4. Matt Blundin (1992): 40th Overall

The highest the Chiefs have drafted a quarterback since the infamous 1983 draft, Matt Blundin was supposed to be the leader of a very talented team. Had Blundin shown any true promise after his rookie season, the Chiefs may have never traded for Joe Montana.

It was commonly thought that all Kansas City needed was a healthy, NFL caliber quarterback and the mid 90s would not have been Dallas’ dynasty. Alas, the traded for an aging and oft-injured star and got as far as the AFC Championship with Blundin on the sidelines.

In limited time for the Chiefs, Blundin completed two passes on eight attempts and an interception. All of those attempts came after his rookie year when he was learning from one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He sat at third-string for his entire career and, after finally being released from the Chiefs, he joined the Detroit Lions in 1997.

His only pass attempt in Detroit was picked off and returned for a touchdown. This was a complete disaster pick by the Chiefs as Blundin had just one good season at Virginia before being drafted. Because of his size and his zero interception season in college, the Chiefs gambled and lost.
