NFL Draft Is there a franchise QB in next year's draft? - Page 5

I'm think the Chiefs draft Oher from Ole Miss in the first round & then the QB in round two.

It's definitely not foolish. I think you have one pretty/really good QB prospect in Stafford and then it extreme mediocrity after him.

So basically you're scared to draft a QB for fear of ending up with a bust. That sounds familiar.

Listen, no one knows what will happen in April, but right now there are a handful of QBs that have elite, franchise QB potential. All things considered, I'd much rather take the great QB prospect over the great OL prospect. The risk is certainly higher, but so is the reward.

It's peoples fear of being Arizona or Cincy, they'd rather build to be the 90s Chiefs or Jaguars where you make the playoffs every year but lose instead of taking that chance to actually win something.

agreed but we NEED to hit on the right one the first time this team will be wasting its youth waiting for a QB

I'm not sure we can develop any QB with this coaching staff to be honest.

People need to stop basing so much on stats and factor in the things that go into the NFL draft, pure physical talent is every bit if not more important than production to alot of teams.

I wasn't basing it on natural talent, it is his decision making that needs to improve. On one play he threads a needle, and then on the next play he throws into double coverage.

Are you reeruned? What about "I don't have a problem taking a QB high if I really like them" don't you understand?

a) It depends on what your needs are.

b) I already friggin' said I don't see a great QB prospect, which is why I would prefer we take a great OL prospect.

Hey we'll see, but you gotta live the guys toughness, ****s up his knee and doesn't miss any games.

Are you going to tell him guys like Stafford and Bradford aren't top 5 guys they're just being elevated like Matt Ryan?

I remember how everyone hated Ryan.....Ryan won his game yesterday and looked very good for a rookie starting opening weekend.

A 70 yard TD on your first NFL pass will do that for you.

1. I don't see Bradford coming out(and I don't think he's as good a prospect as Stafford as it stands right now anyway).

2. I liked Matt Ryan. If Stafford shows me the things Ryan showed me last year, I'll be comfortable with the pick.

Establishing a QB needs to be the one of the first moves in a rebuild, not one of the last. We needed to do it in 2005, 2006 or 2007 if we were going to build an offense around him. We didn't do that, so what we have to do is go the vet route in 2009. Now, that doesn't mean the Chiefs can't draft a QBotF to groom behind a vet for 2011 or 2012, but there should be enough pieces in place by next year to make this a playoff-calibre team, and they should be a Superbowl contender in 2010, if they have someone who can play behind center (and that means not a rookie or 2nd year player).

As much as I'd like to develop from within (and I would) I just think they're past that point in the rebuild process.

Fair enough, I'm not completely sold on Stafford either to be honest.
