Chiefs Chiefs edging closer to another No. 1 overall draft pick - Page 4

It doesn't take a genius to realize this season is quickly getting away from the Kansas City Chiefs, who have lost four straight games and at 1-4 are on the bottom of the AFC West.

It does take people of above average intelligence to figure out their chances for getting the No. 1 overall pick in next year's draft. Fortunately, the fine folks at ESPN Analytics fit into that category.

They've crunched the numbers on what remains of the season for the Chiefs and the rest of the NFL teams and determined Kansas City will likely have the 12th pick in the draft.

For those who aren't happy with that number, take hope. The Chiefs were projected to have the 15th pick, according to ESPN Analytics, before last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. So there's plenty of time for them to continue to slide.

The Chiefs have a 2.2 percent chance to get the No. 1 overall pick, a 17 percent chance to pick in the top five and a 43 percent chance of selecting in the top 10.

As of now, the Chiefs would pick somewhere in the top seven. They are one of six teams with a 1-4 record. The only team that's worse is the 0-5 Detroit Lions.

The Lions would have the No. 1 overall pick as of now. But the Chiefs play against the Lions on Nov. 1 in London, so a (well-timed?) loss for the Chiefs that day can do wonders for their draft status.

ESPN Analytics, by the way, gives the Chiefs a 41 percent chance of winning Sunday's game against the Vikings in Minneapolis.

If this team drafts early and if they draft a QB, chances are he probably fail.

This shouldn't deter the Chiefs from trying again, and again, and again.

That is what I fear; The Chiefs finally draft a high QB, he fails, and the franchise gives up on it for another 30.

Its the only option that makes any sense.

So it isn't gonna happen.

As much as I want Murray to start it won't happen. Golden boy Alex will continue to flounder. Keep sucking ass Alex.

Chances our the QB we draft will bust even higher if we don't fire Reid since he will have a coaching staff change over in a year or two

This is a good article about what a QB drought we have been in lately

http://www.sportsonearth.com/article...marcus-mariota

Even the 2012 NFL Draft is starting to look overrated

Andrew Luck Has regressed
Robert Griffin III is pretty much done
Ryan Tannehill got Phillbin fired
Brandon Weeden got benched for Matt cassel
Russell Wilson is on one of the worst offenses ever in Seattle
Nick Foles just had a terrible game and was traded
Kirk Cousins cost the Skins a game in overtime

Not one superstar this year among them.

Even if Cook/Goff suck I really wont care if we Draft a QB said player will have a year or two of a free pass just because Smith has been bad on a biblical proportion.

I just want to be able to watch a first round QB we draft. See him progress through preseason and year one to year two and three. At least something to watch since we'll never win anything meaningful.

**The Franchise** · 10-14-2015, 02:23 PM

Russell Wilson is not playing great football right now because of that stupid Jimmy Graham trade.

Exactly.

Tell the true-fan homers and Clark that.

We really haven't even drafted a lot of OL in the first round to be honest.

Would be nice to say after a loss that our QB is growing and believe it for once

Luck and Wilson will be just fine. Cousins and Foles will average QBs, and Tannehill will be Derek Anderson.

Not a bad QB draft at all.
