Mock Draft

[chop]

I saw this Mock draft over at http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft and thought some of you might like to see it.

Mock Draft
Rob Rang - 10/11/2012
Team	Player
	1. Geno Smith, QB 6-3, 220, West Virginia
	2. Johnathan Hankins, DT 6-3, 320, Ohio State
	3. Jarvis Jones, OLB 6-2, 242, Georgia
	4. Star Lotulelei, DT 6-3, 320, Utah
	5. Luke Joeckel, OT 6-6, 310, Texas A&M

This is just a tease though. The Chiefs will probably go on a 6 game win streak to finish the season dropping them down a few spots.

[Valiant]

Man, we need that number 1 spot. I wat nothing to do with barkley. He is surrounded by five star talent and looks average. I do not understand why he gets so much praise. I mea if, IF, we get him, hopefully I am wrong and eat lots of crow.

Given what our record is at this point, how we're playing & that we don't have a QB, I don't see how we could possibly climb into that range but I guess we'll find out.

The way I see it, as it currently stands, it'd take a miracle to climb out of drafting in the top 10... Not that I want to see that happen anyways.

Last year was an exception to the rule. Rarely does a draft have a player of Luck's caliber, much less 2 (the last one might have been 2004 with Eli and Phillip). Right now it appears that Geno is the clear cut favorite out of this class. With QB being our biggest weakness by far (outside of HC and GM which you don't draft) you take him if you have the opportunity. To diminish him because he is not Luck or RGIII is foolish. Look at 2004, Big Ben was not Eli or Rivers (the clear cut top 2 QBs), yet he has turned out a great career that should end in Canton. If we fail with Geno, we try again till we get it right.

Smith is one of the guys on the radar for sure but, it's still early. Barkley and Wilson look promising too. In my opinion, there are several of those #1 picks that were better prospects than Smith.

I think Smith will go in the #11 - #32 range. I think KC will pick in the #10 -20 range. I agree that we will probably wind up with Smith as he is the most likely to be on the board. I think Barkley and Wilson go top 10. I will be passionate about him if we take him.

That's insane that you're Mr. Skeptical when it comes to Geno Smith, the QB who has shown by FAR the most talent out of any current NCAA QB going back three years. But Wilson and Barkley, who get their shit messed up WAY WORSE against great defenses, are likely to go in the top 10.

You can try and chalk it up to, "Don't get mad at me, it's just my prediction" but ALL evidence suggests your prediction is ****ing wrong. If Geno Smith deserves all this skepticism, then why aren't you doing the same thing to Barkley and Wilson? WHAT THE **** HAVE THOSE TWO SLAPDICKS EVER PROVED? HMM?

I mean, that's the insane ridiculous standard you're setting here. None of the QBs are Andrew Luck, so I need to shit on them all. Except you're not doing that. You're shitting only on Geno. The other two get a pass because they're white guys in a pro system.

[BossChief]

I watched a lot of RG3 and Ive watched most games of Geno this year and I have to say it. I don't really see a ton of difference in the two players AS PASSERS. RG3 seems to have more get up and go when the play breaks down, but that might ultimately hurt him long term. I think that if the Chiefs get Geno Smith and pair him with a coach like Andy Reid or even Bill Cohwer or McCoy, we would be really hard to beat NEXT YEAR.

Well all I know is if we lose out on 5. Luke Joeckel, OT
6-6, 310, Texas A&M I'm going to be pissed

Oh really, ****o? Just exactly who is the problem then? Unless you're going up the ladder to the two guys you seem to think should be able to keep their jobs next year, I'm not sure where else you could be pointing.

The national media is 1000 different types of goddamn worthless.

I ****ing hope Pissoli doesn't trade down and get us another ****ing bust

[O.city]

IMO, if you own the overall #1 pick, you likely suck shit and need a new QB anyway so you don't trade down.

per walterfootball mock 10/16

2. Kansas City Chiefs: Matt Barkley, QB, USC
The Chiefs are terrible. They need to clean house and start over. They have to fire people in the front office, including Scott Pioli, who has done an awful job. They also need to find a franchise quarterback. Luckily, they're currently projected to have a very early selection, which means they can draft either Geno Smith or Matt Barkley.

Barkley has had his ups and downs this season. but he'll be picked No. 2 overall because of the high demand for quarterbacks in the pass-heavy NFL.

FWIW...Geno went #1 to Jax.

I keep hearing from people I talk too that they don't think he will draft a QB. Have we all been brainwashed to think that Pioli will land another Brady without actually drafting one?! This would hit us hard if we were to pass this year. Hell I wouldn't complain if he drafted two.

[O.city]

First, I don't think Pioli is drafting for us this year, but if he has the #1 pick and doesn't take a Qb after all this, someone my do physical harm to him.

Someone? Try about 500 or more "someones".
