Former GB and KC scout provides an interesting tidbit on scouting and coaches/GMs:

Marc Lillibridge: When I look at it as a scout, it started with a medical and that's what you're really hoping to find out. When you're writing your report and you say you love a player, if you're a good scout, you know what range he's in. If you know he's a 4.5 guy and he does better than that, it should solidify it. If a guy is a 4.6, you can tell it on film. As a scout, you're there to reconfirm, but also it helps when you're in meetings with coaches. The coaches haven't seen those players because they're worried about keeping their job or getting a new job. Then the GM's, up until December, haven't watched a lot of film – unless you're Ted Thompson.

It's more to confirm the grade you have. Then there are teams like the Atlanta Falcons, for example, that have their board set before the Combine. They may make some tweaks here or there, but they believe in their scouts. The teams that draft well trust their scouts and believe in their judgment. The Combine is just there to solidify or kill a guy if you don't think he's good. For us, when I was scouting, it didn't change much. It confirmed things and gave us hard numbers. If it makes or breaks your draft as a scout, you're probably not going to be in the business for very long or with that team.

Right now, isn't Dorsey working with a lot of the scouts that were here under Pioli?

Landry Jones will make a great coach/combine prep guy. As long as there is no pass rush he looks great. Add a rush and Jones makes Matt Cassel look like Tarkenton/Rothlesberger.

Yeah, they kept the scouts from the Pioli regime.

So the "rules", so to speak, only loosely apply to the Chiefs. At least for this first draft...

Yeah, but it shouldn't be an excuse.

Why is everyone so concerned about what the Chiefs are going to do? Seriously. Like worry about your own damn team.

There is not one single other QB in this draft that has Geno's combo of arm strength, accuracy and mobility. Not to mention intangibles.

Barkley? Arm sucks, stone feet.
Glennon? Accuracy highly questionable, even less mobile than Barkley.
Wilson? Seems to have the best combo other than Geno. Still not at his level.

Manuel? Bray? Nassib? Dysert? Jones? Not even in the picture. One of these guys probably falls to the 4th.

That's not what I'm saying.

Look at all that stuff Lillibridge said. It basically doesn't apply to the Chiefs, because Dorsey and Reid have never worked with these scouts before.

Bray has the best arm strength but lacks in accuracy and mobility. At least give him some due credit.

So why the **** do you want a QB that has accuracy problems ? So you can continue suck ???

Is it probable that A.R. trades down and drafts two QB's in rds1 & 2?

It isn't probable that they trade down at all. Nobody wants our pick.

Far too many people are against the Chiefs taking a QB #1.
It's so worrisome.

Hopefully the Chiefs adopt an "us against the world" mentality then.

Not only do they get the QB but they come out of it with a chip on their shoulder and something to prove.
