Fox Sports Poll: Who Should the Chiefs Draft at No. 1?
Dec 20. It’s a very weak quarterback class. Matt Barkley is not a first round talent. Geno Smith is not worthy of the top overall pick. Using the NFL’s overall standings following Week 15, here's my latest top 32 and the places I could see college football’s top talent ending up. 1. Kansas City Chiefs: Luke Joeckel, Offensive tackle, Texas A&M* The Chiefs are due for a change at the quarterback position, that’s for sure. I’m just not sure that quarterback is in this draft. Make no mistake about it — there’s no Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III in this 2013 draft class. There may not be a Ryan Tannehill, Nick Foles, Brock Osweiler, Brandon Weeden or Russell Wilson, either. I’ll get clobbered for this and so might their front office, but I think Kansas City is better off acquiring a veteran quarterback (Alex Smith or Matt Flynn, perhaps) than rolling the dice on a rookie quarterback who’s unworthy of the top overall selection for the sake of drafting one. Joeckel is one of the most promising offensive tackle prospects I’ve seen in the past five years. Very athletic. Nimble. He was fantastic in Mike Sherman’s scheme and even better in Kliff Kingsbury’s. This may not inspire the fan base, but it’s a franchise cornerstone. 6. San Diego Chargers: Geno Smith, Quarterback, West Virginia Before you freak out over this one, hear me out. I don’t think the Chargers have quarterback as the top position of need, but if Smith slips to No. 6, he’s certainly worth considering here. Philip Rivers will be entering his 10th season in San Diego come August and he’s not getting any younger. At the very least, Smith can add another look for opposing defenses to prepare for. Hey, this is taking a chance, as we don’t even know who will be coaching this team next year, but it’s worth the consideration. Smith’s not a sure-thing top-five pick in my eyes, but he’s certainly an enticing selection if you’re San Diego. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/M...-Werner-121812 |

So Geno Smith isn't worthy of the number one pick but he is worthy to replace an established franchise QB with the 6th pick?
**** YOU!

So what are the qualifications to create these mocks? Be a total dumb ass and write in LT for the Chiefs year after year after year?
Seriously, I want to know. I might be able to supplement my income by producing this level to utter crap. |

Franchise OTs rule.
I'm not sure hwo much it's changed, but SB winning teams barely hve any 1st round lineman as starters. I haven't revisted it, but I Think as of this past April-ish, I think there might have been 1. 1sts should only be used on (in no order); Pass Rushers, QB, CBs, WR, and possibly Safety. Playmakers that can change the game on a single play. 1st round lineman get you nothing in terms of moving closer to get to a SB.

If he's worth rolling the dice at 6, he's worth rolling the dice at 1. Either way, drafting a middling tackle prospect certainly isn't going to be the move to turn the franchise around. Joeckel is not Orlando Pace. He's not even close. Hell, he's not even Jake Long. This is just the "safe pick" philosophy that should have gone out the door with the new CBA and rookie pay scale.

The Chiefs haven't developed a Qb ever. It might be a good time to try.

Joeckel is the perfect LT prospect, but this is just dumb.
