Yes, the need is there but this team needs leaders and studs not more average players that we spent high picks to get. Part of our problem has been passing on great talent to try and fill a whole and then have that player not be productive. This could be the same ol' song and dance if we are not careful.

You want to talk about extremely dangerous and same ol' song and dance.
I will tell you what is extremely dangerous. Not drafting a QB at the top of this draft. If the Chiefs don't draft a top guy and are mediocre at all with whatever veteran or some thing like that. The same ol' song and dance. Arrowhead will become a tax debt hole that will never be forgotten by the taxpayers of that area. Arrowhead will be an empty baron wasteland.

Even if it is a band-aid and doesn't work out the Chiefs FO have put themselves in a corner by their own design. They have no choice even if it turns out to be a "bust". It will save face with the fans.
You want them to do something different. If year 2 the 1st round QB isn't working and you can at all you draft another one. And don't give me this waste of talent BS either.

I agree they need a QB. Shit, they need at least 2 of them. I'm not convinced next years QB class is very good at all. Maybe someone pans out and is an annual pro bowler. I'm not convinced that any of next years QB class is worthy of a #1 or #2 overall pick whether the Chiefs need one (or 2) or not. I want the Chiefs to succeed and if that means the guy isn't there this year then so be it, but to take chances at #1 or #2 is difficult. I want talent that is 100% or as close as anybody can get to 100% with those picks. I don't want Tyson Jackson type picks again. Those kind of risky picks is why we are where we are. What I am saying is if the QBOTF is not there, I am not going to jump off the ship because of it.
You can but I won't.
