Mike and Mike Talking about Geno going #1 overall

[The Franchise]

The thing is....no one has any clue what the Chiefs are doing right now.

No one realistically before FA thought the Chiefs were going to be THIS active. They've effectively filled 70-80% of the holes on this team before the draft.

They realistically, with the way this team is built, could draft a QB at 1.1 if they want to. That's the thing....no one has a ****ing clue what they want.

I agree with this. I think that's what makes this off-season and the Chiefs position at 1.1 in the draft so interesting/exciting.

Therein lies the problem.

The Anti-QB at 1.1 people have been shouting forever that the Chiefs will NEVER take a QB at 1.1. They can't admit that it's a legitimate ****ing possibility.

I don't think there are very many anti-QB at 1.1 people. Maybe a few, but it seems like the pro-Geno people tend to imagine that anyone who isn't all-in on Geno is anti-QB at 1.1. Maybe I'm wrong, but I know I've been accused of being anti-QB several times and that's not true at all.

I'm not anti-QB at 1.1 in any way, shape or form. There are all kinds of logical, well-thought out reasons why it would make sense to do it. I would do it, had I the power. But it isn't going to happen. Because it isn't a legitimate possibility. Not for this franchise. Allowing any glimmer of hope into your mind is just opening the door for crushing disappointment in a month.

Same thing happened with Cassel/Sanchez. A group of people held out hope the Chiefs would still take Sanchez even after giving up a 2nd for Cassel and speaking highly of him.

HUGE DIFFERENCE.

We wouldn't be paying Geno Smith a $50-$60 million contract.

Cassel wasn't a 29 year old QB that had a long history of being nothing more than a game manager. He still had upside.

Alex Smith is a known quantity...

An injury prone game manager that is a good game manager/stopgap.

Also, Geno will be cheap, where Sanchez would have cost 60m

Wait, what?

Cassel had upside?!?! Whaaaa???

Cassel was a 28-year old career clipboard-holder who'd never played in college, and had one unremarkable season calling plays for one of the most loaded offenses in the league. Upside? Who in the world outside of Scott Pioli's office ever thought for a second he'd be anything? You can at least make the (completely vacuous) argument that Alex Smith is on an upward career trajectory. Cassel was a complete non-entity.

Good grief, dude.

There it is. For a team like the Jets or Eagles or Redskins if they were in our position, QB at #1 would absolutely have to still be considered.

But the Kansas City Chiefs don't work that way. It's not in their DNA for some reason. Don't know if that's a Hunt thing or that they just unluckily happen to hire guys all the time who don't believe in investing at the QB position.

I brought it up already....but what if the Texans were in our spot? Who would they take? I bet everyone would mock them Geno because Matt Schaub is average and they would be looking for the future. Nope...not the Chiefs though.

LOL I can't wait til after draft day when he goes somewhere else, you people will start making threads about how the FO is planning to trade for Geno. You are delusional if you think there is any chance Geno Smith or any other high pick qb is coming to the Chiefs. It's.not.happening.

John Dorsey flat out said we aren't taking a qb at 1...shortly after (when asked if they would take a qb at all) he said it depends on how the picks fall and even said he would like to keep his options open.

I have little doubt they are gonna add a qb in the draft, just depends on who and when.
