Fox Sports Poll: Who Should the Chiefs Draft at No. 1?
Dec 20. It’s a very weak quarterback class. Matt Barkley is not a first round talent. Geno Smith is not worthy of the top overall pick. Using the NFL’s overall standings following Week 15, here's my latest top 32 and the places I could see college football’s top talent ending up. 1. Kansas City Chiefs: Luke Joeckel, Offensive tackle, Texas A&M* The Chiefs are due for a change at the quarterback position, that’s for sure. I’m just not sure that quarterback is in this draft. Make no mistake about it — there’s no Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III in this 2013 draft class. There may not be a Ryan Tannehill, Nick Foles, Brock Osweiler, Brandon Weeden or Russell Wilson, either. I’ll get clobbered for this and so might their front office, but I think Kansas City is better off acquiring a veteran quarterback (Alex Smith or Matt Flynn, perhaps) than rolling the dice on a rookie quarterback who’s unworthy of the top overall selection for the sake of drafting one. Joeckel is one of the most promising offensive tackle prospects I’ve seen in the past five years. Very athletic. Nimble. He was fantastic in Mike Sherman’s scheme and even better in Kliff Kingsbury’s. This may not inspire the fan base, but it’s a franchise cornerstone. 6. San Diego Chargers: Geno Smith, Quarterback, West Virginia Before you freak out over this one, hear me out. I don’t think the Chargers have quarterback as the top position of need, but if Smith slips to No. 6, he’s certainly worth considering here. Philip Rivers will be entering his 10th season in San Diego come August and he’s not getting any younger. At the very least, Smith can add another look for opposing defenses to prepare for. Hey, this is taking a chance, as we don’t even know who will be coaching this team next year, but it’s worth the consideration. Smith’s not a sure-thing top-five pick in my eyes, but he’s certainly an enticing selection if you’re San Diego. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/M...-Werner-121812 |

If Geno Smith is worth the #6 pick for San diego, who already has Rivers, then Smith is worth the #1 pick for the Kansas City Chiefs, who need a starting QB.
especially with the new rookie salary slotting

And so have a lot of the scouts. They all say the same thing. And they pretty much agree with me. ![]() |

Who the **** cares if Luke Joeckel is a technician or a mauler? He could literally be a time-warped resurgence of Willie Roaf, and I wouldn't draft him over Geno Smith.
Let's say it's below freezing outside and you have the chance to buy a coat. You don't spend your last dollar on a briefcase instead, no matter how good of a deal it is. You buy the ****ing coat. |

A team has NO QUARTERBACKS CURRENTLY ON THE ROSTER. Not even a shitty **** Alex Smith.
Geno Smith is too high at 1. A team that HAS A QUARTERBACK drafts him at 6. "I won't draft Geno at 1,but I would draft him at 6 when need has no bearing." .... ......... Where does this guy live? I'm going to murder him. |
