The numbers have been posted by DaKCManAP in either this thread or another thread.....but if we drafted Geno.....all 3 of our QBs would have the cap hit of Joe Flacco.

A DL taken at 1.1 may or may not start, but he's almost certainly going to get plenty of snaps over the course of the season as a part of the rotation. We're talking about a QB at 1.1 who never sees the field. That doesn't happen in the modern NFL. (I'm not saying it can't happen, but it doesnt. And it's not the same as the DL scenario at all).

Yep. And the guys picking for KC last year aren't the same guys who made the previous round of bust picks.

To me all that stuff is stupid. Past bust results aren't indicative of future busts. Just like the whole "USC QB = Bust" mantra. BS. If a prospect's a stud I don't care what school he played for or how that school's previous QBs turned out in the NFL.

So tell me this then....

Say the Texans for some reason end up at 1.1 this year. Would it be ok for them to take Geno Smith and sit him for a year? They already have an established veteran QB with a decent salary who could realistically play for another 2-3 years. Would they need to take a DE/DT who would rotate in his 1st year? How about a RT?

The biggest need on this team is the pass rush. I would love Dion Jordan here. He's going to be a beast.

Pretty cool tidbit. I say draft your QB. Said all along I don't want all our eggs in one basket. Get a starter. A vet back up and draft your guy. I want options.

I'll ask again - Is there some law that a team, particularly the Chiefs, can't be stacked at the QB position?

If they sign this guy, and I really hope they do, then Dorsey and Reid have done nearly the impossible by making the first overall pick in the draft for a team that won 2 games the year before a near luxury draft pick. Why WOULDN'T they pick a talented quarterback that would benefit by watching the NFL game from the bench for a season?

Wow, these guys arent jacking around, what a nice get, it really gives them leeway in the draft.

And no one has found a single thing to bitch about with this guy, that may be the most amazing thing about it.

Dudes freakin huge
When he plays his teams run game spikes upward
Is considered pro bowl caliber
Versatile, plays two spots at a high level
Veteran, no learning curve
He's Samson re-incarnate, bain of philistines everywhere

KEEP DOUBTING THE WALRUS

I think he has some weight control issues.

Barring the removal of Hali from our roster, Jordan would be at most a situational player for KC in 2013.

:thumb:

Pretty sure they expanded the active roster by 1 player, and eliminated the emergency QB concept a couple years ago...

DaKCMan AP's glue-sniffing scenario:

Draft Geno @ 1.1 and sit him for a year.
Start Alex Smith who has a Pro Bowl (either #3 QB or alternate) season.
In 2014 offseason trade Alex Smith for multiple picks (including 2nd rounder) a la AJ Feely & Kevin Kolb.

Profit.

It would be OK with me. I think that if they took QB with 1.1, they'd be in for a QB controversy, but if they're willing to deal with that, it's no skin off of my back.

Thanks. I had a vague feeling that the rule had changed, but I wasn't sure. In that case, DaKCMan's concern about the wisdom of only suiting up 2 QBs is a lot more valid.
