Agreed. One would do better to listen more closely to Mike Mayock these days.

Love him...and unfortunately his board doesn't really take shape until after the Senior Bowl. Though as much as I love Mayock, he was as high as anyone on Blaine Gabbert in 2011.
Just goes to show that nobody truly knows how these guys will pan out and to the same extent that you scout and love a player, there's still a lot of luck involved. The only guys I hope get it right are the hired scouts of the Chiefs.
Regardless, I feel that Geno has more talent than any QB currently on the roster. Getting him on the first team is the first step. Developing him into a stud NFL quarterback will be the hard part. Regardless, the tools are there to be successful at this level.
A 10 loss team (so far) that has as many holes as we do should take the best player available. If management (whoever it is at draft time) decides that Geno is the bpa - then I have no problem with them taking him at no. 1. I personally think that we need a replacement for Belcher. Teams are using tight ends more and more, and we need somebody to match up with them. If I was the GM, I would take Te'o (if we can't trade down). I would then take Tyler Wilson or Tyler Bray (whoever available) with our 2nd pick and let him fight it out with Quinn and Tanney.
