Otherwise, I'm not sure who you are really pining for with the Chiefs pick.
They aren't moving up for Deshone Kizer because Dorsey isn't going to pay that exhorbitent price that it would take to do so with Smith most likely going to be the starter through the 2019 or 2020 season and having signed Nick Foles this off season and having Bray.
They aren't going to burn a high draft pick on this crop of QB's.
You are going to have to keep your eyes on the 2018 Draft for that position. Maybe even the 2019 class where guys like BYU's Tanner Mangum, Mississippi State's Nick Fitzgerald, or Stanford's Keller Chryst.
However, I wouldn't pin your hopes on the 2017 class of producing a guy who is going to be the Chiefs QBOTF.
Kizer is as close as it gets in terms of fitting the system, but he's going to be long gone and it will cost far too much to go up that far to get him.
So, as that stands, you might as well put in the tools in the system that will allow that guy, when they decide to get that guy, have the tools ready to go to be successful.
They need a real receiver. They need a dynamic force at RB/HB now that it looks like Charles' future is possibly in doubt. They need a couple more offensive linemen. And they most definitely need an additional pass rusher, cornerback and ILB.
I know that it isn't what you want, but the QBOTF isn't happening in the 2017 Draft unless they get extremely lucky ala Tom Brady later in the draft (And there isn't even a late round Brady type of guy in this draft to be honest).
Sorry.

You are correct. Also, there will be no QBOTF. Like, ever.
The Chiefs prefer the "Very Free Agent" of the future, or "VAGENT"
As to what they will actually do, I don't believe that Dorsey is going to draft for need or replacement like he did in the case of Albert. That was just a shitty year to have to draft at all.
