the SAME PROBLEM in Arizona. A QB that can't stay healthy cannot be, BY DEFINITION, a franchise QB. So let's throw out Kolb. |

All of this trade back talk is ridiculous.
NOBODY is going to trade up to #1 for a Tackle. Or a Guard. Or a corner. NOBODY. None of those players is a game changer, and you don't trade up to the #1 spot for anything less. A QB is a game changer. If you don't have one, you're screwed. We don't. If Dorsey and Reid like Geno, they'll take him at #1. I hope they do, I hope we can go forward with our very own #1 guy and I hope he becomes the franchise QB we've always wanted. But I don't know. It may be a 2nd rounder. |

I would counter and say that there isn't anyone worth the #1 pick in this draft.
Warmack? You don't take a guard #1 no matter what. I wouldn't even take Will Shields #1. Jones? nope (stenosis?) Joeckel? Maybe ... if you think he is a Jonathan Ogden level type LT Milliner? A cornerback better be able to shit gold to be taken #1 and i heard that Milliner needs surgery. In a draft with no obvious gold star prospects the value of the position takes on more weight. Quarterback is the most valuable position in the NFL. So if you are going to 'reach' for a player at #1 then you reach for a QB. jmo

Yep.
Combined numbers for QB starts under Andy Reid NOT named Donovan McNabb: 38-44 record (.463) 55% completion percentage 112 TD's 94 INT's 70 QBR. And those numbers are inflated due to Vick, who was a #1 overall pick. Last edited by OnTheWarpath15; 02-22-2013 at 11:17 AM.. |
