If not #1, where?
The draftniks keep saying that Geno Smith isn't worth the #1 pick.
None of them say he isn't the top QB in the class though. If we don't take him at #1 how far is he realistically going to fall? I see no scenario where he falls out of the Top 10. So if he's the top QB in a weak class... QB is our biggest need... And he's gonna go Top 10 anyway... Why not at #1? Am I wrong to say he won't fall out of the Top 10? Discuss... |

I mean Kiper had all the reeruns of the world convinced that Manti Te'o was going to be the #1 overall pick a month ago. If these guys said, yeah, it's going to be Geno, then what else do they say for four months? They got to sell newspapers somehow, keep their jobs relevant somehow, and what better way to do it than to keep flipping on guys right up until the actual draft. It's going to be Geno. And if it's not, he'll be gone by the second pick. |

I remember the 2007 draft. Brady Quinn was thought to go in the top ten. He was in the draft room, cameras would pan on him anytime a potential team might pick him. Then he kept dropping down and down. Eventually Brady went to a private room behind the watching eyes of everyone as the debacle unfolded. You felt embarrassed for the poor guy. This wasn't suppose to happen, not now!
Certain Chief fans on here were thinking the Chiefs should draft down and nab him, they had to have him! It could have been the golden moment to shine according to some of our draft "gurus" using that term loosely i might add. Cleveland the next day was heralded in the sports pages that they stole the draft, even gave them an A grade. I ask you, did Brady Quinn pan out over the years? Did He? |

Otherwise, I have yet to hear a good, valid explanation for why Smith is not a #1 caliber pick. I hear a lot of hemming and hawing and "well, I don't actually know very much about him, but he isn't any good IMO" and "he lost 6 games, he sux!", but I have yet to see any meaningful point against him made that can't be countered (to an extensive degree in most cases) with actual video evidence. People are just gunshy. |

Alot of times, it seems its more a mental thing. But, I do think it also has to be a system match with the QB, as some guys excel at some systems others don't. In the end though, either you ahve it or you don't. |

If you watch Mitch's interview with Dorsey, he talks about taking the BPA and how it's his philosiphy. He talks about how they kept taking WRs like Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb in Green Bay for example when they didn't need them.
I might get killed for this but, Geno probably isn't the best player available at #1 per Dorsey's terms imo. It is probably Luke Joeckel, Star Lotulelei, or Jarvis Jones. Those guys are probably the best prospects in the draft. Geno might be the best QB prospect in the draft but, he's probably not going to be the best player on the Chiefs board. For example, Per Dorsey's draft strategy, I believe we would even take Jarvis Jones if he was the best player on the board. Even though we already have Houston and Hali. I'm sure many won't like it but, he basically said it himself. He doesn't draft for need. |

Research and Scout your targets Go get your target. Who cares where hes selected as long as he pans out. Chiefs should have drafted Flacco over Dorsey or Albert, and i dont even think Flacco is an "all world" talent.
