He doesn't think Smith or Barkley are worth 1st-pick money - I wonder if he even considered the new CBA.

Last time the Chiefs drafted a guy who was worth the #1 overall pick... Glenn Dorsey. Dorsey was probably as good a prospect as any defensive player in this draft. See what I mean??
People just need to understand that in the same way that you would never draft in the 1st round the best fullback prospect ever, you can easily take the best available QB prospect at #1 overall even if he is not a top 10 overall prospect. The QB position nowadays has HUGE value... more than you think.
Some will think I'm crazy but I'll tell you this... if given the choice between drafting 3 out of Jones, Lotulelei, Teo, Loeckel, Allen ... or drafting Geno Smith, I'd take Smith without hesitation because it's all irrelevant as long as you don't have the top QB and the sooner you can find that QB the better and that's not even talking about how a top QB makes your whole team better.
People say Geno Smith is no Griffin III or Luck, it's probably true, but really the next time there will come as good a prospect as those guys, the Chiefs won't be in position to draft him just like last year. You take Geno Smith and no ifs and buts.
