ChiefsPlanet - NFL Draft Geno Smith fans roll call

The best QB prospects typically don't (though usually the best QB prospects are coming out early and aren't eligible). Only QBs whose agents are being told they NEED to play usually end up playing.

Matt Ryan and Rg3 both skipped it. I don't think it's surprising at all that Geno and Matt Barkley are skipping it.

Barkley is still injured from what I have read.

Was he granted a medical redshirt for the 2009 season? He played in 1/4 of that season, but it was my understanding you had to apply for a medical redshirt after your senior season (similar deal as Tony Temple at Mizzou).

But man...I'm really hoping it's Geno.

Hell, that's a scenario I could deal with.

I'm emotionally preparing for the probability that Reid doesn't want any of them and decides to take Joeckel instead.

I can't see them passing on the QB. I just can't. The backlash of passing on a QB... and having that QB become an elite NFL QB would be far, far greater than drafting a QB at #1 and having said QB bcome a bust.

Jake, Nate, and Steven all just said that if Geno is good enough to go 5-15, you take him at #1.

Nice to hear some sanity on the radio.

Guy is on with Parkins right now. Says Geno has a comparable draft grade to Gabbert coming out.

I'd be fine with Wilson or Smith.

Anyone else, and it's really hard to stomach.

Taking Joeckel and letting Albert walk would drive me insane, I think.

Dude WTF...no way. The Chiefs will have Big Albert back, I believe Bowe and Dustin. Enough of the tear in my beer. Good posters such as yourself need to be spreading the + not the same - BS the media is spreading. They just hate'n on dem Chiefs

There seems to be a TON of concern that Albert's back problems are bigger than anybody thinks.

It Smith grades out similarly to Gabbert, I think that just cements how good of a prospect he is.

Gabbert has ALL the physical tools a QB needs. He lacks the polish and especially the pocket presence. Even going back to high school, he has never produced at a crazily high level.

Those are things that Smith certainly has done. For Smith to grade out similarly to Gabbert, his measureables have to be close. Take those and combine them with Smith's polish and production... and you've got a potential top 10 NFL QB, IMO.

Really? Hadn't heard anything about it.

Where are you getting this from? Wasn't this the first time he has had any back problems?

Even if they are, it's not like Joeckel is the only LT in this draft (or the Chiefs don't have internal options).

Geno at No. 1, Kyle Long at No. 34 if you feel like Stephenson is not ready to be the starting LT.

And his name is silly. He's got that going against him.

If the Chiefs pass on a QB and draft Joeckel you know the headlines will read 'What A Joek'.
