The bottom line is this:
There isn't a more popular move that Clark could make than drafting Geno Smith first overall.
Why?
Because part of the reason (if not most of the reason) the SOC half of the fanbase exists is because they want to win a Super Bowl and they believe that the way to do that is to draft and develop a QB.
But what about the other half of the fanbase? Don't they want a LT or Manti Te'o? Yes, they do. But these are the same people that think we should support the team NO MATTER WHAT, ala DEB ALL CAPS. So while they're scared of taking a QB now, or they don't think there's a QB worth taking, once Clark pulls the trigger on Smith he's a Chief and they're instantly "all in".
It's a win-win for Clark. An absolute no-brainer.
