I'm not stating that they can't fill these holes. But they're not filled yet.

They have 3 top 100 picks AFTER the first overall and those are positions that are deep and talented. No question we will be able to draft a starting linebacker there.

There are two intriguing guys at safety that cod surprise.

Menzie and Abdullah.

If Reid/Dorsey don't agree, there should be options at 96.

Abdullah doesn't intrigue me at all, personally.

I'm back and forth on believing that. It's odd that after watching all his game tapes, meeting him at the combine that they are just now becoming enamored with him.

Source told me that the trade for Alex Smith was agreed to before the combine. I think La Conforia reported the same thing when the trade broke but I'm not sure.

The Wednesday announcement came after the Chiefs got a chance to talk to Alex and make sure he wanted to come here.

That would at least lend to the fact that they may really like Geno. I'll say this that the 2 day visit in KC is really compelling about all of this.

If he wows them, he very well may be the pick.

I legitimately think they are undecided at this point. I think it's between 5 guys - Joeckel, Fisher, Geno, Ansah and Jordan.

I think that most posters here (even the pro-Geno ones) would be OK with a number of players, provided that we can trade back and get good compensation for it.

4 years, 17 million
8 guaranteed

Cool ranch or nacho cheese?

I worry that they made the trade for Alex Smith before they effectively did due diligence on all the potential draft picks.

This is straight up Chiefs porn

Also don't really get the Ansah love, yeah he has tremendous physical upside, but he's just so raw. Thats a bit scary to take that high.

**Dave Lane** · 03-28-2013, 10:08 PM

I say we fly a banner over the stadium that says:

"This is the Smith we really need at QB"

During his visit.

I'm in for $100 to make it happen

In a draft that lacks any real top end talent, I don't really fear taking someone like him.

I think the banner flying has served its purpose.

I agree and especially in this draft when we're eyeing trading down.

That would ruin everything for them.

I understand the OLB love. His tape isn't bad at all when he's playing as a 3-4 OLB.

I don't understand people trying to make him a 3 or 4 tech (cough, cough, penbrook). That's just ****ing idiocy.

No Lane Johnson? It seems like he is very high on their list.
