Lastly, and this never gets old (actually, it’s old. Really old) but the Chiefs have not drafted a quarterback since Todd Blackledge in 1983 with a first round pick. Also, our beloved Chiefs have not used a second round pick on the quarterback position since Matt Blundin in 1992.

That’s right, it’s been 25 years, quarter of a century, since the Chiefs used a second round pick (or higher) on a quarterback. Why in the world would they use a pick on a quarterback now? Why do we want them to? Much like the Cubs winning the World Series, sometimes it’s more fun not achieve or accomplish your desired goal. What do Cubs fans have now? Oh, they won a championship…never mind.

Yes, the quarterback position should be the top priority in the draft for the Chiefs in the upcoming selection meeting. If it will be or not remains to be seen. Needless to say, the next couple months will be interesting.
