What if Chiefs don’t draft a quarterback?

It is mock draft central at this time of the year. Every expert and his dog is having a putrid attempt at trying to predict what may or may not happen with the 2016 NFL draft, and there will be plenty more before draft day. Whatever you may want to happen or not, ultimately, it comes down to the general manager of the franchise that determines what will be and sometimes they disagree with what the experts may decree.

This led me to question the possibility of the Kansas City Chiefs not drafting a quarterback and the possible ramifications of such a decision. First and foremost, John Dorsey and Andy Reid clearly like Aaron Murray and Tyler Bray. They were willing to let Chase Daniel leave, although he was in search of a starting job and held a significant number against the cap number, and gave Bray a new contract while he was still injured.

Clearly Dorsey sees something in these young guys. Bray has a rocket arm, can make all the throws in the book, and has good size for the position. Murray, on the other hand, is smaller standing quarterback but has much better mobility than Bray, and while he struggles on deeper throws, he is much better mentally than Bray, makes less errors and is more proficient out the pocket.

The issue with these two guys is all these attributes to their games have been noticed on a small amount of plays at the NFL level, or at college level where talent does not necessarily transpire to success. Therefore, from an outside perspective, we do really not have a good grasp of how good or bad Murray and Bray truly are. But with Dorsey’s continued backing of the two youngsters, it is clear to see that they must be showing some potential in training.

This leads me to ask the question, would it be terrible if the Chiefs decided against taking a quarterback in this draft?
