draft geno

**slc chief** · 01-31-2013, 08:26 PM

should they? i think so. you have a kid with talent in geno smith. clearly he has more talent than the other qb's who are coming out. but more importantly we now have a coach who knows how to mold an nfl qb. the chiefs need to gamble on this one and just take him. here we go let the fire begin

It can also be that if we gamble and lose. The best player available is proven to be a better mindset then gambles we have to get the best player in the draft no matter where they play. They will help far more then reaching for a guy If Geno's the best player fine take him if not take the best player .

and no u can't just rely on stats unless u can break down game to game vs the same caliber opponents they mean nothing, just good for bar talk over a beer.

I agree; I highly doubt Geno will be at the top of the leaderboard.

I'm no Alex Smith fan and don't want him but to say he is just another Matt Cassel is just nonsense.

OH, and yes, draft a QB. Geno or Wilson.

Not with the new rookie wage scale. If the QB we draft ultimately fails it doesn't set you back years like it used to. High draft picks are nowhere near the risk they used to be.

here is my thought on that. lets compare the raiders bust pick jamarcus russell. and the cleveland browns all star pick joe thomas. one is a complete bust and one an o-lineman who is a constant pro bowler and considerd the best young o-lineman in the league he was a great pick. now look at it as how much better off are the browns than the raiders. they are not the browns have done just as bad as the raiders since the picks. my point THIS IS a qb driven league. if you dont have one you you are going to suck. all the experts say geno has the most talent and the most promise to become a nfl qb. take there experties for what it's worth

cam newton wasn't projected a clear cut #1 before the pro days and the combine. geno's stock has plenty of time to rise.

Kc will sign alber if bowe leaves will sign mike wallace and will draft geno first overall. You all can hold me to it

In our position, we could grab the most talented QB in the draft (Geno) and pick up a proven winner in Alex Smith. Let them fight it out for the #1 spot- if Geno gets benched and Alex earns the job, all will be right with the world. Geno needs to be humbled and taught how to play within himself, and Alex deserves another chance as a starter after leading the league in completion percentage last year. Just a thought. We could also trade down for quantity, allowing us to pick up a CB or WR along with Barkley or Gray or maybe Mike Glennon. I reserve the right to waffle, but as of now I'd take the risk with either picking Geno first or trading down for Barkley. Either way, I still want Alex Smith in KC. If he's really Cassel 2.0, hand him the clipboard and let the youngster give it a shot.
