Geno Smith hopes the Chiefs are serious about drafting him

By Josh Katzowitz | NFL Writer

About a month before we all meet in New York for the 2013 NFL Draft, now is the time of the year when the team drafting first overall starts sending up smokescreens. The Chiefs most likely are no different.

Though five of our six mock drafters think Kansas City will take an offensive tackle at No. 1 -- either Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel or Central Michigan's Eric Fisher -- the Chiefs are putting out word that's not necessarily true.

So, the team's official Twitter account shows pictures of coaches working out Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd, and coach Andy Reid slyly talks about the talents of West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith.

The goal could be to entice other teams who might want a Floyd or a Smith to potentially trade up with the Chiefs in order to grab the player whom those other squads might want. But Smith, for one, hopes Kansas City's supposed interest in him is really true.

“I hope Kansas City is legitimately interested. I hope I go No. 1. But, hey, we'll see,'' Smith told USA Today in a phone interview. "The Chiefs are bringing me in, so I'm going in there thinking that they're interested [in me], because I am in them.

"I'm just going to do what I've always done, try and impress them, just be myself and allow the process to do its job and get ready for whoever drafts me. I'll be going Monday to Friday, working out for different teams.”

It seems unlikely the Chiefs, who will work him out Monday, would draft Smith in the first round, particularly since they just gave up two second-round draft picks in a trade for Alex Smith and because there are still plenty of questions about Smith's NFL prospects (even though he's probably the top quarterback prospect coming out of college this season).

For the record, our mock drafters have Smith going anywhere from No. 3 to Oakland down to No. 8 to Buffalo. But Smith also could be mighty tempting for the Chiefs.

As USA Today points out, “Smith ran an impressive, 4.56-second, 40-yard dash at the scouting combine, and followed that with a 60-of-64 pro day performance on March 14. He has received strong reviews from teams he's met with, including new Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus Bradley (after his pro day) and new Eagles coach Chip Kelly, general manager Howie Roseman and owner Jeffrey Lurie (after a workout two days before his pro day).”

It seems likely that Smith will hear his name within the first 10 picks on the first night of the draft, although CBSSports.com's Pete Prisco isn't sure he'd take Smith within the first 20 picks. It probably won't be with Kansas City, but, hey, maybe the Chiefs aren't sending out a smokescreen and really are thinking about drafting Smith.

At this time of the year, it's impossible to know one way or the other.

That's not counting the game against the rams that he played about the first qtr.

it ended up a tie.

They were 5-2 in the regular season with kapernick.

Not really "taking off"

ya and the 9ers were very methodical with smith playing QB during 2012. the offense was really starting to click.

r8ers is nuts as usual -- cassel isn't even worthy of backing up ponder.

That probably means they want him. I think it's best to believe the opposite of everything you here a month before the draft.

You've been around too many shit QBs to know what you're talking about.

Christ, at least the Chiefs had Trent Green for awhile. You haven't had that level of QB play or better since Gannon.

Yep so the B Albert trade rumors and us getting Joeckel is a smokescreen.

Come on... Surely you got more piss and vinegar running through your veins than that.

If SNR gives you what you want, it might give you the idea that you can make demands on the Warden.

You're a ****ing idiot, don't get me wrong, but you're not trolling right now. You're just being stupid, that's all. Not really worth my time to chew you out.

Matt Cassel would not beat those four teams I mentioned if he played for the 49ers. Maybe Buffalo, since San Francisco shut them out. But Seattle would be too tough for him (see his record against good teams going back to his time with the Patriots). Green Bay was a near shootout, where he would have to score at least 23 points, not counting all the extra points he'd give up just for going 3 and out all the time like he usually does. And the same goes for Detroit, who, while not very good, put up 20 points on the tough San Francisco defense.

You can't tell me that a QB who relies as much as he does on Jamaal Charles busting deep runs would succeed on an offense with only Frank Gore and a great TE. That offense would be coughing and sputtering almost as much as it did when he QBed for Kansas City.

Some guy is claiming that Millner is visiting the Dolphins tommorow and not the Chiefs.
