But after he fell to the 2nd round, I figured the Chiefs must have made the right choice. Sure, there are guys that were drafted late or not at all throughout history that have become stars. Time will tell whether this guy is one of those. But one game against a crappy defense does not a season (nor career) make.

I'm not saying this game makes or breaks Geno Smith. It's a positive step, but he must continue to build on it. He must continue to progress and strengthen his ball security. He's trending upwards and
might be a star even sooner than I, one of his biggest fans on here, thought.
Teams seemed to pass on him because of character/maturity concerns that came out of the interview room. This wouldn't be the first time that was either false, overblown, or something the player used to motivate himself past those issues. I think the fact he fell in the draft is a weak excuse.
