Okay fine...trade down to #20 or so. Make a deal to get another mid #1 pick by trading someone accompanied by giving away some of your 4th and 5ths or something. My point is if you value 5 QBs equally, and one of them is still gonna be there later.....it is pointless to waste it on a QB on the very #1 pick of the draft.

walters has:

Geno #1
Glennon #8
Barkely #33
Wilson #38
Nassib #39
Jones #68
Bray #76

I'm guessing that's based on his injury and lack of productivity...

You have to have someone willing to pay the price to trade up to No. 1 for that to happen. Easier said than done.

Your logic (if you value 5 equally and one will be there later) isn't off, but there are some potential problems with it:

1) It assumes the Chiefs rate Smith, Barkley, Wilson, Glennon and Bray (or whomever the fifth guy is) equally. That is not necessarily the case (and I'd bet that there is separation between the top 3 and the rest of the pack by draft day).
2) It assumes you have correctly gauged the way the draft is going to go and how other teams are leaning.

Nightmare scenario would be for the Chiefs to trade down and get stuck picking from the second tier. Which is possible even at No. 20, if there are 2-3 guys that have separated themselves.

This is all because the media (ahem Kiper) is pumping up Glennon simply because he has the strongest arm and best size in the draft.

Wilson's going to beat that ass at the Senior Bowl and you will see Wilson at 8 and Glennon at 38 by next month.

i like wilson, and think it is crazy he wouldn't be a first round pick...walters is usually very pro-QB, so weird to see this list

Despite the trend of teams trading up and reaching for QB's I think they'll fall this year.

Even after the workouts and combine.

There will be two big hits early and then everyone else will fall...

I don't understand all this talk about trading down. We won 2 games. Pick the best player at each spot. Smith/Wilson are the best players at #1.........Why do we make this difficult?

Glennon also signed with the No. 2 sports agent (David Dunn). Dunn's guys don't get as much love from the ESPN group (Kiper, McShay, Mort, Schefter) as CAA guys, but they get a hell of a lot more than Select Sports Group's clients.

Wilson and Barkley are both with CAA. Watch. They are going to get pumped like crazy as time goes on... especially by the ESPN "gurus."

Scott Wright will have daily breakdowns on his website. He's pretty thorough.

thanks...that's the guy

I have to be careful how much I praise Mr. Matt Bowen. He's a Hawkeye. ;)

You have to have a trade partner. There won't be one.

If we don't want a QB, nobody does.

I don't like people calling him a 1st read qb, simply because if you have eyes he's very clearly not. His offense has a lot of wr screens, short quick underneath stuff, rb screens, all designed to get the ball out of his hands ASAP because his line can't block for shit.

So what does he do? He executes his gameplan. He gets the wr screen out there half a second after he has the ball. He hits wrs in stride and on their proper shoulders. When time allows, he surveys the field. Given that he never runs and always has his eyes looking for someone when he has to scramble, I'm still wondering why anyone can possibly call him a 1-read qb.

I would strongly question that evaluation then.

Historically when you look at past few drafts, there's a huge drop off between the 1st QB to the 3rd. Let alone going 5th down the list.

It's just unrealistic.
