Chiefs won’t draft a quarterback in early rounds

So fans want the Chiefs to draft a quarterback early, like the first round.

Fans are up in arms over their latest playoff failure that saw a better quarterback (let us not pass over the better running game) emerge victorious from the cold playoff grass at Arrowhead.  Some fans are so tired of their current status quo quarterback they are ready for ANYONE not named Smith to play quarterback. My response to all of you simply is this….not gonna happen.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been yelling and screaming for the Chiefs to invest in the quarterback position for years. Especially since this new regime took over and in 2014 when Derek Carr and Teddy Bridgewater were on the board and the Chiefs selected….Dee Ford. Sad face. Generally, if you want to win in this league, you have to be willing to over invest at the quarterback position. Simple as that. That being said, I don’t believe the Chiefs are going to do what the public is clamoring for, and they will leave the quarterback position untouched.

First, and this really is the most logical reason from a management stand point, but this team has true, immediate needs, such as middle linebacker, guard and possibly safety, along with depth concerns along the defensive line, wide receiver, running back, safety, and yes, quarterback. If you are a front office that has thrived on not being crazy, going for quantity to find quality, the odds of a quarterback falling to you are slim, and even more slim are the odds the quarterback on the board is a thrower you like.

Secondly, and this ties into the previous segment, the Chiefs would likely have to move up to land a quarterback, and well, this organization as a whole has not moved up in the first round since 2008 when the Chiefs sent a fifth round pick to the Detroit Lions to move up two spots to land offensive lineman Brandon Albert.
