Peter King: Scouts not impressed with 2013 QB class

[Quesadilla Joe]

Bad year to pick a QB 1, 2 or 3. QBs sinking like stones in eyes of NFL scouts.

If Geno and Barkley don't get rave reviews Murray might come out early. I think he is ready, and looks to be the most prototypical QB of the group.

He's not that big so prototypical might be a bit of a stretch.

I think Murray, much like Bray, might as well be dead to us. We will have next year either Matt Barkley or Geno Smith with Tyler Wilson having a slight chance.

It'll be one of those 3.

What do scouts know? Jaguars say hi....thanks for the useless Blaine Gabbert

Apparently it's a bad year period to pick a player at all according to McShay and Kiper.

Let's just not pick anybody. They might bust.

And they traded up to get him.

Why does everyone take these things as true. The real deal is that nobody really knows shit.

King is not the only one saying it. There are alot of people saying it. If you are honest with yourself, you will see what they mean when you watch the tape on these guys. Honestly, right now, I can't see any GM taking one of these guys #1 overall.

oh yeah youre sooo right and smart buddy! Matt Cassel & Brady Quinn are soooo much better then the possibilities of Geno Smith and Matt Barkley. Ya lets see what Cassel can do next year. Its a process. Give him time.

**** you

Even the year we suck the worst, we're freakin' doomed to select the worst first ever.

Whichever one is more accurate come april draft. We take that one. I don't care. Accuracy and field smartness = nfl greatness. I don't care if thats Geno, Barkley, or Wilson. We need to take one of them. All 3 of those guys are better than any qb we have on the roster right now. And anyone who thinks we shouldnt take a qb with our first pick you are not a true chiefs fan so get the **** off this site and go jump off a bridge while stabbing yourself midair with a rusty aids infected butter knife

This is a pretty good class. It is a good year to suck for a QB.

Murray chokes in big games and withers when UGA gets behind. He is a poor leader and we don't want him. I am as much of a UGA fan as I am a Chiefs fan. I have seen every play he has ever made on the field.

In no way is that what I was saying buddy boy. We have to draft a QB. I would like to move back into the first round and get one. However, taking a QB with the #1 pick this yer seems pretty stupid to me at this point. We should probably take Jarvis Jones or trade back if we can.

I find it hilarious when Message board posters use the term "watch the tape".

What tape? His youtube highlights?

Your comment could have easily been used when discussing Aaron Rodgers heading into the 2005 draft.

The reality is that QB is the hardest position to pick, and the analysts will only say a QB is elite if he fits their prototype mold of big size, rocket arm, amazing accuracy, big winner in college, experience in pro-style offense, multiple years as a starter, etc.

It is a much easier gig to pick apart a player's potential flaws than go out on a limb for a guy.
