"Speaking of Croyle, enough uncertainty about his potential in the NFL remains that there are rumblings in Kansas City that suggest it may be difficult for the Chiefs, even with more pressing needs on the offensive line and at wide receiver and cornerback, to pass on a franchise passer like Boston College's Matt Ryan when they select either fourth or fifth overall in April, if he's still available. Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt didn't exactly dispel those rumors recently. "Whether it's this year or another year, if we have a shot at somebody we think can be a franchise quarterback, I would expect us to take him," Hunt said. "That presumes we don't already have one on the roster, and right now, I don't think we know that.""

They have the 5th pick...but dealing with them has been has been a pain.  Maybe Parland could bring different deal making mojo than Meuller did with them.
