what success are we risking here? in your addled brain are the Chiefs currently superbowl contenders?

Nope...

But the success failure ratio of First Round QBs isn't that inspiring, and many teams have won without a QB of their own First Round pick...

I think obsession with QB has gone too far, and where the Chiefs are picking in April, the "top QB" may not be there...

It is better to have failed once with a QB in the first, then it is to have never failed with a QB in the first.

Favre was picked 33rd, which would be considered the 1st pick in the 2nd round now a days.

Brees was picked 32nd, which would be considered the last pick in the 1st round now.

Brady was picked when the Pats already had a QB, picked in the first, starting.

Tom Brady was picked up by the Pats in the 6th round, 199th pick overall - a compensatory pick. They didn't grab him because they were looking for a "QB of the Future" (they were satisfied with Drew Bledsoe as their starter) but more because they couldn't believe that he'd fallen that far in the draft. Brady was a damned good QB at Michigan. For a compensatory pick in the 6th, Brady was an absolute STEAL. Low (virtually NO) risk, high reward.

You really need to stop beating the Brady drum. The guy was a once in history type of pick. It won't be happening again, not with the way players are being scouted.

Just pay attention to the odds. Look at what's been posted in this thread.

Then by all means let's go down the George Allen line of thinking and trade all our draft picks for other team's players.

Lord knows drafting is too much of a risk...

More precisely, QB is a risky position to Draft - high failure rate.

It doesn't mean I am against taking a QB. I don't want "we are taking a QB" written in stone before the Draft...

The success rate of first round QBs is higher than all other rounds combined.
