Do the Chiefs go QB?

A better way to get leverage on Condon would be to draft the damn QB.

Nothing says, "Go **** yourself" more than self-sufficiency.

If you draft one you no longer need leverage. Using your 1st on a QB would all but sign Alex's 2015 walking papers, imo. It would be stupid to draft one and then sign Smith to a ****ing 15m/yr contract when you've got guys like Houston and Berry to deal with.

What if we draft Aaron Murray in the 3rd? I think then it's a bit of a different story.

I'd still dump Smith. Aaron Murray needs a year to heal, not so much to learn the game.

I would keep Smith around for a couple years if they went for a guy like Boyd or Thomas.

I'd rather draft Murray, sign Smith to a cheapish extension (assuming Condon ****ing cooperates) and then trade the one you have the least amount of confidence in after the 2nd year.
