Any young QB's worth trading out of the 1st overall for?

[Shox]

Comparing Kaepernick to Cassel is totally unfair. What did Cassel do in college.....carried a clip board. Kaepernick put about zillion yards and was in the Heisman talk for a while. So trading for him would be equal to drafting a 1st round rookie QB. With that said I would rather the Chiefs take a different approach and draft their own QOF.....as long as it is not another Matt from USC.

Geno needs to a Chief.

Pick Geno in the 1st, and don't **** around or get cute with the pick.

That's my fear, especially if Pioli is here is we trade down from one or two to 7 or 8 and miss out on our QB

If Pioli is here during draft in general all hope and trust is lost in the franchise

Some dumbass caller on 810 wanted to trade our first round pick to Seattle for their first round pick and Matt Flynn.

Probably, Pioli's secretary

The Chiefs should draft a QB in the first, another in the 3rd or 4th, and pick up one in free agency. Because I don't want any of the mother****ers we have now to even sniff the locker room next year, and I want to make sure we hit on at least one QB.

*and btw, we better get somebody who knows how to develop a QB, because anybody that thinks Kaepernick would have looked like that playing for the Chiefs coaching staff has been sniffing too much glue.

Spending a first and a third on two different QB's in the same year, when the Chiefs have needs elsewhere, is ridiculous.

Plus, why would you put your OC and QB coach in a position to develop not one but two rookies?

Util this team gets a franchise QB all other needs are irrelevant...

God I hope you guys are right about Geno. I wish I could get the TCU game out of my head. I've seen the Baylor, TCU and OU games and if it weren't for the TCU game, I wouldn't feel the slightest bit of apprehension about the dude. Don't get me wrong, I think he's bad ass....just wish I could get that TCU shit out of my mind.

NFL fans around the league have been absolutely spoiled by RGIII and Luck over the past two years. It seems like people have forgotten that Rookies are rarely ever a "sure thing." To underline this analysis, I would compare Geno's current season to Matthew Stafford's senior year. Matthew Stafford's Georgia team entered the 2008 season as the unquestioned #1 in the league, and while Stafford had a solid season, he had a few disappointing showings against the toughest SEC teams in the conference. Because of this, many fans on here were hesitant to select him (when we were in the running.)

However, Detroit took the leap, and it seems to have worked out for them thus far.

And that's the thing with most rookie quarterbacks, when it comes down to it, teams are almost always going to have to take a leap of faith that he will be a franchise guy. If not? Cut your losses, and try it again in the next five years.

Even if it took a couple of tries, a team would likely see success (a playoff win) within 20 years using that formula.

TCU was his worst game of the year, and those kinds of outings happen all the time. The thing about it is if WV wins that game, it doesn't look nearly as bad. You can blame Geno's choketime defense for the L, though.

In the meantime, though, the TCU game was a large collection of Geno's worst plays of the year, where he forced the ball WAY too much and made a lot of dumb decisions. That being said, he also had a handful of stupendous plays in that game (like he does every game).

It has and always will come down to this bottom line until April: Geno Smith has all the things you can't teach, including outstanding pocket awareness. That alone is why you should take him with the #1 overall pick. If he gets with a good QB coach, he can and probably will become one of the league's top QBs. That''s what I call value at the first overall pick.
