They were dominant in the '90's but it didn't really lead to anything of great magnitude other than a bunch of playoff appearances.
So to many, the expectation is that the Chiefs MUST draft a QB at #1. They have the pick of the litter, so it's the organizations responsibility to find the best and pick him.
If this is the once in a blue moon year that no franchise QB is in this draft, then most say they don't care (I'm sure they'll bitch about it 5 years from now though). It's better than signing for or trading for a retread QB.

I'd also add that the reason the 49ers were ABLE to bypass the QB position early on to take Aldon and then wait till round 2 on a QB was that they had Alex Smith on the roster.
