What they do with Albert will tell us everything that we need to know about how they plan on drafting with that first pick.
The QB position may also be dependent on how they end up ranking the QBs. For example, if Geno is the 7th best player on their board, they may not take him at 1 overall. But if they've got another QB on their board that they think will be around late first, I wouldn't be surprised to see them try to trade back into the first round later on and take that guy. We shall see... |

I have faith that Dorsey and Reid are going to get the draft right in the long term. But in the short term, I don't see us making many sexy moves... |
Who knows what Jimmy Clausen would have been if we drafted him when Charlie Weis was still here. That was a large part of why we liked him so much at the time.
I'd also like to say that it's unfair to judge the guy when he didn't have a chance to develop...lots of qbs have came out looking bad till the point where the game slows down for them kicks in. |
Reid is great with QB's. If he doesn't think Geno is his franchise QB, he can make him look good for a year and trade him for a killing if he really wants to to get his own guy.
But I think Geno has it. Hes very talented, has the size, has speed, and most importantly has arm strength and accuracy. His problems are fixable, and Reid is one of the best in the business to fix him. I think he has everything Dorsey also looks for in a QB. |

I'd take Clausen over Stanzi as the 3rd QB.

John Dorsey is planting the seeds for drafting Geno Smith. He has basically described him to a t.

His fastest 40 time was 4.55, he will run when need be. Kind of like what Aaron Rodgers does. Pass first but very athletic.
|
At some point we're going to have to put it on the banner at the top of the board: GENO SMITH IS NOT A RUNNING QB. HE'S NOT RUSSELL WILSON OR RGIII, PLEASE MOVE ALONG NOW.

He will run the pistol read option a lot, but throw mostly play action screens and slants out of it, with the occasional keep.
|
That pistol offense is what makes Geno so deadly on 3rd down or in the red zone. When you run it correctly it is almost impossible to defend.
|
this guy is another ***** hell **** everything up

I don't want him to run. But he has the legs to make something happen if be needs too.

If we don't take him, the jags will. Especially with him being from Florida. We have to take him #1 or we will lose him.

heh, someone on the radio this morning brought up an interesting thought. Would Vince Young have benefitted from the read option? Was he mis used by Fisher or maybe a few years too early?

These guys absolutely DO operate with depth of thought and analysis. That's why they like Geno A LOT more than the average fan. |

We won't know for sure until after the combine and east/west game and senior bowl, but if it's pure BPA...prepare for Jarvis Jones...regardless of our current needs...unless we're able to somehow trade down and Geno or Wilson last until our traded down pick. This is not what I want to happen...it's what I'm guessing will happen.
The only consolation is that I'm pretty sure that there will be a QB of low first round value that will slip to our 2nd pick. That's the nature of drafts where the perception is that there are no worthwhile franchise QB's. In this rare instance, this flawed perception could work for us. |

Geno falling to 10 is almost as hilarious as people who think we can take Luke Joeckel at 1-1 and still get Tyler Wilson in the 2nd round. |
Quote:
Jarvis Jones won't be the top pick. He might not even be a top 10 pick when it's all said an done. Hell, he could fall clear out of the 1st round like Marcus McNeill did. |

That same examination caused Marcus McNeill's grade to drop a FULL ROUND instantaneously. |

We don't need a OLB though as we have Houston and Hali. If we don't take a QB with the #1 pick, it will likely be a LT in Joeckel. With that said I still don't understand why we would take a LT when we can re-sign Albert or at worst tag him for another year?
Star is a excellent prospect but we don't need him at NT after selecting Poe. |

Don't worry about it. |

Btw next years OT class looks real good with Taylor Lewan and Jake Matthews also if we need one then. Both were 1st round locks and went back to school.
Dallas, why Jones when we have Hali and Houston??? |
Quote:
They absolutely DO care about it. The fact that McNeill struggled to finish his rookie contract and now looks to be finished after just 5 years is going to further hurt Jones. |
Just made a $20 bet with a co-worker who says we wont even reach 8-8 next year, how many others here would make the same wager?

I trust Dorsey to make the right call on Geno. With that said, if we don't draft him, I'll be pissed. And if we don't draft him, we had better of raped somebody for picks with a trade down of some sort. There is no other option. You live and die by the quarterback. I'm sure Dorsey knows this. So getting that potential franchise QB is what this off season is all about. If we get an average washed up retread, this off season is a failure.
There is 1 goal this off season. |
Lol trust me I hate the talk of LT's with the first pick but just showing that by tagging Albert this year at worst and his back doesn't hold up.... we have good options next year if needed.
We NEED a QB with the #1 pick this year! |
Quote:

If you don't re-sign Albert.....put ****ing Stephenson in. He was at least serviceable.
|
Quote:
Not going to go overboard into 10-6, 11-5 land, but 8-8 should be more than doable. We'll also have a patsy schedule. |
I am not all that worried about the draft now. I do really hope that we draft Geno, but not because of what I think about him, instead because if we do that means that Dorsey and Reid think that he is the real deal. If we don't, then I will accept that either they don't see enough of an upside to justify taking him above someone else that they see more in to take them in spite of the huge void at the QB position.
My pipe dream is as some others have said here, in either trading back and getting Geno anyhow, or take someone else and trade back into the first to get someone that they see as damn near the same as Geno. |
dorsey and AR know the qb position and they certainly know talent. I want Geno but like others have said, these guys know better than probably just about anyone if they think hes the real deal or not, i'll be content with any decision they make. They know whats best.

The fact that you see in the last 2yrs very young, athletic QB guys emerge like Cam, RGIII, Wilson, and even Luck with Johnny Football waiting in the wings who are defying the NFL developmental 'consistent success timeline logic' makes it much much easier for Dorsey/Reid to take Geno at ONE regardless of whether he is a solid No.1 or not especially when you NEED a QB !.
How in the hell, do you not take Geno when you see guys like Cam,RGIII, Wilson and Luck rise to the top knowing Geno can be every bit as good if not better in some cases? |
God, I hope Dorsey passes on Geno Smith just to listen to the shrieking of all the internet football experts on here...LMAO

As bad as it will be if we don't draft geno, if we do, everyone who was/is against him will be under immense fire.
