And then he followed it with "and how many playoff games has he won?"

Sounds to me like he "gets it".

Yeah, I caught the tail end of it. Applying logic/modern NFL realities/positional value appropriately, it looks like.

And I think he makes a great point about the extremely high risk associated with waiting until No. 34 to try and grab a QB.

Yeah.

He was pretty unequivocal on that point.

He said pretty much flat out that if you wait until 34, you're not getting a QB.

Yeah, I wonder how long it will take "experts" at ESPN to catch up. If someone is clearly not going to be available outside the top 15, then they have a top 15 draft grade.

I think it's hypocritical and hilarious that some experts have NO problem assigning higher positional value to a LT than a C or G or a WR than a FB or a DE/pass rusher over a 3/4 ILB, but they refuse to update the amount of positional value assigned to QBs.

We're already starting to see more and more mock drafts have us picking Geno at 1. I think it's just a matter of time.

Who are the LTs for the Pats, Giants, Niners, Ravens, Texans, Packers, Broncos?

Is Albert as good or better than those guys? My guess is, hes probably just as good as a few of those guys.

The trend went the wrong way for a few weeks there in mid-January, but it seems to be correcting now.

The Matt Miller-led furor over Luke "Jon Ogden despite being 4 inches shorter and 40 pounds lighter" Joeckel is fading a little bit, some of that due to the impressive showing from Eric Fisher at the Senior Bowl, some of that due to people just wising up...

Rob Rang's updated mock is out. Pretty much backs up what he said on the radio this morning.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/n...tscout-RobRang

1. Kansas City Chiefs (2-14)

Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia: Throughout their respective NFL careers, head coach Andy Reid and general manager John Dorsey have preferred taking the best player available approach on draft day. To do so in 2013, the Chiefs would be picking an offensive or defensive lineman here, none of whom is likely to significantly add to the team's win total unless complemented with better play at quarterback. As such, unless Reid is confident he can resurrect Matt Cassel's career or the team is able to land another veteran passer via trade or free agency, the team could ultimately be forced to draft a quarterback here. Smith is far from the "sure thing" that Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III were a year ago but possesses all of the physical traits to become an NFL star. Reid's success developing quarterbacks in Philadelphia, as well as Dorsey's ability to draft them in Green Bay, made them attractive hires in Kansas City. Make no mistake, selecting Smith would be both a gamble and a reach but to take a better player at a position of lesser importance would only guarantee more mediocrity.

He needs a job with a team, because he gets it.
