Chiefs Chiefs should pick...

whoman69 · 11-23-2012, 06:22 PM

There has been quite a bit of talk that the QB class in this class is so weak that even with our need that we should pick another position. Who should be the first pick for the Chiefs assuming we get top pick? Not interested if its Scott Pioli or someone more sane to make the pick.

Geno or bust!

**BigMeatballDave** · 11-23-2012, 06:25 PM

Smith, Wilson, or Bray

Need another LSU defensive lineman

**Rain Man** · 11-23-2012, 06:30 PM

Can someone give me a concise description of the available quarterbacks? I haven't paid any attention at all, but it seems like there are several available. What are their arm strengths, ability to read defenses, pocket presence, scrambling, etc.?

Barkley, Smith, or Wilson. I don't have much of a preference(although I am leaning towards Wilson but...) I'd be happy with any of them. They all have their pros and cons but I think any of them would be an upgrade.

Wilson or Smith. We'll see how they perform at pro days and such. One will seperate.

3. Tyler Wilson, Arkansas

Tyler Wilson has enjoyed a consistent career with the Arkansas Razorbacks.

After backing-up Ryan Mallet, Wilson stepped in last year and threw 24 scores to just six picks. Include a 63.2 completion percentage and Arkansas finished a strong 11-2. This season unfortunately, Wilson has slightly regressed.

Even before starting and then through 2011, he had the luxury of targeting Greg Childs, Jarius Wright and Joe Adams.

All were gone thereafter and it's clearly affected Wilson and the Razorbacks offensive explosion. On the bright side, Wilson is faring well through 2012 with 18 touchdowns to 10 picks and a 60.9 completion percentage.

Presenting solid size, underrated mobility and an impressive arm, Wilson suits the Jacksonville Jaguars to a T.

Blanie Gabbert continues to struggle and Chad Henne remains Mike Mularkey's other option. Well, it's realistic for Wilson to be available in the beginning of the second round since few teams need a quarterback right away.

2. Matt Barkley, USC

If there's an NFL-ready quarterback in the 2013 draft, it's Matt Barkley.

He possesses the experience, size, arm strength, decision-making and mechanics to make an immediate impact. Last season Barkley tossed 39 touchdowns to only seven picks while connecting on 69.1 percent of his passes.

This season is eerily similar with 33 touchdowns to 13 picks and a 64.8 completion percentage. Obviously, Barkley's getting help from stud receivers like Robert Woods and Marqise Lee. Nevertheless, no receiver can make plays without consistent accuracy from a quarterback either.

Another appealing aspect to Barkley is USC's weak defense. The Trojans allow 24 points per game, which is a lot regarding their susceptible schedule, so Barkley must bring his A-game on a weekly basis. Although USC has lost three games so far in 2012, it won't hurt Barkley's appeal to the Buffalo Bills.

Ryan Fitzpatrick may rack up yards and points, but wins are scarce and interceptions are not. Factor in Buffalo's pass protection and ground game and Barkley will get the Bills to the next level.

1. Geno Smith, West Virginia

Geno Smith is the epitome of decision-making.

With 31 touchdowns to only three interceptions to this point in 2012, Smith and the West Virginia Mountaineers field one intense offense. Along the same lines as Robert Griffin III, Smith has never thrown double-digit interceptions throughout the course of a season.

In 2010, he had a 64.8 completion percentage with 24 scores to seven picks. A year later he improved to 31 touchdowns and had only seven picks, while completing 65.8 percent of his passes.

This season Smith has simply escalated to another level with a 71.3 completion percentage. Appearing undersized, the gunslinger possesses a great arm, mobility and an impressively quick release. That kind of mechanical quarterback engineering is what the Kansas City Chiefs are missing.

Considering Jamaal Charles and the rushing attack, Smith is assisted by play-action and begins to positively turn K.C. around.

I'm all argued out. See my responses in the other 13 draft threads.
