Your question doesn't make any sense, and can't be answered without considering a myriad of other factors. Your choices are great LT or journeyman QB. Why are those the choices? First, we wouldn't be getting a "Great" LT with the first pick in the draft. Anyone we chose would be an unknown, having never taken a single snap in the NFL. And journeymen QBs aren't labeled as such until it's evident that they're not franchise caliber at the NFL level. So I don't understand your choices. The draft is all about potential, and the qualities you are listing all require a great deal of proven experience to be labeled as such.
And that's still disregarding the fact that your attitude is "QB is the most important offensive position, so what?" In which I would answer, "If it's the most important position, it would make sense that it would be a higher priority than other lesser positions. Hence more patience and forgiveness in trying to fill that position properly."

Even John Oesher of Jaguars.com said Jaguars are genuinely interested and that he is warming up to the idea of taking Geno
I'm starting to get warmed up down below.

Instead, you have to assess what you think a draft prospect will become. What's his ceiling? What's his floor? How likely is he to end up at either extreme? How will he fit in my system. Etc. Then you can factor in importance of the position, need, and so forth to align your draft board. So your question (Which position is the overall offensive production more dependent on? LT or QB?) doesn't make any more sense than mine (hence the "so what?"). It's an interesting question to the extent that it explores one of many considerations that goes into making a draft pick, like mine does, but it doesn't really go far enough to give us any insight into what the Chiefs should actually do. You may well think that Geno has a good chance of being a franchise QB, but if Reid thinks he's nothing more than journeyman material, it would explain a possible non-QB pick even though you, me, and probably Reid, agree that QB is the most important position.

The chances of settling the Chiefs' QB situation for a significant period of time.

Rumor from people in the know on BleedingGreen is that Geno blew the interview because he threw Dana H under the bus. And Chip did not appreciate that being a former college coach.

Regarding what the draft prospect will become.... Well... that's the complete unknown in the equation. You cannot ever know for sure, no matter what the position. There will always be Tony Mandrich's and JaMarcus Russell's. Picking Luke Joeckel has the same bust potential as picking Geno Smith. You cannot prove otherwise. You seem convinced that QB is less safe than other positions with regards to future ability, but that's just not the case. The picks at tackle aren't any safer than the picks at QB. So why not take a risk on the one that's the more important position? If Geno looked questionable, and Joeckel looked ironclad it might be a different approach. But there's no definitive #1, so why wouldn't you choose to take the guy with the highest franchise improving potential?

Unless Reid wants to trade Albert, in which case he has a LT in mind and trading down might risk missing that guy.

I have little doubt Geno will be a Buffalo Bill. They are the most desperate at this point.
