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.

Cheap shotting donkies aiming for a second concussion won't happen. Del Rio is no Williams...

Steve McNair was a (relatively high, though not a 1.1) first round pick and rode the bench for TWO seasons. Worked out well for the Titans.

Poor Chiefs can't catch a break... Out of the past 30 years to have the #1 pick, this has to be the worst yr to have it.

Matt Flynn.

Just say the words.

While the Chiefs have Alex Smith for two years and then transition to the Geno Smith Experience.

Suck it hard loser.

Chiefs will draft Geno Smith.

You can count on that..

Matt Flynn may very well be a waste but we need a QB while we rebuild... If he does not work out we are out 11 mill after 2 years.... Pretty cheap for a starting QB in the NFL ... Just because he did not start in Seattle does not mean he is garbage... Seattle got lucky and found their guy in the 3rd round for much cheaper..

He is an unknown to me and should be to most everyone else too but man you have Alex Smiff.. Alex Freaking Smiff... I swear when Singletary had him, he was so bad, I thought he would be as big a bust as Russel and Leaf...

Bump · 03-31-2013, 01:15 PM

I wish we were serious.

So ****ing reeruned. Alex ****ing Smith. JFC.

Three7s · 03-31-2013, 01:16 PM

Geno, I really hope you go to a winner that actually has the balls to give you a chance. It sure won't be this crapfest of a franchise. I'll be rooting for you!

If the Geno slides to 3 and the Raiders draft him it will be hilarious to watch the transformation around here. He will go from franchise QB to a reach pick. I hope if he does slide Oakland let's the slide continue. As far as Flynn sadly I have to hope for the best. Raider fans will need to weather this season and projections show them sitting pretty in cap space for the first time it what seems like forever. I would be very pleased if KC takes Smith~

That would be hilarious... But I would be pissed, I seriously don't want him and obviously only the CP users do that I have seen.
