Chiefs QB situation

[Ndub21ku]

Ive heard many different opinions. Heres my take...If you can trade down to pick 20-25 and gain another 3rd round pick in doing so i like it. That gives you a 1st, 2nd, and two 3rds. With 2 of those picks i go QB. Whichever two you rate the highest. The syracuse guy, Lynch, Wilson...all solid choices. That still leaves you two picks in the first 3 rounds to clean up holes. Ive seen many sources say that this years draft has lots of depth with NFL starters through the first 4. Take advantage of it with more picks. Who cares about drafting number 1 when theres not a number 1 to take. Now scouts are saying the OT from central michigan measures better than the A&M guy. I also think this article (http://boggsbeerbabes.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-chiefs-need-to-trade-for-timothy.html) is very smart. Why not have your back up QB's are running zone read stuff. Tebow won a playoff game doing it in Denver. Would be a cheap gamble. Good locker room guy.

Just take the QB.

Everyone wants to call this a weak class, or say there is no player worthy at #1.. it's crazy. If the whole top 15 is interchangeable... just take your guy.. take the QB.

Just take the QB!

I like Tyler Wilson as a prospect more than previous 1st QB's taken Matt Ryan, Matt Stafford, and probly Sam Bradford too. They all have proved they are worth it, even Bradford IMO just needs better players around him.

First off, Welcome to the Forums man. Stick around, we have alot off GREAT posters.


#1- If we trade down that far I would hope we got ALOT more.

#2- Tim Tebow is not a good locker room guy(maybe nice guy)but not a good locker room guy. The circus around him is something I want NO part of.

#3- If we like a guy at QB, just freaking take him. It is the only glaring hole on this team. I don't care if people say it's bad value, if we like him....GET HIM!

#4- We will most likely have 4 Picks in the first 3 rounds anyways.

We aren't trading down 20 spots and getting just a 3rd rounder in return...

Would MUCH rather stay at #1 and take the QB we have graded the highest instead of trading down and risk another team snatching him up.

So we trade the #1 overall pick for a pick in the #20-25 range and get what amounts to be a low third round pick to do so?

I know I said this somewhere else but if we trade back, i'd trade our 2nd for a good qb like flynn or alex smith or somebody and then trade our 1st for someone elses first and their 2nd then draft a CB one and another QB in 2 or 3. But I really just want to draft Geno and get a decent veteran.

[kcstomp63]

I think I am slowly jumping on the draft Geno #1 bandwagon. We obviously need a QB and will take one with one of our first two picks. I believe trading down is another option that just picked up some steam.

On ESPN Insider, they acknowledged that Philly is moving to a 3-4 defense and is going to be looking for a 3-4 nose tackle. Star Lotulelei fits the bill. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Philly and KC talked about a trade so Philly gets their man.

Assuming he doesn't get picked by Jacksonville or Oakland, Geno at #4 is a better option, I think.

If not....what other options do you think we would have at that spot. Trading down again could be a possibility.

It's gonna be Tyler Wilson and we won't be able to trade down....at all and assure that we get him. (same thing if Geno ends up being the top QB on the board).

Take the QB (Whether it's Geno or Wilson). Acquire a veteran as a backup or something if they must, but they really should just take the QB. The Chiefs haven't taken a first round QB in 1983, and their best QBs they've had since then have been 30+ year old trades or FA pickups who stayed around at most for a handful of years. I think at this point KC needs to at least show they're willing to take a risk on taking a true franchise QB, rather than just taking the safer picks, picking up weak trade/FA acquisitions for their QBs, and having nothing to show for it in terms of playoffs wins because of neglect at their most important position. Geno and Wilson are risks, but so is picking up some FA/Trade QB and watching him become another Cassel. Andy Reid may have some reputation now for developing QBs, but the only Quarterback he won playoff games with was a #2 overall pick, and even once McNabb left his main QB he was working with was a former #1 overall.

Its easy to say take the QB but when they bust like jamarcus Russell everyone says y did you take a QB? I like Geno ability but he did have bad games and couldve shined at the seniorbowl. Ej Manuel is a sleeper and has great poise in the pocket, says that chip kelly wanted him in oregon that speaks alot to me on him. Troy Smith is still unproven after his possible start in baltimore. He has to get signed even as back up or smthng.

Well, at this point I'm trusting Andy jto put us in a position to win with whom ever he decides to put under center. I, too, like a couple of the new kids, but I don't want them taking a QB first pick JUST because the haven't taken one since Blacklege in '83.

On the Alex Smith front, just speculation at this point but Smith could be planning on requesting to be released now as opposed to being dangled in a trade.
