All these guys are spewing as if the new CBA doesn't exist.

"Taking a guy #1 who's not slotted there is a big risk."

"You can't afford to miss with a QB who ends up being a bust or it sets you back 5 years."

"There just isn't a QB out there like Luck and RG3 that you can say is a lock to be a franchise QB, so you should take the safe pick in the LT or DT or DE."

Bullshit.

A contract for Geno Smith or Tyler Wilson at #1 will cost the Chiefs 1/3 of what Matt Cassel's contract has cost us. Now Cassel? THAT's a QB who set us back 5 years. Literally.

The new CBA makes a high risk/high reward pick at a position of value an easy call. Let's say RG3 never plays again (which I don't believe.) Was he worth $21 million to the Redskins already? Ticket sales, merchandise, publicity, etc? Hell yes. And they've got him locked down for 3 more years.

These "gurus" need to wake up and smell the coffee.

QFT

I just hope Andy Reid and John Dorsey aren't as ****ing stupid as the webscouts and fans.

:clap:

Reasons I cited (in addition to his Rex Grossman-esque love of his arm strength and his struggles with touch passes) for NOT going all-in on Stafford a few years ago.

I would rather have Geno day 1 next year than Stafford.

Doesn't he know that Tannehill was graded out in the second round? It's ok to reach a little on QB...

So the guy that was on WHB this morning was Tony Paulino.

Jake, Nate, and Steven all just said that if Geno is good enough to go 5-15, you take him at #1.

Nice to hear some sanity on the radio.

If you guys don't take a QB at #1, I will laugh for days.

i turned it off listening to him...

very glad to know they saw through it

I'll make sure that you're laughing on Orangemane because you'll be banned here.

I'm a bit concerned about Geno's decision to pass on the senior bowl. I'm a Geno Smith fan, but I'd like to see a confident guy that wants to show off his skills in a game against the top college competition, with an offense that is unfamiliar to him. I don't like this decision by him at all.

While I would have liked to have seen him play too, it really doesn't bother me in the least that he passed on playing. I have seen him play several games already, and he has shown me enough to take with our first pick.

It's all about the workouts for Geno now.

The best QB prospects typically don't (though usually the best QB prospects are coming out early and aren't eligible). Only QBs whose agents are being told they NEED to play usually end up playing.

Matt Ryan and Rg3 both skipped it. I don't think it's surprising at all that Geno and Matt Barkley are skipping it.

I remember a certain highly touted QB that went to the combine and threw to show everybody he wasn't scared to compete and what he can do. That young man was Mark Sanchez.

RG3 didn't skip it. He wasn't eligible since he was a junior. But if he had been a senior I doubt he would have played

I am going to emotionally prepare for the possibility that Reid grades one of the Tylers or Barkley higher than Geno.

But man...I'm really hoping it's Geno.
