The chiefs lack two things. a qb and depth. that's it.
you wanna know why? because scott pioli traded for matt cassel, gave him a huge contract, and told the fans that cassel was a qb who can win a championship. he refuses to admit he is wrong. therefore, at the most important position in sports, the chiefs have a guy they only trusted to throw the ball 4 times in the 1st half today. as for depth, we know why we don't have any depth at the qb position. he jettisoned orton because orton was better; he was only marginally better, but that was all the reason scott needed to protect his golden boy/anchor. as for the lack of depth in the secondary - i have no earthly idea why scott has never valued depth in the defensive backfield. but year after year, he has consistently failed to roster talented depth at cb and safety. the d-line is much better against the run than the pass. dorsey, jackson, bailey, powe, poe - none of them are effective pass rushers. other than dorsey, they are all pioli draft picks.
sensing a common theme here dumbass
the chiefs have very good starters across the board. they lack depth, and most importantly a qb. they have a crap ton of cap room to acquire said lack of depth. what they need most importantly, is to remove their head from their ass, fire their joke of a gm/head coach/offensive coordinator and join the rest of the modern nfl by selecting a freaking qb.
tell me again you infantile moron why it would be "mortgaging the future" of a 1-4 team who hasn't led a single game by even a single solitary second to draft an effing qb in the 1st round ?

Nothing you are saying disagrees with my position you idiot. I said long before you the Chiefs have no depth. We can't spend draft picks like ATL did to get a QB right now because he would be deaded by week 3 because of the rest of the holes on the team. The best option for the Chiefs is to tank a season, draft a high round QB from that, and keep their draft picks to spend on the other spots needed on the team. ATL can spend those picks trading up because they don't suck as a team. The Chiefs are not 1 QB away from being good. You openly admit that! That is what mortgaging your means.
like talking to an effing brick. let me break this down.
- this team DOES NOT have lots of holes. it has a lack of depth (excepting o-line and rb).
- depth is easy to acquire through free agency, trades and middle/late round draft picks.
- this team has very strong starting lineups on both O and D except for the QB. the d-line does not rush the passer well because of design. i brought it up because it's the best example of scott not valuing premium picks. scott and romeo want d ends that will take up blockers rather than make plays in the backfield. scott has therefore spent premium picks on average players. he could have gotten the likes of jackson in the 7th rd. you scream and duck under the covers at the idea of trading picks, but he has been wasting them anyway.
- this team has 28 mill in cap room give or take.
still with me? okay.
- when trading up into the top half of the 1st round, a team will need to give up 1st and 2nd rd picks.
- 1st and 2nd round picks are used on starters. on high impact players. not on depth.
- you keep asserting that the chiefs have too many holes, and they need the picks they would be giving up in order to fill those holes
- were dorsey, albert, flowers, DJamer, jackson, berry, baldwin, arenas, mccluster, and poe drafted for depth? of course not. they were drafted to be impact starters. they are the draft picks the chiefs would forfeit by moving up.
- again. the chiefs have good starting lineups on both sides. the single biggest need is an impact qb. period.
- in order for a team to put itself in position to take an impact qb, assuming that they don't have a top 10 pick, they will have to give up some premium picks.
pioli has had 28 mill in cap room to fix the depth issues. he has chosen not to use it. that is why the team lacks depth.
the chiefs lack of depth and their 1st and 2nd rd draft picks in the next couple years are totally unrelated issues.
lost in all the bs that you spewed is one undeniable fact - an elite qb is more important than anything else. and you don't choose not to trade up and pick a qb because you might not feel all that comfortable with your 3rd string nickel back.
there's nothing else to say
