You have to contextualize the Akili Smith stuff. It started with Pro Football Weekly's scouting report of him, which was posted on ESPN's site.

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that part of my rationale for having him at #1 was that I don't think there are any can't-miss star players in this draft (including him). I think if you shift the entire round from yesterday around, just shake it up and let the names fall to whichever team, it wouldn't make any difference at all, meaning I do not think there's very much of a dropoff from the players taken in the top-5 to the players taken at the end of the round. Which is, coincidentally, why I desperately wanted us to trade down (but expected that we couldn't, because...who would anybody trade up to #1 for...). And I think there are still players on the board now who fall into that group as well, including both Geno and Barkley. I think we're going to sorely regret not having that 34th pick, if only because I think it would have tremendous trade value.

Look, I wanted Geno too. I'm not a fan of Alex smith.
But geez, guys. You have one side treating Alex smith like a franchise qbs and another side screaming that all teams made a mistake in order to justify a reach of one full round. |

The more you saw of him the more you had to justify the pick purely because of the "I want a drafted QB" mentality. Eventually it was fairly obvious Geno isn't what I wanted him to be and many here still think he is. He has potential but he also has major concerns. Reid and Dorsey weren't going to bet the next 3 years of JC, DJ, Hali, and Bowe's talent hoping it worked out. At least that's how I see it. |

Chiefs have the worst history in the NFL wiht QB's. Finally lose enough to put themselves in a position where QBs are usually chosen. Some on here really liked the top QB prospect.
I don't understand why thats such a bad thing I guess. Just happened to be the Chiefs sucked in a year that didn't match up with that. |
