A 2nd round qb, to me, will be just as risky as taking geno there at first.

Thats a very short sited view. Many experts are not only mocking Geno in the top 10, but are saying he is worth it too now.
There is no such thing as a non risk pick. Plenty of LTs and linemen etc have been called no risk picks only to bust heavily. The difference here is while you 100% NEED a good to great quarterback, you can get away with mediocre line play. There is a great many reasons to take the risk. 30 years of non risk taking should be enough to convince you.
We have done the Joeckel pick countless times before. See Dorsey or Jackson or Ryan Sims.
