What would your feeling be if Ross did this during his first months as GM:
1) Hire a defensive guy like Perry Fewell to be head coach
2) Decided to switch to a 4-3 defense
3) Decided that no QB was worth a top two pick and elects to draft defense in the first round to improve the pass rush
4) Traded for someone like TJ Yates, Colin Kaepernick, Matt Flynn, or Ryan Mallet and drafted a QB in the 4th round.
5) Let Bowe walk and draft a speedy WR in round 2
How would you evaluate the hire? Let's say DeCosta would do something similar.
Point being, would you be willing to trust any new GM if he passed on taking Geno Smith No 1 overall, or is it Geno or Bust for whoever takes over? Should Clark Hunt insist that the QB be taken (similar to what Stephen Ross and Arthur Blank told their GM's)?

Taking backups from other teams is what the Chiefs have almost always done. That's not a very good endorsement of that strategy.
Draft a QB. It's time. The last GM was supposed to do that. Clark even wanted it. It didn't happen.
If the new GM continues to shit on us, I'll be pissed.
