But if you can save a little bit and clear a roster spot for another developmental QB, his contract doesn't make it prohibitive to do so.

Will Chuckie Keaton come out? He's a junior and he blew out his knee this year.

I love that Baylor offense and everything but I don't know about Petty. His play and stats seem to take a slight dip whenever the competition increases. I know... shocking... but I just don't trust him. So many playmakers on that offense. Hell, even Nick Florence hit his stride late last year... and he wasn't a very good QB (that beat out Petty).
Manziel, Bridgewater, and Mariota will likely be gone. Hundley should stay in school and I expect him to. Im not huge on Boyd. I kind of like Murray, but he may be limited. I kind of like Mettenberger, but he's a bit of a project like Bray. But I wouldn't complain about drafting any QB unless it's Logan Thomas. Would love to see Alex, Bray, Rookie going into 2014. |

I refuse to evaluate draft prospects until after the Chiefs are done. I spent too much time doing so the last few years. I just want to enjoy the experience of the Chiefs winning season right now. And Bask in its glow.

And who says Daniel isn't Russ Wilson? He wasn't beating out Brees and he isn't going to beat out Smith, but given the chance...who knows. We certainly don't, and I'm not sure that simply drafting another guy because we don't think he's good enough is complete justification for drafting another dude just to draft another dude because another dude is just going to be another dude. And I think Bray, with proper coaching, has a lot of potential. I'm really not too concerned with the Chiefs QB situation right now. Like I said, if the coaching staff thinks that they can better it down the road because Bray isn't advancing in two seasons or so, that's fine. But right now, in the 2014 draft, by picking another QB, you are just picking a guy who's never going to get a shot at being anything other than the fourth guy on the depth chart at that position. That's just what it is at this point. I think that most of you would be more concerned with fixing the obvious problems, which are WR and OG, both of which could be high level guys, or potentially high level guys, where the Chiefs will most likely pick. A Gabe Jackson or Odell Beckham would do a lot more for this team than a guy who doesn't stand much of a chance in beating out Bray, let alone Daniel and Smith for a roster spot. Like I said, I'm not really thrilled with this QB class. It seems like a whole bunch of average. It's not like there is a Joe Montana or Tom Brady here - who, despite their lower round selections, kicked the shit out of people in college. You aren't seeing that with any of these guys outside of Manziel and a little in Bridgewater, but everytime I watch Teddy, nothing stands out. He's good, but he's not positional epiphany level stuff. |

Reminded me a lot of Kaepernick at the same level, though Colin was obviously a bigger guy. Someone who would offer a different type of QB style than what Bray does. More Smith than Bray, but has a little gunslinger to him as well. I like the guy as a player and a leader on the field. |

There will be some good guards available, but I'm going to renew my opposition to first round guards - sorry to disappoint.
As for WRs, that's where I'd like to see the pick go, but I don't like what I'm seeing in the mocks so far. The WRs that look to hit the 20s all sound a lot like Bowe to me. The others are guys that are probably reaches that high.

Saul and Bitch keep your SEC/Big 12 flame war out of the draft forum.

Hell, even the SEC busts have been pretty decent - see Campbell, Jason Though really, NC State has the best claim to QB U right now - Rivers, Glennon and Wilson (where he played most of his career).

And if it wasn't for Crazy Pete, Russell Wilson would still be on the bench of every other team in the league. It's going to be very, very hard for anybody to beat out Smith as well as Daniel for the #1 and #2 spots on this roster unless it's a guy who has those physical attributes with the mental potential to play in the Reid/Ault/Childress/Peterson west coast/read option system. And they were able to get the guy with the physical aspects in Bray. Like I said, there isn't a guy in the 2014 draft with the physical traits/skill set of Bray. And there isn't a guy with the experience of either Smith or Daniel. Just my two cents, but when you consider all aspects, using a draft pick on a QB in 2014 isn't going to net you much if anything beyond what we have and I don't think that there is anyone who is going to give you even a ceiling to what we currently have on the roster. 2014 should be about shoring up the few obvious holes that remain on the starting lineup/roster. Where we pick, we would be able to address either the WR or OG spot with a high level prospect. Gabe Jackson has perennial All-Pro written all over him and I really like Odell Beckham, especially for this offense, i.e., precise route running, great hands, run after the catch capabilities, etc. |
