Chiefs draft a QB in the 2023 draft

First, I know that the QB position is in great hands with Patrick Mahomes.

Second, how about taking a flyer on a QB who can run in the later rounds?

This player could be used as a gadget QB who could run QB sneaks, passing plays, etc…Andy is obviously not going to subject Patrick to another QB sneak and the 3rd and shorts are absolutely a weakness on this team.

A poor man’s Justin Fields/Lamar Jackson per se.

3rd and short yardage is still a problem. I still think taking a flyer on a backup QB who could be used as a gadget player would be a great addition to the roster. Henne is not getting any younger.

It’s crazy how this team has issues with 3rd and one.

I don't think Reid will pull Mahomes on 3rd and anything in order to run a gadget play.

I'd like to see them invest in a backup that gives you some confidence.

I really like these guys (my round ratings):

QB Clayton Tune, Houston (6'3" 220) - 4th
QB Max Duggan, TCU (6'2" 210) - 4th
QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson, UCLA (6'1" 205) - 5th
QB Tim DeMorat, Fordham (6'4" 220) - 6th

There are teams in this league that don't have the confidence in their STARTER that this team has in Chad Henne.

It's a backup - he ain't gonna be a guy who steps right in for the best to ever do it.

If Henne wants to come back, we're fine at QB2.

I'm pretty sure it's time to find a competent young backup. Henne is going to be 38 years old. I mean, sure, if it's one more year, I'm not going to bitch much.

There are some good-looking QB prospects in this draft that maybe aren't immediate starter types but they can be quality backup and developmental guys. Investing there isn't a bad thing, especially if they can become a really good backup. Teams will trade for those guys.

I'm wondering if:

- We are feeling good enough about Buechele to take over for Henne (who becomes an Offensive assistant coach)

- Veach goes back to the school for wayward boys and picks up a high-upside / low-risk reconstruction project
