At this point, which QB would you rather have KC draft in 2013?
I'm going with Geno Smith. He had a decent game today, even though his team didn't win. I think he's a better fit for the Chiefs than Barkley. You gotta like the way he throws the football.
Can't blame Chiefs fans at all for being gunshy about taking a USC QB. None of the more recent ones from USC has had much in the way of post-season success.
I will say it again, though. Whoever the next QB is, the Chiefs brass ( minus Pioli, I hope ) must make damn sure that he has a good O-Line in front of him that can pass-block and keep him upright and give him time to throw. Or else we'll see another David Carr or another version of Matt Cassel getting beaten into a zombie.
I would also look at AJ McCarron from Bama he's won a title and after tonight looks like he will be playing for number 2 after what he just did to LSU on that final drive I would also consider him
Genooooooooooooooo
McCarran not another joke "running" wanna be qb.
Not so, they've been getting ran over repeatedly in the passing game as well. I know this as I've watched every game via NFL GameRewind. The Chiefs QB's have been under fierce pressure all year. Nevermind what any stat sheet says, the overhead camera doesn't lie.
We should take Mingo, the DE from LSU :biggrin:
I don't know much about either but taking a USC QB is risky in my opinion.
ARe either of these guys good enough to be the guy? I hear alot of talk about this years QB stock being weaker than other years
Don't trouble yourself, we are not going to draft a QB yet again this year. And that should have been one of your options. I wish we would, but we will continue to pick guys in the 6th round and hope they turn out to be the next Tom Brady.
I don't understand how people can still like geno. i've watched his last 3 games and all 3 have been awful. the only time he's played good is when hes played horrible defenses. his game yesterday was horrible he just got bailed out by some miracle catches from his recievers. He's got jamarcus russel written all over him. A thug that throws temper tantrums. Throwing gang signs to fans, temper tantrums on the sideline when things aren't going right, horrible footwork, spread offense, locks onto receivers, looks to run if first read isn't available. PASS
barkley all the way
Sign Matt Moore as a free agent. The Chiefs should continue to trade down through the first round and accumulate as many picks as possible. They should try and gain an additional 1 or perhaps even 2 more first round picks in 2014. With their first round pick this season, they should target a cornerstone MLB.
In the 2014 draft, they should do whatever they can to target the top QB in that draft. Those names include Bridgewater from Louisville, Logan Thomas from VT, but my choice would be Tyler Bray from Tennessee if I had to choose right now.
The QBs in this draft class just aren't the franchise QBs you should expect from a #1 or #2 overall pick.
I am concerned about the QBs in this draft as well but what the hell do the Chiefs do if they do not draft a QB...who the hell is out there in free agency?
I dont dislike this idea. I would LOVE to see Manti Teo in a Chiefs uniform lining up next to DJ. I really wanted to see Bowe traded (even for a 3rd with conditionals) to try and make this happen. In this scenario, I would want to bring in more than 1 QB. Matt Moore and maybe someone else, but I dont know who is available.
This is precisely why I believe it is a good idea to double dip at the QB position in the draft. Never before have the Chiefs done this in the draft & if they are ever are going to do it, then why not do it in the 2013 draft? Especially since they don't have a quality starter or backup, as of right now and FA don't look good.
Trade down get mad picks and get McCarran.
there is not a good qb to draft this coming year
McCarron won't be in this draft. He'd be an idiot to come out early.
How do the LSU D-Lineman look?
I disagree. This logic is more applicable because it is more recent. All the QBs out of USC recently have been busts. Primarily because of the system in USC is designed to make QBs look good (primarily because of a good defense and running game). I dont think the system there has changed much since Pete Carroll left, so I am very suspect of their QBs. However, Barkley has done better IMO than Leinert and Sanchez.
Didn't know much about either so I did some research. Smith looks like a qb who could be a franchise qb at this point. Not really sold on Barkley. I think I would be excited if we were able to get Smith. If we fall out of the number 1 pick though, I'd rather not take Barkley and maybe trade up some.
I want Barkley, but I certainly would not mind if we picked Smith.
I'd take Barkley over smith, but mostly because I don't know that much about Smith and he seems to be a new name on the scene. Barkley also runs a pro-type offense. My only hesitation is USC's recent history of QBs. Their best has Palmer and he never hit the ceiling he should have, but that could be blamed on his ACL injury.
They have improved a little bit from last year, but not much, or enough to make a difference. Take a good look at what the Raiders D-line does to our O-line. The O-line has a ways to go.
It also doesn't help when the GM doesn't have a proper backup center or a 3rd qb ready for the game.
Back to the subject of future QB draft possibles...I'd like to throw out another name - E.J. Manuel
FSU EJ Manuel 2011 Highlights - YouTube
I'm not in love with either one of these guys for the number one or two pick in the draft.
No thanks on Manuel thats the last thing we need is a wanna be qb
Frikin another Lmao qb. Maybe he ought should try arena football. Don't need some gang banger qb.
Smith can only operate out of the shotgun (dont need that). And Barkley actually has pretty good foot work and throws well on the run! Barkley is a better pick IMO.
I would like Tyler Bray (trade down a couple spots?) if he comes out for the draft. I think he is only a junior. But he is like 6.5 feet tall - no more swatted balls and he can see the field. I would take his teammate wide receiver as 2nd pick in the 2nd round. In the 3rd I would consider taking Landry Jones if available.
