Chiefs Russ Lande says Chiefs should "stick to their board" - Page 2

Geno Smith has all the tangibles - arm strength, accuracy, athleticism - and has a solid football IQ. He has poor mechanics and footwork. He's super raw and won't be ready to start right away, even in the shotgun NFL. Probably not worth a top 5 pick.

He sees Barkley are the flip side of the same coin - VERY polished, NFL-ready, but tangibles are average. Higher floor, lower ceiling. Would typically be a mid-1st guy (15-20).

He thinks Pioli is going to go with another late-rounder like Stanzi. And he hasn't once said he thinks that's the WRONG idea.

wtf?

I know. He's over-thinking it.

But that's how he makes his money, obviously.

Accuracy is paramount. Because of that, I think it comes down to Smith and Barkley. I'll take Smith if that's the choice.

Take the best player on the board with the first pick. Then use the third or trade aplayer to get back into the first and take a QB. That would be the smart thing to do imo.

It is November and look at how these QBs are being talked about. Their stock will only go down guys. The damage is done.

Pioli should have taken Russel Wilson in the 3rd last season, knowing he had shit for QB.

Fire his ass.

Thanks for the input, Scott.

Tannehill had the same knock all these guys have. He shit the bed when the game is on the line. He didn't have "it" and he wasn't "clutch." We saw that last Sunday. Could you see the real difference between him and Luck? **** the stats guys.

It's not just about accuracy and the other crap. They are never going to win anything with Tannehill imo. We better find the "clutch" QB in this class or we are spinning our wheels. It's more important than anything in today's game. Far too many games come down to the end and it happens more often than not in the playoffs.

I really wanted Wilson. Most people had him going in the 5th round. Carroll was truly a genius taking him early. I can't really blame Pioli. It seems like Carroll has the best eye right now. He also took Richard Sherman in the 5th and that was a damn good pick.

Absolutely not. Take the best QB available regardless of what the experts say. For 30 years now we have tried bringing in veterans, passing on the best QBs for lesser ones later in the draft because they were too risky. Not this time, not this year. We need to get with the program because they way we have done it for 30 years has netted us 3 playoff wins, no SB appearances or SB wins. No more spending a top pick on ANY position until our QB position is addressed. Giving up picks to move back up is silly as we need to replace some of the players Piloi lets walk or positions he made poor choices on.

Barkley, Wilson, Bray, Smith....

You cant go wrong with any of these 4. You take one and move forward. Stop masturbating to the 90's and wake the **** up...

Wilson would have actually been competition for Cassel and we all know that is not what Scott wanted.

When will people like you realize players like Luck are very, very rare? The last QB is his category was Peyton. The other 31 teams have to settle for less than someone like that. Just because a QB isn't on the same level as Luck does not mean he is not a good if not great QB.
