But that's not true. There were plenty of scouts that liked Kaepernick and Wilson but they were overruled by their GM (the Chiefs included).
Wilson's issue didn't stem from athleticism, leadership, or ability. It stemmed from his height. Kaepernick was passed over because of his competition.

I just happen to think there are a few guys in this class that have 9" dicks and are trying to follow Lex Steel.

And I disagree. As I stated earlier, E.J. Manuel is the only guy that I can look at and say "Wow, this guy has all the tools to be a Franchise QB". Smith has issues, Wilson has issues, Barkley has issues, Bray has issues.
And had Buffalo not needed a strong-armed QB, it's quite possible that he'd have fallen to the second round as well.
There were no "clean" prospects in this draft, despite the narrative passed around Chiefsplanet for five brutal months.
