Geno Smith fans roll call

[RealSNR]

NEW THREAD HEADER (11/17/12):

The list is gone. We will all be Geno Smith fans when he gets drafted by the Chiefs. For historical documentation's sake, I'll keep the list in a separate post on this thread: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...postcount=3314

WHY GENO SMITH?
If you're wondering if Geno Smith is right for you, check out this brilliant post by Saccopoo:

Next, we have a few GIFs you may be interested in from the Oklahoma game. Insane potential. These are the elite throws that very few QBs can make. What more can I say? Geno Smith can be a franchise QB in the NFL, and the Chiefs need to take a shot on him.

GIF #3 (My favorite):

HOW DO WE GET HIM HERE?

Glad you asked. I posted this checklist earlier. It probably belongs in the thread header, and will be updated as the Chiefs close out their season and start a new chapter in their franchise story.

Preparing for Geno Smith's Arrival In KC Checklist

1. [X] Lose games and acquire the #1 overall pick
2. [X] Get Pioli and the Patriot Way cronies the **** out
3. [X] Hire new GM/coach

OPTIONAL (but highly recommended):
4. [ ] Re-sign/tag Bowe, who really wants to play in KC with Geno
5. [ ] Re-sign/tag Albert

Berry, Lewis (I know his injuries) with Elam as backup (and who knows about Menzie) form a fine safety tandem. The Chiefs D need a #2 CB way more than another safety and they also need better play from Dlinemen to put pressure on the QB and stop the run way before they need to improve their safeties. Do you guys know that the Chiefs D is better against the pass than against the run? And you think a FS would help greatly our run D...no.

I'm definitly against drafting a safety with our 2nd rounder, even as BPA.

Every elite D has a star on its Dline, and despite the Chiefs having attempted to draft several ones early in the draft, they have yet to find one.

At ILB I like Kevin Minter, Shayne Skov, Jon Bostic, Nico Johnson. There's also Kevin Reddick and AJ Klein.

At corner I'm high on Xavier Rhodes.


I expect Sharrif Floyd, if he declares, to skyrocket up draft boards, but if he somehow slips to the 2nd round the Chiefs better run to the podium.

AJ Klein could be a real sleeper. He certainly doesn't have the name recognition that some of his predecessors had but in many ways, he's a superior prospect.

I like Xavier Rhodes but again I think he's probably going in the mid-teens, which means we'd have to trade down or give up a lot to trade up.

I like Minter a whole whole lot. I think he's the perfect TED backer, same with Skov.

Jefferson and Reid are perfect FS's. I'm not sure about Elam yet.

Rhodes would be a solid CB.

Some of these guys will make it to the third or fourth round.

Geno
Rhodes
Reed
Minter
Jefferson

Would be extremely lucky with that draft.

I still like Jon Baldwin and don't think we can judge him or Devon Wylie based upon the QBs and coaching staff we've had during their time here. Regardless, there are a ton of good WRs available in this years draft.

solid draft for WRs too

Rambo would be excellent value in the 3rd...i hope his suspension causes him to drop, i'm a fan

There is also a FS prospect from Fresno that I've been keeping up on after Sac spotted him.

i had forgotten about menzie...no clue what to expect from him

After the Oline fascination with Chiefs fans, the safeties fascination??

Chiefs fans might be disgusted by the recent Chiefs draft picks on the Dline, but that D will never be elite until it can find better Dlinemen.

[O.city]

Tyson Hartman has actually been decent at FS, not that he's a starter but he's shown that he could be depth.

Good grief, just looked at the Safeties in this class, it's absolutely stacked. 2-4 rounds there will be a solid FS prospect there.

If Eric Reid is available in the 3 round, he's our guy.

D-linemen can be found in the middle rounds...

I would guess you are probably right. But if he gets to 31, he might last another couple of picks which would be right where we would be picking in round 2.

If we change to a 1 gap fire zone 34, I'd be fine with spending a higher pick on a DL guy, but I actually am fairly high on Poe, Bailey, and Powe up there. Hell I even think Jackson could serve some purpose.


Even then, I don't think it needs a high pick up there.


And, I'm really hoping that the Faid release Seymour like they are rumored.

If he drops to the 30's, we can trade up and not be out much.

[the Talking Can]

this is where the pick for Carr would be a major boon...4 picks in the first 3 rounds, should be able to do some damage

Mistakes?

He threw for five less interceptions this past season than Luck did in 2011. And Luck had three NFL level offensive linemen protecting him and the luxury of a top 20 defense.

Smith threw for a 70.1% completion, 40 TDs against 6 Ints and a 164 rating while pushing the envelope all game long because his defense was utter dog shit and his offensive line was a ****ing sieve.

He was routinely making 45/50 yard passes to guys in stride while they double covered. And they were on the ****ing money.

Geno gave WVU the potential for three wins that their defense lost in the last minute of so of the game(s). They were this close to being a 10-2 team because of Geno. They were a 7-5 team because their defense pissed away three game winning fourth quarter drives by Geno.

We need a starter. Lewis isn't the answer.

Secondly, we just spent a first rounder on Poe. Let him develop FFS.

Thirdly, I stated that if Sharrif Floyd declares and is still on the board after round 1 that the Chiefs sprint to the podium. He can play 3-4 DE and move to the interior and rush the passer on 3rd downs like Jackson has done the last few weeks.
