If someone wants Geno more than Jax, a trade will happen.
Simple.

If not, then you'll have a few teams playing chicken with each other and scheduling workouts with Geno. The Chiefs at that point would be wise to just let the process play out and see which team really falls in love with the guy. Coaches are involved now and coaches are what really make shit happen. When it's just the scouts, they can look dispassionately at Geno and say "eh, good QB...not great". When Doug Marrone gets in the room, however, he may very well turn to his scouts, tell them to and say "That's the guy I'm building my team around. Get Nix on the phone; we're making this happen". Now is the time that the human element surfaces and strange things start to happen. That's why the Chiefs will get a good price for Geno if they want it.

QB's always get hyped and pimped as the draft approaches. Barkley is going to look good also and then there will be arguments over who should go first Barkley or Smith.
Tannehill got the treatment last year, Locker/Ponder the year before. It's a QB driven league and it's the sexy position to talk about. I think it's funny that they wait until his pro day to decide to turn on the media machine. It's not like he was a different QB yesterday than he was at WVU. It's not like he had a weak arm in college.

Because this isn't Madden. There isn't one great big draft board in the sky that determines what Geno is 'worth'.
There are 32 teams and 100s of people that are all assigning their own values to each player. Somebody is going to believe Geno is worth that pick and probably multiple somebodies. Moreoever, some guys like Nix or even the Cardinals may not think he's truly 'worth' the 1.1 but that they have no choice but to take him to energize the fanbase. His worth is set by the market, not some idiot goombah with a slicked back haircut and an overblown reputation for draft prognosticating. And the market will absolutely support the Chiefs getting a couple of high picks for him, even if Andy doesn't think he's worth 1.1.

Got ya. I think there is a better chance than you are saying. If he nailed it like they say, and andy was impressed with him at the combine as they say, I don't think he would pass him up. If they do, we have the wrong regime. Again.

This could be good news for the Chiefs no matter what happens. As the NFL experts always say, you only need one team to fall in love with a player. And if this causes Smith to jump up the Chiefs board to one, all the better. I think Reid and Dorsey will take a QB with any of their picks if they see him as the best available at that spot.

I don't think they can get up and definitively say Alex Smith is the starter and then take a QB 1.1.

take him anyway even if they don't want him, then see if anyone later in the draft wants to trade for him?
is that possible, or is that moranic?

This would be hilarious.
The Chiefs trade with the Eagles for their #4 pick. The Anti-Geno people scream from the rooftops that they knew what they were talking about. The Chiefs would never draft a QB in the 1st round. Then the Chiefs take Matt Barkley at #4. |
