Should We Draft a QB Next Year?

[20yardline]

With the talent we have at wide receiver in Dwayne Bowe and at tight end with Gonzo, should the Chiefs draft a QB early in the first round next season?

If so, who are the top college prospects that might fit our offense? In my opinion, Croyle is not the long term answer. Thoughts?

Obviously, we need to draft a QB, I'm just not so sure who. Quite a few good ones out there, but it's hard to tell who would fit in with our offense. Stafford is my choice because he's already dealing with a bad O-line, so he'd know what to expect! He has a cannon for an arm, as well.

I'm thinking "Why waste a draft choice on a QB when we know the youth will still be in toddler stage next season." Build up the defense and O-line first.

Forget Croyle, I think Thigpen has possibilities. Since the 3 stooges(Clark, Carl, Hermie) are content to for this to be a practice season let's let next season be a practice season for the kids to get better.

Plain and simple, we can't have it all next year. We have to decide if a QB is important or if focusing on other areas is more important.The run defense needs alot of improvement. In my opinion I say focus on going into a game and producing results. There's talent there, just needs tightening up.

I say we need to draft defense and possibly a kicker that can kick a 3-pointer from farther away than the 30-47 yard line. In fact, the chiefs need someone out there that is going to high school and colleges keeping an eye on kickers. Remember Denver's kicker? He is a great kicker, such distance.

I'm sure that you are right about the talent, but its like they don't care. Maybe they weren't meant to be NFL players because NFL is very demanding. Not all have the spirit and knack.

I think part of them not caring has to do with the fact that they are new. They are diggin the pay check, the popularity. The priority isn't football to them. I think that's the problem. They are rookies. They haven't played enough to understand that maybe. That was going out on a limb, but it sounds plausible.

Good point. Games are won in the trenches, and the demise of the team is related to great offensive lineman who have retired.

I would especially agree with you if there isn't a real Franchise QB available. That term gets thrown around too much.

Julie and Angler,

I'm sorry, but we can NOT let that position go by again; we don't have anyone left. Huard(now injured), Thigpen(erratic at best), and Martin aren't even close to being "The Answer".

As it looks today, we will have a fistful of cards to play with in New York.
First-round pick is a QB, or just don't even bother showing up.
Get a QB, then start picking linemen, linebackers, and one more Tight End.

I promise you will be AMAZED at what our Tight Ends and Receiver Corps( as they stand RIGHT NOW )can and will accomplish with a great QB who has PROTECTION.

I could care less about a QB, if we don't put the o-line as the top priority. The QB will just be another slab without protection.

But we can just continue the Herm Edwrads approach to O-line assembly, and shove whatever garbage we can scrape-off of the waiver wires and continue our musical QB game with some big name rookie to throw to the wolves.

Give me the O-line, and we will produce a QB and a HB.

As I stated before, we'll have TONS of options come draft day.
PLENTY to go around. Get the QB, and well STILL be above everyone else.
Yep; our play right now is THAT bad.
We'll be holding every card in the deck.

QB is the most important position on the field, and we have crap at that position.

Matt Stafford will be considered a better prospect going into next year's draft than Matt Ryan was in the last draft.

He plays on a Georgia team that has a bad O-Line, and receivers that can't get separation.

He makes throws into tight windows, moves well in and out of the pocket, has the measurables that you want, and is a leader.

He almost singlehandedly is responsible for Georgia's top ten ranking.

If we have a shot at him, you don't pass on him.
