Curious. Which is the one team not sending a guy?

B14ckmon 03-13-2013 09:20 PM

I read it was all 32 teams. Jaguars have almost their entire front office in Morgantown right now.

If we woulda just kept the skeleton ****er, we'd have 2 Super Bowls by now. Minimum. We'd be sitting here talking about whether we were gonna draft Earl Dingdong or Snickers McGoodle at 1.32

At this point it does seem like Smith killing it at his pro-day can only help us by getting us a better trade down. I will take it over drafting Joeckel/Fisher.

Bills have too many needs to give up picks. They will settle for Barkley/Nassib.

ThaVirus 03-13-2013 09:28 PM

Geno having a fantastic performance is all win for us.

Either it means we will more seriously consider him at 1.1 or others will look to leapfrog the competition to take him, driving up the value of our pick for a trade back.

You already have Stanzi on the roster.

Hammock Parties 03-14-2013 12:04 AM

We should kidnap Geno, put him into cryogenic freeze for a year, and next year he can re-declare for the draft.

The Chiefs will realize their Alex Smith mistake and draft him once he's unfrozen.

Bump 03-14-2013 12:06 AM

I hope we look back at this draft with great remorse when Geno is winning Superbowls for someone else. He's gonna be a better pro than college QB.

KCrockaholic 03-14-2013 12:07 AM

I could really see Geno flourishing in Buffalo with CJ Spiller out there. I think he would fit that offense perfectly.

Direckshun 03-14-2013 12:08 AM

It's not that surprising when you consider that Reid has had a huge hardon for retreads since McNabb.

This is beyond reeruned to me.

I preferred trying Geno, but Reid and Dorsey disagreed. I would much rather see them proven right than continue to have my team fail. You guys who would rather see Geno succeed than the Chiefs is puzzling to me. This validates you as an Internet expert? Are you expecting a GM offer because you were right on Geno?

I would rather see Reid see something the average fan doesn't, and turn this ****ing franchise around. While I don't agree with their decision right now seeing Geno Smith light shit up won't make me feel better in the least.

I hope we look back at this with remorse? Beat yourself in the head with a hammer if you enjoy torturing yourself so much.

Eagles not saying much other than hes impressive.



http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/i...ssive-guy.html



Despite making the 600-mile trek to and from Morgantown, and bringing owner Jeffrey Lurie along for the ride, Chip Kelly and Howie Roseman didn’t have much to say about their private workout of West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith.

“Obviously, he’s an impressive guy,” Roseman said Wednesday, two days after the Eagles brass checked out the top-rated draft prospect.

Impressive enough to be a top ten pick?

“You’re going through the process, you’re trying to get as much information as possible,” said Roseman, who has the No. 4 overall pick. “I can’t comment on anybody else’s draft board and at this point I can’t comment on ours.”

The Eagles currently have five quarterbacks on their roster – Michael Vick, Nick Foles, Dennis Dixon, Trent Edwards and G.J. Kinne – but none are considered Kelly’s likely quarterback of the future.

So naturally, there has been speculation that the Eagles will select a quarterback at some point in the draft, whether it’s Smith in the first round or someone like Matt Scott of Arizona, who the Birds worked out in Philadelphia this week, in one of the latter rounds.

“We’re going to look at anybody and everybody to see if we can win games,” Kelly said. “Does that mean we’re going to draft a quarterback in the draft? I don’t know.”

Smith is likely to be the first quarterback drafted, but there is some dispute among analysts over where he will be taken. Some believe he’s a top ten talent. Others think the 6-foot-2, 218-pounder is a late-round pick, although a quarterback-desperate team could take him much earlier.

The Eagles were probably doing their due diligence in traveling to Morgantown, but Lurie’s unusual presence suggested that the team is either very interested in Smith or were sending out a smokescreen.

“I don’t know that we want to get into specifics about who’s coming to the trips with us,” Roseman said when asked about Lurie tagging along. “We’re going to see a lot of people here in the next few weeks. We’re going to make sure that we get as much information as possible to make the No. 4 pick in the draft the right one for the Philadelphia Eagles.”

Dayze 03-14-2013 07:22 AM

overall, I do not like the idea of taking an OL in the top 5. Hell, maybe even the top 10..

but, it seems that's the route we'll be taking, unfortunately. They'd better make some moves to get a 2nd back. Otherwise, all we'll have to show for the #1 pick is a lineman, and some 3rd rounders, etc.

Luckily, the FO has addressed areas os huge need so far in FA (unlike shithead Scooter).

Here's the catch. If Geno is a bust, that team that drafted him will be 3-13 a few years down the road in line to try again on the next great QB.

Meanwhile, we'll be toiling in mediocrity with not shot at a QB sitting at 8-8.

For me it doesn't even come down to whether he is a bust or not. Instead of using the best draft position our franchise has ever had and being able to make your selection of the best QB in the entire draft, we opted to make an unfavorable trade for one mediocre QB and sign another one in FA. Any of these types of moves could be made later on in the Reid/Dorsey tenure, or even in addition to drafting the best QB in this class.

That's what kills me about this situation. It's like they are taking the lazy, easy way out. It's like they really didn't want to give it the best shot they could, and by giving away two consecutive 2nd rounders they giving up on finding that vaunted "value" QB for awhile too. If we aren't taking a QB in 1 or 2 this year, you know these ****ers aren't going to take a QB in the first next year. Consciously planning to pick up your franchise QB in the third or lower is not sound mgmt.

The test is whether QBs taken in this year's first and second and next year's second end up being better than Alex Smith. If they are then Dorsey/Reid failed in their job, if not then they get a pass.

This has been a popular train of thought on Chiefs Planet for a long time now but IMO it isn't as true as it seems. Aaron Rogers was the 24th pick in his draft, Flacco was the 18th pick in his draft and Big Ben was 11th. Brees was the 34th pick or there about. Tom Brady...........Anyway those account for 7 of the last 12 SB winners. :shrug:

Just because Andy Reid and Dorsey likes Alex Smith doesn't make it the right move.

This is the Chiefs and Chiefs don't draft QBotf for what ever reason? If we go 8-8 then the Chiefs think that the QB is good enough for the next year. Or they will just keep going after retreads. That's what they do. FN BS.

That doesn't change the fact that you don't have to be the ultimate loser and get the 1st pick in the draft to find a franchise QB. LOL The Chiefs have the 1st now and they're not drafting a QB but there are people already willing to go 2-14 again in hopes of having the 1st pick in 2014 so we can draft the top QB.

Yeah, so with the new CBA the cost and risk of drafting a QB in the 1st is a fraction of what it used to be. Also with the rule changes that favor passing attacks it QB's are more valuable then ever. The days of those guys sliding down the draft to those positions are gone. You are trying to compare apples and oranges.

WV 03-14-2013 08:10 AM

We all should have known better when Reid was hired. He wasn't about to come in here and tie himself to a rookie QB at this point in his career. There is no Luck in this draft for him or any other coach to draft and automatically gain something, Reid wasn't about to put his QB guru NFL status up for anyone other than a can't miss prospect.
He's fully aware that he has about 3 years to put this job on the right or he'll be unemployed once again. He and the this Franchise (along with a disturbing number of its mouth breathing fans) are more willing to trust a "feel good" or reclamation project like Alex Smith than actually *gasp* draft a QB #1 overall.

We won't get a new QB going 8-8 and be stuck in medocreland for next three years with Alex Smith. We may get a wild card beat down in the playoffs again how joyful would that be? If we lose like last year and end up at the top of the draft then I think our odds will be better to actually draft a QBotf depending on how much the fanbase is demanding this regime to do so. This fanbase needs to grow a set of balls.

We'll see how it plays out this year. Is Geno going #1 and Barkely #2. I hope Geno is drafted at 1.1 becaue that means we found away to trade down or we picked him.

I don't know if they will go 1 & 2, but they will go higher this year then they would if the old CBA rules applied and teams are more willing to trade up for those guys now.

Despite making the 600-mile trek to and from Morgantown, and bringing owner Jeffrey Lurie along for the ride, Chip Kelly and Howie Roseman didn’t have much to say about their private workout of West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith.

“Obviously, he’s an impressive guy,” Roseman said Wednesday, two days after the Eagles brass checked out the top-rated draft prospect.

Impressive enough to be a top ten pick?

“You’re going through the process, you’re trying to get as much information as possible,” said Roseman, who has the No. 4 overall pick. “I can’t comment on anybody else’s draft board and at this point I can’t comment on ours.”

The Eagles currently have five quarterbacks on their roster – Michael Vick, Nick Foles, Dennis Dixon, Trent Edwards and G.J. Kinne – but none are considered Kelly’s likely quarterback of the future.

So naturally, there has been speculation that the Eagles will select a quarterback at some point in the draft, whether it’s Smith in the first round or someone like Matt Scott of Arizona, who the Birds worked out in Philadelphia this week, in one of the latter rounds.

“We’re going to look at anybody and everybody to see if we can win games,” Kelly said. “Does that mean we’re going to draft a quarterback in the draft? I don’t know.”

Smith is likely to be the first quarterback drafted, but there is some dispute among analysts over where he will be taken. Some believe he’s a top ten talent. Others think the 6-foot-2, 218-pounder is a late-round pick, although a quarterback-desperate team could take him much earlier.

The Eagles were probably doing their due diligence in traveling to Morgantown, but Lurie’s unusual presence suggested that the team is either very interested in Smith or were sending out a smokescreen.

“I don’t know that we want to get into specifics about who’s coming to the trips with us,” Roseman said when asked about Lurie tagging along. “We’re going to see a lot of people here in the next few weeks. We’re going to make sure that we get as much information as possible to make the No. 4 pick in the draft the right one for the Philadelphia Eagles.”

Tom Brady...........Anyway those account for 7 of the last 12 SB winners. :shrug:

Fair enough.

What's true in both our examples though is that you have to be willing to draft a QB in order to well.... get a QB. :p

Crazy I know.

Game played? Is the game that you are powerless fan? That nobody in the organization gives to shits what you want? The self-righteousness around here is a joke. Just because you have an Internet connection and an associates degree you think anybody cares what you want? No. Just like the rest of your life.

Powerless? Associates Degree? I think you are underestimating how important I am!!! I am important dammit!! :p

It's so obvious that we need to draft Geno.


Draft him, wait for the trade offers. If none come, we develop him for the future.

What are we really losing by doing this?

I preferred trying Geno, but Reid and Dorsey disagreed. I would much rather see them proven right than continue to have my team fail. You guys who would rather see Geno succeed than the Chiefs is puzzling to me. This validates you as an Internet expert? Are you expecting a GM offer because you were right on Geno?

I would rather see Reid see something the average fan doesn't, and turn this ****ing franchise around. While I don't agree with their decision right now seeing Geno Smith light shit up won't make me feel better in the least.

I hope we look back at this with remorse? Beat yourself in the head with a hammer if you enjoy torturing yourself so much.

JFC.

Rep. Nailed it.

This is no different than when Pioli came to town and we were told to give Cassel a chance. Same ****ing game is played on the fans.

I'm not saying it does, but they aren't necessarily going to turn out the same. I doubt Alex Smith as much as most, but to hope Geno is God, and Alex Smith is shit is just ****ing stupid. If that's the case you've chosen to no longer be a Chiefs fan. That's fine. Declare it and move on. I will always be a Chiefs fan so my hope is they have the right people in place to make the right call. The jury is out.

There are some who think those guys can be franchise QBs but they're not going #1 or even #2 so where are they going to be drafted? #7, #8? Maybe later? If that's the case then why would we want to go 2-14 and have the 1st pick? It's not necessary. And it looks like the same deal next year. If Andrew Luck is avaialbe then yeah you need the 1st pick but in a reagular draft I don't believe you do.

Excellent observation. Everybody wants to lynch Reid and Dorsey because they don't want to draft Geno with the #1 overall pick.

You just proved that their logic SUCKS.

I think that it's obvious that if Reid and Dorsey end up winning big with A. Smith that everyone will be happy.
