I'm not saying that. I don't think there is really a situation that stands out where Alex Smith would walk in and not be asked to compete for a starting job though. Let's be realistic about Alex Smith and the kind of QB he is.

So if he had to choose between a team not drafting a QB in the first round and horrible QBs currently, and the chiefs who might be taking Geno Smith #1 overall, you think he would go with the Chiefs?

You are delusional lol.

You are putting words in my mouth. What is the guarantee that any of the QB needy teams don't draft a QB in the first round.

All I'm saying is that anyway you swing it, Smith is going to have to compete for a job and will have to live w/ the very real possibility that a QB needy team that takes him in still drafts a QB. The Chiefs aren't alone here. If you think that any of the first 9 teams (other than the Lions) wouldn't take a QB in the first round, you are the delusional one my friend. Here is the list of those 8 teams. Smith is going to have no guarantees, regardless of where he ends up.

Now, yes, maybe he says "KC could draft Geno #1" and says no to them. But again, any of Chiefs, Jags, Raiders, Eagles, Browns, Cardinals, Bills, or Jets could also draft Geno (all pick in the top 10). In all likelihood though, he's going to take the team that gives him the most money (somewhat symbolic of their commitment to him) and go in and compete.

I think you are overrating Blaine Gabbert if you seriously think he will have to "Compete".

Unless the competition is "Don't close your eyes on a blitz".

There will be several teams in need of a QB that won't be drafting one in the first round. My avatar is a good hint at one.

DJ you bring up a good point. Coach Reid will fit his offense to fit his personnel present. This isn't the Eagles roster. How the roster is situated currently, it fits a WCO QB like Alex Smith. Maybe the newly drafted QB fits the Philly mold more so but until we add the WR pieces to fit, it won't make much of a difference who we have at QB.

There isn't a big difference between a 2nd and 3rd round QB IMO. In this draft class especially.
