Just how valuable is a QB?

Oh my God.....Kiper said Geno Smith should be ranked anywhere from 25-32. If Dorsey drafts him...he's a reach. Or maybe Dorsey feels completely different about Geno Smith and deems him worthy of the #1 pick.

**** the so called "Draft Experts" and their rankings. They don't mean shit other than they watch a shit ton of tape and they think they know what they're talking about.

That fair and everything, but it's almost entirely a consensus at this point.

You can claim the consensus ain't worth much, but it's a consensus of people with a reasonable degree of knowledge.

The consensus that matters is the one among NFL GM's and on NFL draft boards. We don't get to see that consensus until draft day.

We see a somewhat filtered and distorted picture of it through the NFL draft media though. These guys don't all just go it alone and put together their draft prognostications in a darkened room watching youtube videos. Some of them may do it that way, but others include information (and disinformation) they get from the teams. To throw it all out the window and pretend that we have no idea what teams are going to do is naive. Especially when a solid consensus appears to have developed.

If you had to guess which player was more likely to fall to the 2nd round, would you pick Luke Joeckel or Geno Smith?
