Anathema: The best QB in this draft to run Reid's offense may not be Geno
 

It is Colby Cameron.

This guy is as accurate as they come. And he throws it a lot. Just like Andy likes to run his O.

I would still like to see the Chiefs draft Geno with the #1 pick and Colby with either the 4th or 5th round pick. (I know, I know...he is projected to be either a 7th round pick or UDFA, but I would hate for another team to get "hot" on him and jump ahead of us.)

I'm a Geno fan and was on the bandwagon from the get go, but I personally don't think that Geno is heads and shoulders above Colby.

Cameron is the sleeper in this year's draft and will be the steal that tops the Seahawks getting Russell Wilson last year.

I saw one Louisiana Tech game all year and was kind of meh.

I'll watch the guy some more. I could get on board with him as a late round draft pick.

So Geno is the #1 pick and Colby is a 4th or 5th.....yet you don't think he's head and shoulders above him? :spock:

I'd be careful with the Russell Wilson hyperbole.

But yeah, Cameron is an interesting prospect.

I just don't see them doing what Washington did last year.

I remember when I thought Dan LeFevour was going to be the next Tom Brady.

Good times... good times...

No. I don't think there is a huge difference between them, but I think there is a huge difference between where they will be drafted.

This.

Small school QBs have been drafted in the first round before. Why do you think Colby Cameron hasn't caught on yet as a sleeper draft pick?

Not challenging you, just asking. I want to learn more.

everyone remember when Giovanni Carmazzi was the IT QB in the 2000 NFL draft?!?

He torched the aggies and yet I was still unimpressed. I think the coaches did a good job of confusing the defense, but he looked terrible before the adjustments were made-- especially under pressure. That's the only game I saw

I thought highly of Dan as well.

Cameron doesn't seem to have much zip on his passes from that A&M highlight.

Right now it's tough for me to think of him as anything but a Kellen Moore. Again, though, it's early. If we draft two QBs, I'd be just fine taking a shot at Cameron later in the draft.

Sounds good to me.

How is he going to be bigger than Wilson if he's rotting on the bench behind Choco Pain?

I really don't like any of the late round prospects. Maybe Renfree but I haven't seen a lot of him...and he's injured.

Ya I remember that.

Insert gif of deer in headlights.

There aren't usually a lot of late rounders that are exciting. If there's anything about their game at all that makes you say :hmmm: they're ending up somewhere in the 2nd-3rd range.

Every Sherlock has his Watson

This is what ive found

Then he threw 3/6 for 33 yards and an int in the bowl game...

I don't know, i have seen some amazing throws from Geno and it has made me very biased when it comes to this crop of QB's. Like others have said, I would draft Cameron in the latter rounds after we take a QB in round 1.

I think everyone is just so "meh" on the whole QB class; there is a lot of talk that there are no QBs worth taking in the first round. I think Cameron has suffered due to being lumped into an otherwise bad QB class.

Also, I don't think he fits in with a lot of offensive schemes. I think Reid's offense with all the short passing fits his skillset really well.

Would I bet the entire franchise on him prior to the draft? No, but I would certainly bring him in to compete with (and complement) Geno.

Ricky Stanzi.

Well, that sucks.

NO .....

True enough. People thought Ryan Lindley was a good pick

Hell, I thought Lindley was an intriguing prospect.

So much for that! :D

Lindley was garbage in college. Why did people think he could be good?

I have no problem grabbing a prospect QB in the 5th round every other year or so.

I wouldn't say he was garbage. He had a - arm and some + traits.

It's becoming very obvious that while tangibles, particularly height, aren't the be all/end all for QBs anymore (if they ever were), having a live arm is an absolute prerequisite for any inkling of success in today's NFL.

He's got an excellent arm, very good pocket feel and has a natural understanding of the game.

I think a third rounder is high for him, and a fifth is more likely.

good grief that's some terrible _efense

not real impressed

I got no problem w/ this approach. They need to add 2 QBs as is

No NFL scout, but his arm strength does not impress me.
