1. Kansas City Chiefs: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia Scott Pioli was fired, as the awesome @saveourchiefs movement was pushing for, and he's been replaced by Andy Reid and his staff. The question is whether Reid will take a shot on a quarterback or go the safe route with Luke Joeckel. Chris Mortensen said Monday that he expects Joeckel to be the first pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, but has a feeling that Reid will select a quarterback - which means he expects him to trade down. I agree with Mort. I'm not sure about the moving down part - Kansas City will sure as hell try - but here's why Geno Smith will be the pick, barring any big acquisition in free agency: 1. New regimes mean new quarterbacks, and if history is any indication, Reid will use this pick on Smith. Reid eschewed all the top free-agent quarterbacks when he took over as the Eagles' head coach, taking a mobile, Big East product with a good deep ball and upside instead. Well, Smith is a mobile, (former) Big East product with a good deep ball and upside. He fits perfectly into Reid's offense. 2. ESPN and other outlets will tell you that Smith nor any other signal-caller is worth taking No. 1 overall, but that could easily change. Remember two years ago when ESPN was mocking Da'Quan Bowers and Nick Fairley to the Panthers? Well, Cam Newton ballooned to the top, as will some other quarterback this year. It could be Smith, Matt Barkley or Mike Glennon. We'll see. Three months is a long time. 3. Think no one believes Smith is worth the No. 1 pick? Think again. Anthony Gargano of 94 WIP in Philadelphia revealed that he spoke to a general manager who told him that he would draft Smith with the first-overall selection. This is just one general manager, but if one GM wants Smith that badly, then there's a chance that several do. Smith has a ton of upside, so a quarterback-friendly coach like Reid might think he could coach him up to a Pro Bowl level. 4. My Chiefs' source, who has a high success rate of delivering Kansas City's first-round picks, told me Smith is currently the favorite to go No. 1 overall, but conceded that it's still too early in the process. He said that the combination of Joeckel and Tyler Wilson is also a strong possibility. By the way, I'm doing this live because I thought it'd be fun to get instant feedback. I'm going to post my mock anyway, so why not do it this way? Follow @walterfootball for updates.

Meanwhile ignore the fact that Geno carried the 107th defense all season. That's 107 out of a possible 120, but Geno didn't win, so he sucks. Also, go look at his numbers against "real competition". Really, not too shabby at all. His "struggles" against elite defense are overplayed. His worst game in my eyes was his bowl game... |

I hope Albert is signed soon so I don't ever have to hear the name Joeckel again.

Not true at all. Look at Barkley, Look at Wilson, look at quite a few guys over the years. Many get a little better or stay generally about the same. Geno Smith has gotten much better each year in every category. He can't help that his defense was terrible.

Another concern with Albert and his call in to the radio a few days ago...he seemed pissed and mentioned that his agent and Dorsey were in talks.
Was he mad because of the "chatter" of him moving to guard or because his agent gave him feedback that the team was trying to negotiate with him as a guard. No way to know for sure, but one thing that is for sure...he sounded a little pissed. |

It was basically Geno, Bailey and Austin against the other team each week. |
