I'm basing this solely on our stinking franchise DNA. If true to form, the odds of DRAFTING a QB that has a decent chance to evolve into being The Guy are virtually zero. So, we're left to figure out what veteran guy will be available as a replacement for Smith.
Yeah, I know this sucks, but the facts of the matter are that the Chiefs simply do not expend high draft picks on QBs......at least not for the past 34 stinking years.
Ergo, the question isn't about drafting Mahomes, Watson, Webb, Trubisky, etc., the question is whether we go after a vet QB like Cousins, Kaepernick, etc. (I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.)
Man, when you look at it from this angle, the prospects of finding a vet QB who could take us to the Promised Land appear staggeringly horrible.
One only hopes that somehow, someway, we are able to shed our heritage and try a "new" approach in addressing our QB position...can you say "Expend a high draft choice for an untried, unproven but oh so exciting QB prospect."
Hope springs eternal......

i'm way late here, but i disagree with the "this franchise never drafts qb early" past equating to "dorsey will find us yet another veteran qb". I dont see that as dorsey's MO, at least not standard operating procedure. trading for smith at the beginning of his tenure (and Reid obviously) was a necessity, not preferred.
my opinion only, but he's far more in the GB mold of draft and develop as 1st option. these next couple years are the appropriate timing to get a true development project. i say that fully expecting alex smith is our starter this year, and most likely next year too.
