And unfortunately for the Chiefs, I've got a pretty strong feeling that I'm right on this one.

I really don't care that much about the picks they gave up. To me, the big debate is going to be whether Geno Smith or E.J. Manuel are true QBOTFs. Not just better than Smith, but franchise QBs. I thought Geno could be, but I'm not liking what I'm hearing about him post-draft.
I don't think they are. If they aren't, I don't mind the Alex Smith trade as much as long as we get a true franchise QB in the next 3 years (because it's probably not Alex Smith). It's possible Smith helps Reid build an offensive identity. I think Reid is going to tinker a bunch with some innovative offensive looks. This is one of those few times the scheme might justify the QB, as long as you don't hold on to the QB that long.
