I still think we draft Geno. Why wouldn't we? Because of Alex Smith? He's on a two year deal. Now is the time to draft our QBOTF.

I'm all for it but I'll believe it when I see it. So up until the draft I'm going to play the trade down scenario game. :shrug:

Understood, but long-term the wise move is to draft and develop Geno. The only other justifed player would be Star at number one, IMO. With the new CBA we would prudent to make our move now.

What's forgotten around here with the " New CBA" garbage is that's also more feasible and less expensive to draft EVERY position, whether DE, DT, CB, Safety, WR, LT, etc.

Yep, BUT QB supercedes all positions in order of importance.

Drafting Geno would be brilliant.

Bullshit, especially in this draft.

There is not a single, immediate, franchise changing QB in this draft. Teams need to get immediate impact players with their first round selections, let alone the #1 overall pick in the draft.

Look at how the Chiefs ****ed up their 2009 and 2011 drafts for proof. Instead of a guy like Orapko or Harvin or Maclin or Cushing or Matthews and so on, the Chiefs waited around for 4 years on Tyson Jackson and all they got was a part-time player.

In 2011, they passed on Dalton and Kaepernick but were "rewarded" with Jonathan Baldwin instead. How's that worked out?

If the #1 overall pick needs to "develop" on the bench for a season or two
before he's ready to start, that player is unworthy of the #1 overall pick. That's a ****ing waste of resources, not to mention the fact that contracts are only four years long, unless after the second season, you decide to pick up the option for a fifth year.

What team in their right mind is going to sit a player for two years, then decide to pick up the option for a fifth when they've been incapable of starting for TWO YEARS?
