No elite in this draft.

Everybody chant with me, " TE'O, TE'O, TE'O!"

Manti T'eo is no Aaron Curry

Mike Peterson would have been perfect in a Crennel defense, given what he could do with pickles...

Curry wishes he could be like Te'o. Te'o is a dark horse for the Heisman. Te'o is the new Ray Lewis, Andy Katzenmoyer, Bobby Carpenter and Lawerence Taylor all rolled into one

Yep, and we need leaders on both sides of the ball. If we could get Te'o and a QB in the first, that would be ideal imo.

Well I wouldn't be on board with this because I don't think KC needs to settle for 2nd fiddle at QB but I'll entertain this thought process and tell you the problem I have with it.

It all depends on how the Chiefs have the QBs ranked. If you feel that late 1st round QB is just as good as the very first or second guy picked, IMO that's a stretch, and you can somehow guarantee that you get that QB you wanted, then fine.

But if one of those things doesn't come through, then you don't chance QB based on a ILB. You just don't do that.

Think about how Cincy wound up with Green and Dalton...

That's a pretty rare occurrance but, we could definately move back into the first round imo. That's what I am talking about.

Dalton is certainly the exception and not the rule. This chart proves as much.

Time to do something different from what we've always done.

I don't think there is a sure fire QB prospect, but we HAVE to roll the dice on someone. I would like to personally slap the **** out of everyone that preferred going 7-9 over sucking for Luck or RGIII

I hate this fanbase sometimes.

I say bullshit. You take Smith or Barkley #1 and start them day one. If, by the end of the season, you're not seeing signs of plus QB play then you do it again next year. Repeat forever until you get your guy.

The rest of the team, literally, can be built/rebuilt in rounds 2-7 and FA. I no longer believe in the late round developmental QB as a viable plan.

Geno looks like the most physical upside, Barkley looks like a good fit if you're going to a WC style offense. I'm fine with either. Just do it.

I wish you ran the draft. I don't understand why Pioli can't execute this plan.
