Granted, it depends on the Eagles really liking Geno (and the Raiders not taking Floyd at #3), but it sure seems feasible to me. Easiest route would be to take Geno at 1.1 and if the Eagles like him enough to come to us, and Floyd is still at 4, you have 15 minutes (IIRC) to get the deal done. And suddenly we've had the most interesting draft the team has ever had, IMO.

Although I gotta say, I'd be extremely disappointed if we took a QB at 1, then traded him away. Would be fitting for the Chiefs fans though. TBH, if I'm the Chiefs knowing how QB needy I am and another team is willing to trade up for a QB, I probably re think my eval on said QB. |

Manuel gives you the Culpepper/Big Ben massive upside option, Foles gives you a tolerable fallback position if Manuel doesn't slide or doesn't develop. Though I understand this scenario is completely unpalatable for folks that don't like Manuel. I'm just not in that group - I kinda like EJ.

But I want Smith or Barkley at the top of the draft. |

But again, I'm not sure that they would fit into the offense Reid wants to run. |

Problem with Foles is that we've seen that he isn't a very good down field passer to this point.

DeSean Jackson isn't, but Bowe and Maclin have the strength and body control to take some of the rough edges off Foles if Foles can just learn to make balls catchable, if not balls-on.

Brings me back to an earlier point, I'm pretty tired of watching QB's with less than stellar accuracy in KC. If you could sell me on a downfield system like Flacco and the Ravens have, I could get on board and we know that can win obviously. We've talked about how Flacco and Eli aren't in teh elite class therefor you don't need one to win. That's true, they aren't in that class, but they played at an elite level in the playoffs leading their team to SB wins. I don't think you necessarily need like you use to, an elite guy at QB ala Brady, Manning Brees Rodgers etc, but you need a QB who can play at an elite level at times. |

fans on this board would not be able to handle having the QB they wanted and then seeing a pick swap 3 picks later

We draft Geno and then trade him?

Dang Bray's got small hands. But he's only 5 pounds less than Manuel who I thought was a pretty big guy in general. Just think if he had bigger hands he'd be the QB in the draft with the strongest arm.
And the black guy has the biggest hands. Go figure. |
