The "IF no QB with the 1st pick" poll
Scenario (hypothetical):
It has become obvious that the Chiefs will pass on a QB with the top pick and will address the QB need (a) later in round 1, (b) in round 2, or (c) by signing a veteran. No trade down is planned either. There seems to be the following three names on top of the draft. Among these three which one would you want the Chiefs to use their 1st pick on: 1- LT Luke Joekel (meaning Albert will walk) 2- DE Star Lotulelei (meaning T-Jax will be cut) 3- Jarvis Jones (meaning we are thinking transition to 43 soon) 4- Other (name and explain) KEEP IN MIND This is not a Geno Smith, Tyler Wilson discussion. Keep that argument in the hundreds of other threads about it. This is about IF WE DON'T PICK A QB AT THE TOP! Just curious to know which of the picks mentioned makes more sense compared to the others IYO. If you are a staunch Geno fan, for example, this does not paint you as a traitor to the cause. |

Why exactly would drafting Jarvis Jones mean that we are transitioning to a 4-3? He's a 3-4 OLB.

It really doesn't as the only possibility. I just didn't have room to mention others like a pass rushing rotation ala Giants (though in a 34), and grooming a young guy to take over for Tamba eventually.

There is no other pick. There is no need on this team greater than our need at quarterback. Don't buy the talk the windowlickers throw out about how no QB is worth the top pick this year. If a QB is good enough to be picked anywhere in the top 20, then for this team, he's good enough to be picked first overall.

It used to be in the last 20 years that only three positions justified a #1 pick: QB, LT, or pass rusher. The NFL has evolved and the positional value of a QB is now far greater than it was when "conventional wisdom" came up with the foregoing. QB is success-determinative. There is no other position on the field that will dictate success. You can win by using an average LT easier than winning with an average QB. It has to be a QB for a team whose most desperate need is QB. It is too bad that there is no consensus QB superstar in this draft, but the choices are good enough to justify taking the QB #1. |

FYI,
I myself have picked Lotulelei in that scenario. Just think there's a better chance of keeping Albert than keeping T-Jax. |

This is what is wrong with this fan base. Ignore the most important position on the field just to throw another ****ing defensive tackle from a high pick into the mix. This is how we've become programmed over the years. I sincerely hope you're trolling, Frankie. |
