Better Than Geno

[O.city]

I would, based on the fact that if we do in fact re sign Albert, the only guys on that list who would be immediate starters would be the DT's, OG's, and S's. I'm not taking a guy at one who isn't going to start immediately, so thats out.

I'm not taking a guard at 1. Thats crazy talk.

I might think about a DL, but TBH, given our draft history which shouldnt matter but to me it does, I'm taking a QB and taking my chances.

Add to that, based on his combine today, I think Geno has shown that he's alot more athletic than I was giving him credit for, which leads to alot of optimism on what he can do.

If we have Albert back and Joeckel is your BPA you taking him?

I probably don't, no. Albert's my LT in your scenerio, and I'm giving Winston another season (and I'm not drafting a RT #1 overall anyway).

But you're right, that would narrow it down to a defensive lineman. Either a passrusher (which I would totally take, even with Hali/Houston), or a defensive lineman who can turn this whole party around with Poe and Jackson.

I like the team chasing after Chris Canty but we don't know where he'll go. And I love, love, love Sheldon Richardson.

In your hypothetical, I'm still reaching for Geno over at least five DL guys I think are superior -- and in some cases, far superior.

In a different situation at QB, I'd be fine with taking another pass rusher. But as much as we don't think so, there is probably some business side to this decision. Taking a guy first overall, who isn't an everydown difference maker, isn't going to be met with alot of joy.

With Richardsons background I have a really hard time taking him at 1.

I'd also say, when you add positional value to some of these guys, I think that makes a better case for a QB.

Personally, I think you have some of your DL guys too high, as well as Milliner and Banks. I'm not taking a CB at 1, when I can get one at 34 who has equal skill.

I think the combine showed, along with what pro days will show, that there is a significant gap between the top QB maybe 2 depending on Barkley, and the rest of the crop.

Looking at just the ticket-selling angle of things, I think Geno Smith would be the biggest boon to business, hands down.

Don't know if it'd be the best football decision, but there's that.
