Teicher:Chiefs should have a short list of top draft pick candidates

With the Jets, they brought in Vinny Testeverde. I do not believe they drafted a first round QB. Pennington was a first rounder, but was not drafted until after Pioli had went to the Pats.

With the Pats, as we all know, Brady was a sixth and Cassel was a seventh.

Now, lets look at Haley.

With the Jets, no QB in the first round.

Chicago did draft Rex Grossman in Haley's last year there.... that's one.

In Dallas, they stuck with Drew Bledsoe and then developed an undrafted free agent.

And, in Arizona, with Matt Leinart sitting there waiting to play, Haley went with the grizzled vet that had his best years behind him. Oh, and note that Haley had no part in the drafting of Leinart.

Now, I would love to get the franchise QB. I don't believe Sanchez is the guy. I think Stafford will be gone. I won't bash the pick if the Chiefs go with Sanchez because I know to defer to them.

However, I don't believe that merely because we need a QB, the Chiefs will draft one in the first round.

I believe they will draft a QB nearly every year, just in the later rounds.

That might be the single most flawed logic post I've ever read.

Pioli didn't make the selections in New York and Cleveland, and we all know why he's never taken a QB high in New England - they already had a #1 overall in Bledsoe (who they gave a 10 year, $103M contract AFTER they drafted Brady) and then Brady. No need.

WTF would Haley have to do with draft selections, or for that matter, who the QB is?

That's the HC's call, not the ****ing WR's coach or OC.
