KC has good playmakers and a coach with a decent offensive philosophy, I think Geno Smith would excel here... but not necessarily on ANY team.
The thing is, nobody ever knows for certain, not even with Andrew Luck.... but once in awhile you have to take a chance.
This team is going to rid of Branden Albert (a proven good LT) and TAKE A CHANCE on an unproven LT out of the draft.
Why do this on a position like LT, and not on the most important position in football?
Bono/Grbac/Huard/Green/Cassel/Alex Smith has been nothing but shitty to mediocre when being brought into this town.
Only Trent Green made the most of it.

The Chiefs are "trying" by taking a chance on the guy they think is the best that they have available to them. And with the 1.1 pick in their pocket, that includes every rookie in the draft. I see no reason for an Alex Smith failure to make Dorsey/Reid look "monumentally stupid" unless Geno or one of the other top rookies blows up immediately.
