If you’re going to draft for one (usually the best way to get one), you pick the best one available at the time of your first pick. Here are a few names of 1st round QBs that weren’t taken in the top 10: Rodgers, Flacco, Roethlisberger, and Cutler. You can’t wait until some other juncture to address the problem just because you weren’t picking first overall.

As for Flacco, I hear this slander of him all the time. The Ravens have had that same defense forever. If that defense is good enough to go deep in the playoffs without a good QB, why weren’t they getting in every year before Flacco was there?

Cassel could have won those games with that Defense. I think Cassel is equal in skill to both those players.
I would rank both ahead of Cassel but they would all be within 5 rankings of each other.

The Chiefs were a blocked FG away from the playoffs this year. Crennel mentioned getting some competition for Cassel this year. I believe we have two opportunities to improve at QB, one is to go after Peyton Manning and the other is to re-sign Orton. There just aren’t any other options out there. Manning would be a questionable pickup, because his health is unknown, I don’t believe we will even consider this option. Orton, would be just a slight improvement over Cassel. I think Crennel likes Orton and this may happen. Orton would be within 5 rankings of those mentioned above too. His career stats are nearly identical to Cassels.

Every year at this time, Chiefs fans complain about getting a great QB and my question to them is “WHERE” do you find a HOF or great QB at? We aren’t in position in the draft to get either of the top two guys this year. Brady, Brees, Rapistburger, E. Manning are all taken
