Again, I'm good with however Andy Reid decides to move forward but if it's free agency or a trade back or a second rounder or even a first rounder in 2013, I'm not going shit myself.

And it seems like 75% of this forum will shit themselves if the selection is anyone other than Geno Smith.

My problem with trying to wait until the second is that you then have to be prepared to move up if QBs start coming off the board you believe someone else is targeting your guy.

I will flip my ****ing shit if we surrender next year's 1 or 2 to move back into the first to draft a guy we should have selected at 1/1.

Really? Wow, I wouldn't. I'd actually be thrilled that they came away with two high level starters in 2013.

The window is closing, fellas. And if you put Hali in a 3 point stance, his window will close more quickly.

So the goal is wildcard weekend as quickly as possible? What happened to the real Dane?

The "Real Dane" isn't doing anything but discussing possibilities.

Discussion is a good thing, especially when the new head coach alluded to the fact that it may not be until next year that he drafts a QB.

At this point, I'm numb to it all. Nothing would surprise me.

That same head coach, when asked about the QB situation in KC, said "they have the first pick in the draft".

Honestly, what do you expect them to say when he HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET? Does anybody expect him to say in his introductory presser "we are gonna take a QB #1 overall"?

WAY too much is being read into it, IMO.

I'm not reading into anything. He said what he said.

Pretty good snapshot of how shallow this draft is in terms of elite talent. Sheldon Richardson is #17 overall on this list. I'm a Mizzou fan and I've seen every snap this kid has ever played in D1.

If he's #17 overall, that's not a great statement. He's a fine player, a nice player, but he's far from elite.

I saw a mock draft where he was going 3rd to the Faiders.

Smith will separate himself either at the Combine or at his Pro Day.
It's still VERY early.

And this is a player who should carry the "character concern" label since he fist ****ed his teammates when they needed him to become bowl eligible.

He should be a late first-rounder at best. At ****ing best.

And Geno Smith is #11 (not that I put any stock into these things before The Combines) but it seems like most people here are fine with taking the #11 talent at #1 overall.

I wonder if the Chiefs will feel the same and that's the point of my comments.

A Qb with a point value of say 90 is more valuable than any other position with a 95+ score just remember that.
