I get a Cutlerian vibe from this guy. Seems to be built like a franchise QB. Powerful arm, some beautiful passes, perfect bodytype. But he is lacking an "it" factor, is he not? He's not a world-beating, overcome-the-odds, particularly spiriting QB. Looks like he could have an okay career in the NFL in which he wins nothing of consequence.
Well if there was one Andy Reid QB in this entire draft, it's Trubisky, isn't it? Super accurate, doesn't take too many risks with the ball, is very mentally tough and very athletic. He's a slam dunk for the Chiefs to trade up for, if he lasts to the 20s, but in a QB-starved NFL with at least 6 new head coaches looking for their QB, there's no chance he lasts to us. [Reply]

They aren't going 12-4 next year and yes they should trade an entire draft for a qb. [Reply]

Yes but it's not like they can't move up to get a QB. This is really a dumb argument to say if they go 10-6 they aren't drafting a QB. Let's call it what it is a few posters on here are impatient. [Reply]

If the QB class is stronger.....then it's going to take more to move up. [Reply]

Whats your point here dude? I and a few others state the obvious theres no clear franchise QB in this draft. Build the roster in this draft use picks next year to trade for a much better QB prospect. Somehow that's seen by the draftubators as making excuses. Now you're using an excuse for not drafting one next year. Which is it? [Reply]

I'm not making any excuses. I'm simply stating that the mantra of "*insert year here* is better" won't get you shit. We're not losing enough games to pick high enough and we won't have the ammo to move up like you're making it sound. [Reply]
This bullshit about "next year" is so fucking stupid. How many high picks are up to their hype? Luck sure hasn't been. Eli and Big Ben won with great teams/coaching.

Their whole front 7 was hurt though. That and another added draft and development of this year, they'll be good. They've got a top 5 coaching staff and front office. [Reply]

Yeah, people keep screaming about the run D, but having 2 D linemen and the entire starting lb corps on IR is a huge part of that. I fully agree we need a new starter to replace DJ and someone next to him as well. To act like those injuries weren't a factor is just being dishonest. [Reply]

I don't imagine well sweep the division win at New England or Dallas plus we play Pittsburgh again. I hope I'm right this team needs to a chance at a good QB and the front office needs to be humbled. [Reply]

Humbled? For what? They've been good, act accordingly.
I doubt they sweep the division, but they'll win tough games. [Reply]

Trade picks to move to the top of the 2nd and take the best QB then. I'd prefer to draft BPA in the first and Mahomes in the 2nd if he's there. [Reply]
