If we pass on him, how far will Geno fall?

I have a hard time seeing that. 810 was interviewing Andrew Brandt the other day who worked with both McKenzie and Dorsey and Seattle's John Schneider, who came from the same tree, and indicated that McKenzie was the more deliberate, cautious, take your time guy, Schneider was the more aggressive risk taker, and he thought Dorsey would fall somewhere in the middle. So if Oakland takes Geno, then either their scouting department is nuts, ours is out to lunch, or McKenzie is going to be doing something out of character...

I think the most likely scenario is that:

1) the "reports" about what the Chiefs are thinking are bullshit or
2) the "reports" about what the Raiders are thinking are bullshit or
3) the "reports" about BOTH teams are bullshit.

It's most likely #3.

Well, except we DO have an actual interview from Dorsey that sheds some light. Though obviously his opinion can change from now until the draft.

I have to disagree.

Dorsey has flat-out said that all of the QB's in the 2013 draft have warts and at this point, don't merit a first round grade (let alone, #1 overall). He did admit that at least two QB's will be chosen in the first round but that's due to need, not due to talent.

I don't know how that can be viewed as conjecture or bullshit or anything more than most people have been stating for the past several months.

It's a question of whether or not his statements made last week turn out to be BS after everything is said and done.

I fully expect for the ENTIRETY of the ethersphere to reverse course on these QBs starting sometime next week.

There is no logical reason to point out what's been said by every draft pundit for months on end, unless of course, he's in total agreement.

I couldn't care less what a bunch of reporters believe after the Combines next week. The mere fact that Reid and Dorsey have already examined game film, yet need to personally work each and every guy out screams to me that not only are they performing their proper Due Diligence but also that the weakness of this draft class is a reality, not fiction.
