Maybe. I would say that the most important player is the right quarterback. A lot of us believe that is Geno Smith.
But I am not so in love with the guy that I will be heartbroken if we trade down, take someone else, sign a stop-gap veteran, and draft our QBOTF next year. We want our QB and we are all a little impatient, for good reason.
I think that Dorsey and Reid both know they need to draft a legit QB high. But if they don't want Geno, then don't draft him. If you are never going to love that QB, never going to get behind him, never give him the same coaching or attention you would a QB that you truly believe in, then you aren't doing the fanbase any favors by drafting him.
My deepest hope is that Reid and Dorsey fall in love with Geno and we take him number one. I actually prefer that to them getting Stanzi and saying "whoa this guy is amazing!" and he becomes our legit, elite QB. Why? I want the excitement of having that marquis player as a rookie - the guy all the pundits are talking about. And I don't want any tie to ***** on this team anymore.
Hopefully we get Geno. But if we end up with Alex Smith and an extra first rounder next year, honestly then, I'm not going to complain.
Because here's the truth: someone in this draft will be a multi-year probowler. To say that it absolutely is Geno, and to get your expectations up like that as a fan is just foolish.
Between Geno and the field, I will take the field. For that reason alone, the "Geno or bust!" mentality is stupid.
But! At the end of the day, you have to pick one guy vs. the field. I just hope they agree that guy is Geno.
