Everyone is assuming the Chiefs overplayed their hand with Smith. I think it's as likely, if not more so, that there was an early strong market for Smith. The 49ers I'm sure set the price for Smith. The Chiefs didn't call and say, "We'll give you two seconds for Alex. What do you say?" I'm. Sure it was more the 49ers telling teams what it'll take to trade for him, and I'll bet they started with a first rounder.
I remember several teams releasing statements, saying they weren't pursuing Smith, and just a few days later it leaked that the Chiefs had a deal in place. I think those teams probably DID pursue him, but the Chiefs won out. Smith did say there were a number of interested teams. |
Got to have a trade partner. Someone has to be convinced the dude they want won't be around. We are stuck. The mantra is the same:Bad year to be 1:1.

Clark, Scotty, and Andy became desperate to trade the pick away when they just recently realized that Leon Sandcastle is Deion Sanders in disguise.

If Geno was so good we wouldn't be in this situation. What part of that is hard for you to comprehend? Geno may be the best QB prospect in this draft but NOBODY thinks he is worth the #1 pick. JFC wise up. |

SOMEBODY in this class has to go at that top spot. Are you saying that player is Luke ****ing Joeckel? One of the mediocre pass rushers? Give me a ****ing break. NFL teams think like this because coaches and GMs get fired if they make bad picks. Geno is "TWO RISKEE111!" for them as a QB. But in terms of players who can even sniff the significant impact that that the #1 overall pick will be worth? It's Geno. And you don't know what NFL teams think. This time of the year it's impossible to know based on what they do. |

Fact is if they didn't want Geno they had to make a move for a QB. That and the #1 pick are not mutually exclusive. |
If Matt Stafford (a shitty QB that people on this board have a bizarre fascination with) were the top QB available in the draft, how do you know Andy Reid still wouldn't have made the Alex Smith trade?
You heard him talking. It's likely (again, I don't know for sure) that he intended to make the Smith trade no matter WHO was the top QB in the draft outside of an Andrew Luck. |

That's just as bad as "overdrafting" Geno at #1. If not worse, because there is INSANE amounts of draft value at that 2nd round pick this year. There's almost nothing at #1 overall. The fact is that John Dorsey was trying to play Uncle Ron Wolf in these negotiations and wound up doing the exact OPPOSITE of a Ron Wolf strategy. |

Still cracks me up that people can still justify the fleecing we took in the Average Smith trade. Let's take a T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

What has Abu dantly clear for 30 years, is that the Chiefs will not be picking a QB in the first round, no matter the circumstances. |
