No elite in this draft.

There may be teams that have the luxury of holding off on using a high pick to draft a QB this year in hopes of there being a better QB draft class in the future.

KC is not one of those teams.

And that's just insane thinking. That's like folding with pocket 9s in Texas Hold'em when the entire table has checked before the flop. Smith, Barkley, and Wilson collectively form a very strong class of QBs. In terms of prospects, that is; we have no idea how this class or other classes will fare in the end. But right now I'd rank 2013's better than anything to come out in the last 10 years except for 2012's (Luck, RGIII) and 2004's (Manning, Rivers, Roethlisberger).

If teams want a stronger class than THAT, they're thinking like the Chiefs. And that's not a good way to think.

It isn't insane if a team isn't desperate and if their personnel people don't assess any QB in this year's draft as worth their highest pick.

What would be insane is for KC not to finally dive in and take a chance. Your overzealous hyperbole related to the ranking of this year's draft class notwithstanding, KC has nothing to lose and everything to gain by dropping their #1 on a QB.

Every team's in that position who does not have a franchise QB, gigglebutt. It's why it's so important that KC gets the #1 overall pick. If we didn't and a team like Carolina got it instead, you can bet your ass that other teams like the Jets are going to ignore Manti Te'o or Jarvis Jones. They're going to be thinking QB this year. And they would absolutely trade up to that #1 spot and nudge us out.

Are you really telling me that there are plenty of QB draft classes better than 2013's? I named you a whopping TWO. Give me as many as you can think of. Then tell me the odds that those teams that are "rationally" passing on a QB this year will be rewarded in future drafts when they are in the right position at the right time to take a QB in this ordinary QB class that's sooo much better than 2013's.

I don't know. Neither do you. I'll tell you in a few years.
