Lots of scouts didn't think the Rams should draft Sam Bradford at 1 because he wasn't worth it. He was far from the consensus "Yep, top 5 QB. Definitely" kind of player you speak of. The ESPN crew hemmed and hawed when the Falcons picked Matt Ryan at 3. Recent history suggests that those kind of draft years are far more rare than you might think. And in those cases, what are teams supposed to do? I guess the expectation is that they keep on being doormats of the league, but by golly they will be doormats with fantastic left tackle play! When you bottom out, there's only one way to go. Up. Take the QB. Grow some balls and roll the ****ing dice. Again, if your risk pays off, your team becomes an INSTANT contender with the way the league favors the QB position. |

This team loses absolutely nothing if they draft Geno.
Absolutely nothing. The risk reward is so awesome for this team it's mind boggingly absurd that they won't draft him. Who are we missing out on? If he busts, big ****ing deal. You have Alex Smith, and you can let him fart around Arrowhead for a year or two while you attempt to find another QB prospect.

All of these media-scouts supposedly think Smith is garbage, yet Scouts, INC - who is run by Kiper and/or McShay, IIRC - graded Cam a 92 and Geno a 91, if memory serves. BTW, great post. |

Schaub? Romo? What about before that? Tom Brady? Umm... Jake Delhomme? What about before that? Matt Hasselbeck? It's a BAD BET. It has a very low probability of happening. That's why it's bad. |

Passing on Geno is an absolute embarrasing move by the team. Same shit, different year. I'd still like someone to point out a "legit" reason for not drafting him.

That said, I do believe that most people on Chiefsplanet tend to overvalue draft picks. If you look at the history of the Chiefs second round picks over the past 20 years, you're looking at a virtual wasteland. Quote:
There is some truth to that mantra, whether you agree or not. No one? Do you mean Clark Hunt and the Hunt family? Because last I checked, they're the people writing the checks. |

As far as looking at these players and trying to judge just from film/interviews, I'd say that Geno, Nassib, Barkley, Manuel and Glennon all have legitimate chances to be productive given the right situation. That's the tricky part though. Additionally, I have no idea how any of these guys are in the locker room, how they process information (both in film study and on the field) other than what's available. |

If you had to put a "bust rate" on Geno Smith, what would it be? I'm fine with people who don't think he'll be a good NFL QB, but the potential for Geno to really succeed in the league HAS to be acknowledged. There's a reason why he's the #1 QB over Barkley and friends.
What do you think the percent chance is that Geno will fail as an NFL QB? More than 50% I assume. 60? 70? With the way the Chiefs have been built and the way they want the team to play under Reid, and the way they want to roll with Alex Smith for a few seasons, I would draft Geno Smith if his QB bust rate were as high as 70. And I don't think it's that high. |
