This is a weak draft, period. I will probably be proven wrong in the long run, and I can live with that. But I see nothing that makes me believe the Chiefs will take Geno Smith as a #1 pick.

Honestly, this draft is thin, so Alex Smith in the 2nd may be better than anything else they would've gotten. Anytime i hear the words "Depth draft" floating around that tells me that this draft class isn't any good. Remember the last "depth draft"? 2009. So once again, how much did they REALLY give up, if they didn't highly value the players projected in the 2nd round? We're both making assumptions based on Compensation, when we really don't know exactly what the compensation is going to be. Do you agree that if Alex doesn't receive a contract extension, that that says a lot about their intentions? |

The bet still stands though. In fact, I bet he goes top 5.

You and many others have made a circular argument that cannot be penetrated. Which is the reason that I am also betting that you and Pestilence are screaming bloody murder when Hunt doesn't pick Geno Smith at number 1. And again, I am willing to bet another 50.00 on that.

1, 4 and 6 shouldn't pick a LT, and i doubt they will considering they have Franchise LT's in place.
2, 3 and 5 MIGHT take a LT, but i think that would be dependent on how the rest of the draft falls. |

Yup, with 99.9% probability if it were to occur.

Basically, you don't think they're giving up very much, but I think 180 degree opposite of that. I think they're spending a ton. Far, far too much. Even if they're not giving anything else up. That 34th pick is too much. And that's part of the reason I think it's a long-term move. You spend that much on a starter, not a band-aid. As far as re-signing Alex Smith goes, no, I actually wouldn't read anything into that. They have plenty of cap space this year, so they don't really need to do any cap magic. For all I know it may actually help them reach the floor number they're required to spend. (But that's just a guess). |

Im well aware that Geno isn't likely, but what irritates me is when people claim that A LT is MORE likely. |

As far as the draft goes, im not buying the "depth 2-whatever" argument. If there are no great players are the top, then there are no great player at the mid-bottom. It's a shallow draft. |

If the raiduhs take Joeckel at #3 while Floyd and Lotulelei are still available they deserve to be demoted to a defunct NFL Europe team. Both Kelly and Seymour have been almost as big a disappointment as Jamarcus Russell.
