This was the mindset of the franchise and most of the fanbase in Green's last years. Kansas City has a remarkable tendency to always wind up on the ****ed side of the equation when it comes to QB luck in the draft. They never show up when we need them, and we're always on the wrong side or the wrong spot in the draft.
That's why I get nervous about every QB we pass on or get ****ed out of. There will probably be another one next year that we'll miss, too.
I just hope Alex Smith can play forever, because we're going to end up trading for some Elvis Grbac/Matt Cassel mother****er when Smith leaves.

I think everyone feels the day when we need to take someone to prepare for life after Alex Smith is coming, but that would be next offseason or the following offseason. It's not critical now, and I'm not sure 2 years of clipboard time would be better than 1 anyway.
