ROFL

You know what the delicious irony is in calling him "checkdown"?

The word "checkdown" means to literally CHECK down. It means your first read isn't open, so you go to your outlet, thus "checking down".

So either he locks on to his primary receiver or he's "checkdown". He CAN'T be both.

Add Tank and Tuck to that list too. Holy hell.

The horrible drafting that hasn't been going on for the last decade has soured my taste as a Chiefs fan.

I know Poe was pretty decent this year, but I ****ing hated that pick with a passion.

I'm probably going to see the Chiefs win a playoff game before they draft a DT worth a squirrel fart since Neil Smith.

Holy ****ing balls rape shit. Talk about trying and trying and trying and whiffing on EVERY SINGLE one of those attempts. :facepalm:

Yeah, I know we got Charles for him, but this is a passing league and the RB position is not used as much anymore and it's the easiest position to find.

It pisses me the **** off that Jared Allen will go into the HOF as a top 10 pass rusher of all time as a Viking.

Goddamnit **** YOU CARL.

Pioli wouldn't have had those picks. He'd have let him walk in FA and cut his replacement after 9 weeks.

I feel like Junior Siavii should be mentioned, too, while we're talking about DTs that were drafted high and sucked donkey d*ck for KC.

I think Star Lutleilei has big bust potential. And even if he doesn't bust, he is "just OK but not impact player." If you're drafting a DT No. 1 overall, it had BETTER be a guy who is a monster pass rusher and disruptive run defender. Star was very good against the run at Utah but has not been a pass rushing force in college. He isn't going to go to the NFL and all of a sudden become a pass-rushing force. That just doesn't happen (not with DTs, anyway).

Maybe someday KC fans will stop being cowards. Martyball scarred this fanbase pretty badly, I think. Too many people still convinced its 1993 and you can win by being awesomer at the LOS than the other team. Too many people convinced you have to run, run, pass to win.

I mean, can you imagine the reaction when Reid's O throws several passes in a row? A good portion of the fanbase is going to freak out about "Throwing too much!"

Matt Bowen ‏@MattBowen41
QBs at Senior Bowl will see Cover 1, Cover 3 & throw base route tree. That's it. More about technique, footwork, skill set.

This is probably the reason why Geno declined.

The questions people have with Geno are mainly his football IQ for a pro style offense since he's played in the spread for the last 2 years.

That's what the combine is for.

Some of Tyler Wilson's biggest questions are his footwork and his weird throwing motion. I bet he knew about this and wants to prove to NFL coaches that he can improve on those things.

Clearly a lot more to gain for Wilson here than Geno.

Perhaps you're correct RunKC. I think Wilson is simply the QB competitor in this draft. I will not complain if either QB ( Wilson or Smith ) are KC's #1 pick but TW is one tough QB.

He is probably elated about the opportunity to compete without having 2 defenders hanging on him and another in his face within 2seconds of the snap.

Combine gives him another opportunity to compete. No way he passes up on it.

I 100% agree with you.

I think he's ecstatic that the only real QB competition he has is Glennon. It won't be hard for Wison to look good.

I think Wilson's stock is going to go up considerably after the Senior Bowl.

What's amazing is this team was nuts-deep in Martyball-mentality under Pissholi and passed on a guy like DeCastro and reached for a NT in Poe...

Bring on Geno Baby, His accuracy, completion % is off the charts...

who covers the senior bowl practices and the combine?

someone had a podcast last year, i thought, that was pretty good

I think there may have been a sports station from Houston that had a podcast and daily updates that was pretty good. I don't remember the station.

walterfootball has udpdated its 3 round mock today

Kansas City Chiefs: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
I wrote earlier that this pick largely depended on what would happen with Scott *****. If ***** were retained, he'd draft Star Lotulelei or Luke Joeckel and then use his second-round pick on Mike Glennon, whom he likes. If ***** were fired, however, as the awesome @saveourchiefs movement was pushing for, the new general manager would almost have to take a franchise quarterback.

Well, it was the latter situation that occurred. Andy Reid was hired, while ***** was axed. New regimes mean new quarterbacks, but whether that means Reid will spend this selection on a quarterback or sign his aging, scrambling signal-caller from Philadelphia remains to be seen. But if history is any indication, Reid will use this pick on Geno Smith.

Reid eschewed all the top free-agent quarterbacks when he took over as the Eagles' head coach, taking a mobile, Big East product with a good deep ball and upside instead. Well, Smith is a mobile, (former) Big East product with a good deep ball and upside. He fits perfectly into Reid's offense.

ESPN and other outlets will tell you that Smith nor any other signal-caller is worth taking No. 1 overall, but that could easily change. Remember two years ago when ESPN was mocking Da'Quan Bowers and Nick Fairley to the Panthers? Well, Cam Newton ballooned to the top, as will some other quarterback this year. It could be Smith, Tyler Wilson, Matt Barkley or Glennon. We'll see. Four months is a long time. If this doesn't happen, the Chiefs could always trade down.

Kansas City Chiefs: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
Kansas City's new quarterback will need a new receiver if Dwayne Bowe leaves. I wouldn't spend the money on Bowe; he's overrated because he's inconsistent and piles up most of his stats in garbage time. He was responsible for a ton of turnovers, including both of Matt Cassel's interceptions against the Ravens.

wow...he has glennon at 8...wilson at 38

Buffalo Bills: Mike Glennon, QB, N.C. State
This is a reach - I had Mike Glennon in the second round a couple of updates ago - but we've seen second-day talents like Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder go in the top 12. Teams are so desperate for quarterbacks that they'll make moves like this.

General manager Buddy Nix, who is generally forthcoming about his offseason plans, told the media that he plans on drafting a franchise quarterback. He even said he'll trade up for one in the 2013 NFL Draft. He may have been talking about Geno Smith if the Chiefs pass on him, but he won't have to move anywhere for Glennon.

It's still early, but I believe Glennon and Tyler Wilson are the two favorites for this selection. Nix will talk himself into taking one of them. Glennon is getting the most hype right now, with Mel Kiper even saying that he could be the first quarterback off the board. I liked this pick more when Chan Gailey was still the coach, as Glennon fit perfectly into his offense.

Of course, new head coach Doug Marrone may want Ryan Nassib, but it's not uncommon for a college coach to pass on his former players. For instance, we saw this in Seattle when Pete Carroll eschewed picking Taylor Mays in favor of the superior Earl Thomas.
