No Clear Choice If Chiefs Want To Draft A Quarterback from KC Star

The Chiefs spent the last several days setting their draft board in preparation for this week's NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. The process merely confirmed for new general manager John Dorsey that when it comes to quarterbacks, their homework is only starting.

Opinions on the top available quarterbacks in this year's draft are that varied.

"There is no quarterback where personnel guys can definitely say, ‘He's a first-round pick,' " Dorsey said. "There were so many inconsistencies in the collective group. There was not one guy that stood up and said, ‘I'm the guy in the position this year.' There really wasn't one clear-cut guy.

"There are too many technical flaws, scheme flaws. There are so many different variables that there are a lot of people all over the place on naming the top four or five guys and who those guys would be."

Washington Redskins - Time For A Name Change? from The Independent

Still, the critics have a solid case. Could you imagine that museum where the symposium took place, in its hallowed place by the Washington Mall, being called the National Museum of the Redskin? Or try a few comparable variants (the precise degree of offensiveness is naturally subjective): the Washington Darkies, say, or the Washington Eyeties, the Washington Ragheads, the Washington Spics. No way.

Top 10 NFL Free Agents from Sportsrageous

Bowe is the receiver with the most complete set of skills in this year's free agency. At 28, he could be a good quarterback away from a true breakout season. Even though Bowe is just getting off an incredibly rich contract in which he under-performed, he is good enough to warrant another. Bowe has a nice career statline with 39 touchdowns, but never had a good quarterback in most of his time with Kansas City.
