Geno Smith fans roll call
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: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...postcount=5388 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 #1:

GIF #2:

GIF #3 (My favorite):
Spoiler!
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 Last edited by RealSNR; 01-04-2013 at 12:32 PM.. |

I'll probably get flamed for this, but i'll put it out there.
I like Geno alot as a prospect, I also like Wilson and Bray alot as prospects. But whoever we draft, there is going to have to be a good coaching staff and support system in place for them to succeed. |

i'm fine with smith, wilson, and barkley (even though I'm worried about his upside)...Bray seems like a big risk but Smith is a cut above them all, for me...passing on him will kill me (only the 392837457434th time the chiefs would have killed a fan) i'm just not down with drafting the 4th best QB in order to pick a ****ing LB at #1

No worse than I will get flamed for this...
We don't just need a QB on offense. We need to give him some weapons to succeed. I'd be spending the next 3 to 4 picks on WR's, and a TE. When McCluster is the best we can throw on the field... that position needs a lot of help. I'd resign Bowe and then draft speed WR's. A couple three of them and cut the losses with Baldwin and the likes. And if the QB fails after 3 or 4 years... I'd draft another one early. |

The player is a huge part of the equation, but coaching staff and surrounding support system are a good chunk too. |

our second round pick for sure, at least, should be the best offensive weapon available for our rookie QB

Bowe and Breaston are fine as starters. We do need to bring in a slot guy because DMC doesn't cut it and it should be obvious now.
All in favor of grabbing another TE because you just never know with Brokeaki. After QB I'd like to see these positions addressed: WR DL CB S TE As needed, based on value available.

Thats pretty much where I am.
I don't want the 4th best QB so we can have another defensive player because the "value" isn't there. I want the absolute top rated QB in the class, and I want this franchise to go all in on him. I'm talking Burt Reynolds spreads at every entrance and on every season ticket. The guy needs to be groomed from day one and told "you will be the face of this franchise for the next decade". |

Yep, we're so concerned about the #1 overall, we sometimes forget that we also get the 33rd overall as well. That should get us a damn good WR.

I for one will continue advocating for a pass-catching TE until we actually go and get one.
A good TE is a young QBs BEST friend. If we're going to take a WR, I'd take Tavon Austin - he's essentially a poor man's Percy Harvin or a rich man's Dexter McCluster. Guys like that help a young QB immensely too because you can dump the ball to them in space and they can do things with it. |

He grew right out of them, and will continue to improve the next couple years. He'll be jaw-dropping amazing when he hits his prime. But he still went through growing pains. Geno will go through growing pains. |

WR, we need some speed. S, I'm gonna throw some money at Byrd from Buffalo, he's a stud at FS. Berry at SS and Byrd at FS is pretty studly. CB should be a fairly big need, and I'd actually like to see us maybe flip a pick too the Eagles for DRC. And at DL, I'd seriously hope the Faid release Seymour like they are rumored to be contemplating. |
