I see a loooooot of question marks here. A bunch of guys who would be 3rd or 4th rounders in THIS draft class if they declared this year. A bunch of these dudes are so young they might not even declare for the draft. And finally, we got a bunch of spread QBs who.... [gasp!]... need time to acclimate to an NFL pro style offense and develop the footwork and timing of taking snaps under center.
I see Sam Darnold. That's great. There's your #1 overall. IF HE FUCKING DECLARES, THAT IS. I see Josh Rosen, who looked good in 2015 but could wind up as another Christian Hackenburg who never puts it all together. And I see a bunch of dried cum with question marks, JUST LIKE THIS QB DRAFT CLASS.
Here's how Walter Football has them ranked:
1. Sam Darnold, USC
2. Josh Rosen, UCLA
3. Luke Falk, Washington State
4. Josh Allen, Wyoming
5. Jarrett Stidham, Auburn
6. Nick Fitzgerald, Mississippi State
7. Chase Litton, Marshall
8. Riley Ferguson, Memphis
COULD this be an awesome and deep draft class for QBs? Yes, absoutely. No question about it. But guess what. There's an equal chance that this QB class flames out and looks just as bad as the 2013 class, particularly if Sam Darnold doesn't declare.
People who bitch about the 2017 class don't fucking get it. They think if there's no true top end QB, that means they all suck. What do the Chiefs fucking care about the quality of the top guys in a given QB draft class? We're not going to be in a position to draft them!
Again, let me say this slowly, so the retards and assholes can hear me:
In ANY GIVEN DRAFT CLASS, the top QB prospects with the best resumes and attributes are irrelevant to the QB draft needs of the Chiefs. The Chiefs have zero shot at picking any of them. The worst teams with the biggest QB needs will draft all of these players before Dorsey can even begin to pick up the goddamn phone to call and move up.
Tell me what we gain from NOT drafting a QB in 2017 so we can draft Josh Allen, Jarrett Stidham, or Chase fucking Litton in 2018, a FULL YEAR LONGER where Alex Smith is the only fucking thing we have at QB. [Reply]

Actually just based on the history of air raid QBs and goddamn Red Raiders in the NFL, I think I can say we should fucking pass. [Reply]

To be fair, Prescott landed in a great situation with that Oline and Elliot. Not to take away from his talent as he displayed veteran-like decision making and command of the offense. But his surrounding cast definitely made his college-to-pro transition easier than Wentz and especially Goff. [Reply]

Based on the history of Tedford QBs and Cal, the Pack should never have selected Aaron Rodgers. [Reply]

All you've sacrificed is a player we aren't in desperate need of in 2017.
What do you have to lose? Just get in position for the best QB class in years. You have nothing to lose. And everything to gain.
You're sacrificing the potential for a stud in this deep draft class so you can get picks next year and pay an arm and a leg for a prospect that might not even be that much better than a guy we could just take right now in 2017? [Reply]

USC, Washington State and Wyoming have never had a QB worth a shit in the NFL.
Guess we should pass on the 2018 QB class! [Reply]

What do you think the chiefs should do about the qb position?
Its apparent that Alex Smith isn't the future. How and when do we pull the trigger on a new one?
I for one think there are a couple worthy successors in this draft, be it day one guys or day two.
