I think it's a given we will draft a QB. My guess is Dorsey and Reid have targeted someone in a later round though.

I am not discussing/debating what the team SHOULD do with the QB position. I'm talking about what they ARE doing. I just don't see how/why they would give up draft picks for Alex Smith and then turn around and give up the 1st pick of the draft for Geno Smith. If they didn't give up that much for Alex Smith then all bets are off and we'll see.

We're just a bunch of armchair GM/Coaches here giving our opinions on what we see (and think is pretty obvious). These guys are pros at what they do and know tenfold more than all of us put together. There's just no way they saw the combo of Cassel/Quinn/Stanzi/Tanney and thought they could challenge for a championship. It would take a minimum of TWO QB's to make us relevant/competitive imho, and personally, I couldn't care less how many picks or how much money they spent to fix it. Remember, Reid has had at least above average QB play with all his guys in Philly, and Dorsey has watched Favre and Rodgers do their thing. No way do they stand pat and hope that just one free agent is going to fix this mess. |

Just don't see this happening. Andy Reid just confirmed Alex Smith is his guy. It makes no sense to give up that much compensation just to have the guy replaced in 2014 or 2015.
Reid let us know what he thought of this QB class when he quickly made this deal with SF.

I guess we'll know once (if) the trade actually goes through what they really think. If Alex is THE GUY with nobody to push him, they will tear up his contract and re-sign him to a fat new one. |

It would be monumentally stupid to draft him now that they have 2 seconds wrapped up in Smith, or whatever it is. The team has too many holes to do something crazy like spend 4 or 5 second round picks worth of value on the starting and backup QBs - not to mention wrapping $15 million or more in cap space up by acquiring a luxury backup.
Trading down is the only thing that makes any kind of sense. If Geno was their guy, they'd have not purposed to not only look into Alex Smith but to WIN the bidding for him, and to do so at a price that made most people balk. And the idea they got Smith to go for this and then will bring in someone to challenge him for the job is equally dumb. We haven't even heard details of the contract extension Smith has agreed to yet. Once that comes out, this will be even more silly. |

That's because there have been zero offers for a contract extension. We can't negotiate anyway, but the "insider" sources claim the Chiefs aren't interested at least in the short term in getting Alex a new deal

It's not stupid to throw picks at the QB position. It's stupid to keep throwing picks at defensive or offensive line positions.
You people understand that quarterback is your make or break position of ALL the positions on the field, right? You really shouldn't care how many draft picks or how much money goes into the position, as long as they get it right. |

No, it would be addressing the complete failure of this franchise to address the QB position over the last 40 years.
