It's a huge competitive advantage. The Chiefs won the SB with their superstar QB who was counting for like 6M against the cap.So I don't see the logic in taking a QB high at this point because of Rodgers' contract. It is not remotely feasible to moving on from him until 2022, and even this they would take a 17M cap hit to release him. Ideally, you'd want to wait at least until 2023. And that assumes that he's declining over that phase and that you actually want to replace him, which isn't necessarily going to be the case. So if you were to take a QB in the first round this year, that kid is sitting for 2-3 years. In other words, you're wasting 2-3 years of his highest value while he's on that rookie contract. So for that reason, I think they have to wait. If Rodgers doesn't improve in the offense in 2020, then they should start considering it. If he does improve, then I'd hold off until the 2022 draft. And that doesn't mean they have to waste the value if a desirable QB fell to #30. That would likely give them the chance to trade out of the first round with a QB needy team picking high in round 2.</blockquote>
