The reality is that QB is the hardest position to pick, and the analysts will only say a QB is elite if he fits their prototype mold of big size, rocket arm, amazing accuracy, big winner in college, experience in pro-style offense, multiple years as a starter, etc. It is a much easier gig to pick apart a player's potential flaws than go out on a limb for a guy. |

Big size: 6'3'', 214 seems pretty big. Rocket arm: Ever see the velocity on Geno's ball? Amazing accuracy: Well his accuracy's gone up every year, at 75% this season. Big winner in college: 9-4 as a Soph Starter, 10-3 as a JR and Orange Bowl mvp. Does that count? Experience in a pro-style offense: It doesn't get much more pro-style than the Bill Stewart/Jeff Mullen offense he ran as a soph when he completed nearly 2/3 of his passes and had better than a 3-1 TD/INT ratio. Multiple years as a starter: Is 3 okay? Scouts don't like Geno Smith because scouts never like Senior quarterbacks unless they do crazy shit like run 4.40 40s. Geno Smith is what you're looking for in an NFL quarterback. He's excelled over a long period. He's excelled in different systems. He has the size and skills to excel and even brings some bonus tools like his quick release to the party (so that shouldn't need to be tinkered with). You'll need to work on his feet a little, they can be inconsistent. You'll also want to work on his reads, as is the case with any QB that wasn't Andrew Luck. In the end, if the Chiefs pass on this kid they will regret it for a very long time.

It's like this every year and the scouts are hardly perfect (see Rodgers, Brees, Big Ben, etc falling out of the top ten).
That said, Geno is the only QB I am excited about taking with a top three pick. He is the next Donovan McNabb. Which means we'll probably take Barkley. |

Surely Geno Smith and Matt Barkley aren't worse QB prospects than Ryan Tannehill and I'd be happy to have a Tannehill on this team, though of course I wish we can get a better prospect than him.
