So lets say we do get the first pick overall, do we go for Andrew Luck (if he is still considered #1)or do we trade the pick or draft someone else?

With Hailey's ego and stubborness about going with Cassel, it's hard to believe he would even pick Andrew Luck. He hasn't even picked up a decent back up QB in case Cassel stinks up half the season. What is it going to take to get this man to see what we are seeing. I wouldn't have mind if Cassel was pulled the last quarter to see if we can get some type of momentum but Hailey is a stubborn man. That's why Weis and Gailey are gone and that's why we never went after McDaniels or any other proven OC. Hailey is still learning to coach and making too many mistakes along the way. Why the hell did we lose Waters and Smith! I don't get it. Detroit will be no walk in the park next week. GO CHIEFS!
Fans know *way* more than GMs...
Luck would struggle with your OL. I'd focus on fixing that first.
Besides, you don't really think the Chiefs are that bad do you? Chiefs won't win the division again, but are far from the worst team in the NFL.
FIRST OF ALL
PEOPLE - It's "I would have" not "I would of"
I would of doesn't make any $*#&% sense.
SECOND OF ALL
The 11 draft is horrible? Really? REALLY?
ONE GAME IN and you're saying it was horrible. I have patiently sat here and watched you post moronic statement after moronic statement. Your venom for the Chiefs is only surpassed by your insipid commentary.
Let me guess, your big problem was that we drafted Baldwin, right? That makes the whole draft horrible?
You do realize that we traded back before getting Baldwin, picking up a third rounder in the exchange, which we used on Allen Bailey, right? No, of course you don't realize that.
While we reached on Baldwin, the first four players we drafted ALL have first round talent. All of them. Hands down. They all had a reason they were drafted later:
1. Baldwin - baggage
2. Hudson - size
3. Houston - weed
4. Bailey - inconsistency
That said, all of these guys could, if they can overcome their personal drawbacks, play every bit as effectively as a first rounder. They all have high, high upside. That's a good draft. We needed more talent.
Let's also not forget Jerrell Powe, who has so far looked like a legit contender for a starting spot at nose tackle down the line.
Kelly Gregg was a good signing.
Brandon Siler got injured. I'm sure you blame Pioli for that.
Breaston was a good signing, and everyone was excited about it. The guy provided a skill set we desperately lacked.
Gaither is a good signing (super cheap for such explosive upside)
Besides, did it ever occur to you that these were not the years to sign free agents? Maybe you should try drafting the talent you need, then fill in holes later? Yeah, we could have signed Atogwe two years ago, but I'd rather have drafted Berry.
By the way, everyone was *****ING when we drafted Kendrick Lewis. "We just drafted Eric Berry!! WTF?!" Well, guess what? Pioli was a genius for making sure we had two young, talented safeties.
Now, do we need more depth? Of course we do. But this team is doing it right - they're drafting it and not buying it. That's how you get depth. No free agent is going to come here to be a backup. You have to draft guys and have them compete.
Sooooo sorry you thought we could turn around a decade of failure in two years, but there is a talent pipeline, and it takes time to do it right. You have to make sure you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, and sadly, sometimes that means not spending $33 million on new bathwater.
