The experience the kids will get in 2017 leading up to the 2018 draft will be invaluable. The 2018 class will be deeper overall because they will have garnered more overall experience as starters. You cannot say that about Trubisky, Kizer or Webb.
The point is the Chiefs will get a qb this year or next. What will detrrmine that is who they see as a fit and the prohibitive costs associated with that.

Until that happens it means nothing. People are pimping these guys
right now as if they will automatically be awesome. They could just as easily go the way of Matt Barkley. Hell Brad Kaaya was talked about as a potential top QB this time last year.
The QB's this year aren't ready and that's fine. Nobody wants them to play the first year and that's what makes it a great draft for the Chiefs.
You're leaving out the part about the QB we would draft getting elite professional coaching for an entire year from one of the best QB coaches in the league.
Take out Darnold and Browning and
right now you have the same thing as this years crop: prospects with tools to succeed that need to be developed.
