Loss To Broncos Secures Top Draft Pick For Chiefs

The Chiefs’ regular season came to a sad and predictable end on Sunday, as the team was absolutely destroyed by the Denver Broncos, 38-3. There was some silver lining to the train wreck - the loss guaranteed that the Chiefs will have the first overall pick in the 2013 NFL draft.

While it is expected that head coach Romeo Crennel will be fired sometime today, the status of General Manager Scott Pioli is still up in the air. Some reports have Pioli being canned, while recent reports are surfacing that the maligned GM will get to keep his job. While we don’t know who will be making the pick in the draft, the Chiefs’ position on top of the board is secure.

After the Chiefs determine who will be making the pick, the team will have to take a long, hard look at the quarterback position. Many feel that the team should finally draft and develop a top-pick quarterback, and the team may very likely grab Matt Barkley with the top pick. If the team does take a QB number one, it is imperative that the team find a good quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator that will help with development.

It is also possible that the Chiefs do not feel like Barkley or Geno Smith are worth the top overall pick, and the team could address the QB position by signing a veteran. Several veteran quarterbacks with starting experience will be available this offseason, and the team could trade for or sign a veteran and try to find a QB later in the draft or in the future. If the Chiefs do go this route, they could draft an impact player on the offensive or defensive line.

This was an extremely difficult year for Chiefs fans, due to both the team’s terrible on-field performance and off-the-field tragedies. Hopefully with the top pick in next year’s draft, Kansas City fans can regain some optimism about the team and its future.

Sports Illustrated's Peter King Picks Chiefs To Win AFC West & Roster Updates

The Chiefs have only one preseason game left, meaning that the team’s regular season opener at home against the Atlanta Falcons is less than two weeks away. There have been several interesting updates regarding the team, from where most pundits expect the team to finish to who has won the backup quarterback position.

Despite being in the midst of another horrible preseason, Sports Illustrated’s Peter King has picked Kansas City to win the AFC West with a 10-6 record. Not only does King thing the Chiefs will make the playoffs, he has the team winning its first round game against the Buffalo Bills (the Bills making the playoffs may be even more of a shock) before falling to the New England Patriots in the divisional round. Kansas City has not won a playoff game since 1994, which means should King’s prediction come true, the team will snap a streak longer than 18 years. King also predicted that Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel will win the NFL’s Coach of the Year award. Chiefs fans shouldn’t start celebrating – King picked Kansas City’s rival, the Denver Broncos, to reach the Superbowl before losing to the Green Bay Packers.

In regards to the players on King’s future division champion, Brady Quinn has officially been named the second string quarterback entering the season. Quinn had been in competition with Ricky Stanzi during camp for the right to be next-in-line after Matt Cassel, and ultimately won out due to his game experience. Quinn never lit the world on fire in Cleveland, but he was rarely surrounded by good offensive talent. Should Matt Cassel find himself on the IR once again this season, Quinn should be able to keep the team competitive.

Kansas City will wrap up its preseason tomorrow night at Lambeau field against the Green Bay Packers. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
