ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Geno Smith vs Alex Smith

a) My take is that Dorsey clearly wanted to trade out of the pick and wasn't thrilled taking a RT.

b) Rodgers went 24.That's the range you can draft a QBOTF.

yes, no 1.1 QB has ever had some bench time to start out a career..

Not really since 2000, no.

Edit: I guess Eli sat for half a season behind Warner.

Maybe. Which GM drafted/traded up for Eli?

Ernie Acorsi. But he hadn't just spent 2 high draft picks for Kerry Collins.

I hate reading this crap over and over "there wasn't anyone to trade down with waaahhhhh "

Bullshit.
Miami was looking to trade up, as evidenced by them trading up to 3 with Oakland.

But at least we got Eric Fisher...

Hindsight being 20/eleventybillion, we could have taken Richardson at 12 and jumped the Jets for Smith.

They should let it go, but this is CP so they will never let it go.

who is "they"?

you are here doing it yourself

I think it's kinda telling that we were already talking to Miami about trading for Albert and they turned around and traded with the Raiders to move up.

Eric Fisher could still be good. Anthony Davis was a complete turnstyle his first year, he's made some pretty drastic improvements since then.

My gut is churning today because we could have had this kid AND another player instead of Eric Fisher and STILL traded for Alex.

Imagine what Reid could have done with Geno...god dayum.

OP updated.
