It's pennies on the dollar.
Drafting a dud at QB could set the franchise back for another 17 years.

Matt Cassel lead the league in turnovers, even though he only played half a year...but we should pass on a quarterback with the top pick in the draft to replace a top 5 left tackle with a guy from a 1 read spread and keep Cassel as the starter. /drooling reerun

ESPN's Mel Kiper stated on SportsCenter Wednesday that he does not anticipate West Virginia QB Geno Smith being a top-ten pick in April's draft.
Kiper doesn't even have Smith as this year's top-rated quarterback, ranking him behind NC State's Mike Glennon and USC's Matt Barkley. "My contacts in the NFL tell me that Geno Smith's not that consensus top-ten guy," Kiper said. "(And) obviously, Glennon and Barkley aren't." Kiper did say Syracuse's Ryan Nassib has "moved up a lot," potentially into the back end of the first round if a team is willing to trade up for him. Kiper has Glennon first, Barkley second, Smith third, Arkansas' Tyler Wilson fourth, and Nassib fifth in his quarterback rankings. Jan 16 - 1:57 PM




Evan Silva‏ @ evansilva Mel Kiper's top-5 quarterbacks for the 2013 NFL Draft: 1) Mike Glennon 2) Matt Barkley 3) Geno Smith 4) Tyler Wilson 5) Ryan Nassib.

Talking about Geno to buddy tonight.

Yes, he has seen every shred of video, statistical evidence (the accuracy chart, all his game tape, all the highlight vids, the stat comparisons, EVERYTHING) and still won't admit it.

I told him it was because he was scared that we would end up with Geno while Rivers (hes a traitorous chargers fan) slowly withers and dies.

im almost convinced we arent taking Geno. I want them too, but something tells me, its not gonna happen :( if he really goes by his BPA and they have someone rated better, the chiefs are screwed maybe.

i'm pretty sure we aren't drafting a QB in the first round...

Chiefs have never done the right thing, and their fans have never wanted them to...I won't believe they are capable of it until they actually do it

I don't think we'll take him at #1. We might trade back and take him but, I think it's going to be a linemen if we stay at #1. Dorsey was very adament about taking the best player available no matter the position and Geno just isn't the best player in this class. I like him but, there are several better players. I think it would have been more likely for ***** to take him than Dorsey. The new regime isn't backed into a corner and both Dorsey and Reid have talked about a 3 year time table.

1. Please learn what BPA means and understand its many definitions and possibilities before superimposing Dorsey's vague draft plan onto our QB situation next year

2. You realize that regardless of "several better players" that QBs are exponentially more valuable than those guys are? And yes, that goes for pass rushers and LTs, too, especially when we already have plenty of good ones on the team

3. Geno is going to be gone if we trade back. If we trade back we're missing out on the best QB in the draft most likely, unless someone like Wilson leaps him during workouts/interviews. And I highly doubt that at this point.
