What's the status on Mauga? As much as we like to complain about him being not very athletic, he is much more solid than the backups that had to play last year. [Reply]
I think this year is the best chance we have had to draft a QB high. The Alex situation and the fact that the Chiefs are playoff contenders they are going to have to trade up to get a high pick to get a QB. Dorsey isn't planning on going 2-14 next year. They are nearing the end of the AS era and they know it. So the pressure to get the next QB is there more than ever. I think they are aware that this is the best time since we got AS for two more years. It would be good to get a guy now to learn before he's push out on the field. I think it's likely guys. I feel it. [Reply]

Following this line of thinking though, the window for competing for a championship is small and a R1 QB would have zero affect this season. I'd love for them to go QB in the first, but they will go ILB, DB, or RB. [Reply]

I guess I am just saying that it makes sense from a future standpoint. AS has got two years left contract wise. Trade up and draft a guy now to sit for a year just makes sense with the current roster. The positions you listed are needs but maybe they can fill them in later rounds or FA. Keep the window open and still be competitive after AS is gone. This team is pretty young. We got some aging stars but i think our "window" will be around for some time. [Reply]

Oh I'm with you...I'd love for it to happen. I probably just jaded. [Reply]
I think there is so much buzz around the Chiefs and a QB for several reasons but the main one is that it just makes so much sense. If the Chiefs don't it's because they really just are incompetent or they just really don't like anyone in this draft. [Reply]

We have decades of factual evidence to prove this is actually FACT.... [Reply]

The current regime got AS sure, but he wasn't matt asshole. We can't compare them to the whole existence of the franchise though. Ill be real, I haven't been around for the entire existence of the franchise but AS brought stability to the team. Maybe the plan all along is get Alex get stability, get competitive, then wait for the right time and grab your future guy. [Reply]
Trade with TN for the 18th pick, puts us ahead of Houston & Denver and take the best QB on the board. Let him sit for a season, sell a million jerseys, let him start in 2018, rule the world. [Reply]

Stop doing this to yourselves. Alex will be the starter in 2018. Abandon hope. Focus on other things in your life that are actually worth your energy. [Reply]
