I'm a little confused. What have I said that's negative?

I'm not sure how you quantify 'production' for an offensive tackle, but at the end of the day, the success or failure of this draft will have more to do with Alex Smith than with anyone else.

And I want to reiterate that I have been one of the more positive posters about the players they drafted this weekend. The only picks I really question are Knile Davis and Braden Wilson. My main issue with this draft was and is the loss of the 34th pick. I think we gave up too much for Alex Smith, I think we'd have been better served with a free agent veteran quarterback and spending the 2013 and 2014 second rounders on draft picks.

But I am also convinced that none of the QB's this year fill the bill for what we needed. And I think the pressure of WINNING would have killed any development of this years crop.

It's possible they think more of either Stanzi or Tanney than I do. They're the guys I'm thinking about primarily in this discussion. I believe Dysert, for example, would have been an upgrade at the 3rd quarterback spot over either of those guys. That to me is as much a 'need' as anyone they drafted today aside from Nico. Which is not to say that Dysert will necessarily ever start a game, but I think there's a better (albeit still small...) chance of it happening with him than with either of them.

Mayock with high praise. Says Renfree probably understands the passing game better than any QB in this draft.

Chiefs drafted a QB in the second, so why would they even be in this mix?

Someone was comparing him to Pennington earlier today. Good understanding of the game but not much arm.

Exactly.

(I about crapped myself when I heard Dorsey say that Thursday night to the true fans at the draft party, to mad cheers of course)
