Raiders Interested in Geno Smith

[RyFo18]

This is pretty much my worst nightmare (as a Geno fan). The Chiefs pass on him and the Raiders take him and he crushes the AFC West for years to come. Basically plays out like the Gannon situation, only this time the Raiders get the guy for 10+ years.

#Raiders: Rumor mill is working through the league that Oakland scouts love Geno Smith. Front office is ready for a new QB.

Guys, he's a Raider fan AND a troll.

And he agrees with BlackBob.

What does that tell you?

Some years there are good QB classes. Some years there are David Carr / Joey Harrington classes.

You're looking at it completely wrong. It doesn't really matter that Mel Kiper and Todd McShay think there's no quarterback in this draft who's worth a top 10 pick or a #1 overall pick. I guarantee you there is one. The trick is to figure out who it is, and then to draft him. When you have the #1 overall pick, no team can take him away from you. That's a rare luxury.

The franchise quarterbacks listed below weren't considered good enough to be top 10 picks when they came out of college:

Brady - 6th round
Flacco - 18th overall
Roethlisberger - 11th overall
Aaron Rodgers -24th overall
Drew Brees - 32nd overall
Colin Kaepernick - 2nd round (36th overall)
Russell Wilson - 3rd round (75th overall)

Are you going to tell me that guys like Brady, Roethlisberger and Rogers weren't REALLY worth a #1 overall pick when they came out?

The fact that they were drafted so low doesn't mean they weren't good enough to be a top 10 pick. All it means is that the evaluation process is very imprecise and it's difficult to get it exactly right.

A team that drafted any of the guys listed above would NOT have wasted its #1 overall pick, no matter what guys like Kiper and McShay think.

That's the point. It's up to John Dorsey and Andy Reid to figure out who the best quarterback is in this draft, and then DRAFT HIM. It doesn't matter that you have to use the #1 overall pick to get him.

Come on man, Aaron Rodgers went 24th overall.

Why in the world would you give up all that VALUE by drafting him #1?

What position do we have a bigger need at?

Don't be mad because you've been here a decade and get made to look stupid by the new guy.

No one is forcing you to post like a uneducated inner city youth.

I was talking about the Jaguars taking a QB next year, sherlock. We do not have the #1 pick. I never said anything about "next year" when talking about the Chiefs.

There are white people who live in the inner city.

Your assumption was racist though.

...So you are mad about me saying the Jaguars should wait until next year to get a QB in the draft? What? We just drafted one two years ago.
