QUOTE OF THE DAY
PAGE 9
"Here is my crazy, unbelieveable prediction for the 2012 NFL Draft — Weeden will get drafted as the third QB off the board before Tahannah. My reasoning is simple, actually. Whoever drafts the third QB off the board will be reaching, so why reach for a player unless he can help you right away?"

FACT OF THE DAY
The NFL Draft now runs for three days, with the first round in primetime on Thursday. Friday consists of second- and third-round picks, and Saturday is the fourth- through seventh-round picks.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
THE MORNING BREW
Q. Who is the quarterback that the Chiefs drafted in the 1983 NFL draft instead of Dan Marino and Jim Kelly?
A: Todd Blackledge
NFL Draft might help Chiefs' quarterback problem
— bleacherreport.com
The most wonderful time of the NFL offseason is almost here: the NFL Draft.
Yes, the NFL Draft, where fervent football fans lock into their televisions, tablets and smartphones to find out what the upcoming season's talent will look like.
I still plan a good chunk of the weekend around watching the draft and, for the life of me, I still can't figure out why I love the event so much.
Maybe it's the detailed player evaluation, or maybe it's watching the draft analysts, hoping to one day have their job. Since I no longer even resemble an athlete, maybe I could share part of the screen with Mel Kiper, Jr. and Todd McShay, discussing which Division III wide receiver has a chance to be a late pick in the fourth round because of his upside potential and great hands.
Regardless if that happens or not, I still enjoy the NFI. Draft. But beyond the mock drafts, the Kansas City fan
only cares about one thing: Will the Chiefs actually go out on a limb this year and take a quarterback with the 11th-overall pick?
Across the board, all I hear from Chiefs fans is that the team is a few players away from being a consistent contender.
For the most part, I agree. The Chiefs have a solid defensive core led by Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson and Eric Berry. All three of these players provide an on-field general to dictate coach
Romeo Crennel's defense.
Now back to original problem: the quarterback.
The Chiefs even maintained some offensive players, too. When healthy, Jamaal Charles is a freak out of the backfield with track-like quickness. Despite his off-the-field interactions, Dwayne Bowe has emerged as an elite wide receiver talent who uses his physical prowess and amazing hands to pull down some incredible catches.
I like Matt Cassel. I like Matt Cassel a lot, actually. He's a good ambassador for the Chiefs and is a solid NFL quarterback, who is able to manage a game well. But the Chiefs are not paying Matt Cassel to manage a game. They're paying him to be on the same level as Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees. At this point, I haven't seen that level of achievement from Cassel.
That's why the Chiefs need to put pressure on him this year and draft
either Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill or Brandon Weeden from Oklahoma State. Both quarterbacks were exceptional in the Big 12 this year.
If I were the Chiefs, I would take Weeden with my second-round pick. He's experienced and professional — thanks to his days of baseball-playing — and knows how to deal with a prime-time receiver (i.e. Justin Blackmon).
Both Tannehill or Weeden could give Cassel the necessary push to prove himself.
