Anathema: The best QB in this draft to run Reid's offense may not be Geno

[Fat Elvis]

It is Colby Cameron.

This guy is as accurate as they come. And he throws it a lot. Just like Andy likes to run his O.

I would still like to see the Chiefs draft Geno with the #1 pick and Colby with either the 4th or 5th round pick. (I know, I know...he is projected to be either a 7th round pick or UDFA, but I would hate for another team to get "hot" on him and jump ahead of us.)

I'm a Geno fan and was on the bandwagon from the get go, but I personally don't think that Geno is heads and shoulders above Colby.

Cameron is the sleeper in this year's draft and will be the steal that tops the Seahawks getting Russell Wilson last year.

I really don't like any of the late round prospects. Maybe Renfree but I haven't seen a lot of him...and he's injured.

Ya I remember that.

Insert gif of deer in headlights.

There aren't usually a lot of late rounders that are exciting. If there's anything about their game at all that makes you say they're ending up somewhere in the 2nd-3rd range.

This is what ive found

Cameron didnt throw an interception until the final two weeks of the season, but registered five in those two contests alone. It certainly helps to be throwing to a receiver like Quinton Patton, but Cameron's game relies on touch and placement. It will be interesting to see how he fares during Shrine practices

Then he threw 3/6 for 33 yards and an int in the bowl game...

I don't know, i have seen some amazing throws from Geno and it has made me very biased when it comes to this crop of QB's. Like others have said, I would draft Cameron in the latter rounds after we take a QB in round 1.

Not challenging you, just asking. I want to learn more.

I think everyone is just so "meh" on the whole QB class; there is a lot of talk that there are no QBs worth taking in the first round. I think Cameron has suffered due to being lumped into an otherwise bad QB class.

Also, I don't think he fits in with a lot of offensive schemes. I think Reid's offense with all the short passing fits his skillset really well.

Would I bet the entire franchise on him prior to the draft? No, but I would certainly bring him in to compete with (and complement) Geno.

True enough. People thought Ryan Lindley was a good pick

Hell, I thought Lindley was an intriguing prospect.

So much for that!

Lindley was garbage in college. Why did people think he could be good?

[Mr. Laz]

I have no problem grabbing a prospect QB in the 5th round every other year or so.

I wouldn't say he was garbage. He had a - arm and some + traits.

It's becoming very obvious that while tangibles, particularly height, aren't the be all/end all for QBs anymore (if they ever were), having a live arm is an absolute prerequisite for any inkling of success in today's NFL.
