I went into this draft with zero expectations for them taking a QB. They didn't give up two valuable picks to drop Smith after two seasons. I know the rumor of the contact dispute but I think they'll work something out. Smith has the Chiefs over a barrel but he also has to know other teams aren't going to break the bank for a 31 year old QB. He's a solid QB but he isn't Manning. There may also be a perception that his success is partly from being in an Andy Reid system and not something that can be replicated elsewhere (look at how most Reid QBs fared after they left the Eagles).
Personally, I think Cleveland leapfrogging KC only robbed the Chiefs of a chance to trade down. I don't think they were going to take Manziel or any other QB at that spot.
I thought a pass rushing OLB was a big need on the team based on how Houston and Hali wore down last season, so I like the Ford pick. I've said before that with the QB we have, I think a quality TE would be more beneficial that another WR so passing on Lee didn't bother me that much. I just don't know if any of the good TEs will still be there in the 3rd, though there should still be some really WRs.
