The problem with this is, if MB throws well at his pro day, the Chiefs may drop too far and lose out on him. It would be a fun draft day if the Chiefs draft Geno and hold him hostage though. It would also be painful to see the Chiefs draft the player I want and then trade him away. Just cruel.

Yet, they'll piss it away on a doughy LT they don't need, another 3-4 end, a ****ing corner, or a reserve situational pass rusher....That would be soooo much better. Got it.

Newsflash: Alex Smith will not be starting by week 16

I don't think that's the case if they draft Geno or Barkley.

For Alex to not be starting in Week 16.....we would have to be horribly bad next year.

I'm not going to set myself up for another 'heartbreak'...

If we get Geno, it'll be gravy. Right now, I don't feel like that's a possibility but if it happens Christmas comes early. No need to get myself all worked up about something that probably has a 5% chance of realistically happening.

There were people ready to storm Arrowhead with torches and pitchforks if they "wasted" the #1 pick on a quarterback before the Alex Smith trade.

If they took a QB with that pick now, the KC area would suffer an epidemic of family annihilator killings, with mom and the kids dead in their beds and dad's body seated in his worn out easychair with the big framed poster of Marty Schottenheimer behind him.

I still think that they're going do everything they can to trade down. I'm just not going to close my eyes, put my fingers in my ears and refuse to believe that they won't draft a QB at 1.1.

EDIT: I'm not saying that you are....BTW.

You can't start someone who's on IR

ROFL Heh, don't know about all that but wives would be beaten, that's for sure.

This isn't Nebraska

No, it wouldn't. If they took a QB....this fanbase would defer to Andy Reid and John Dorsey and claim that they know what they're doing.....like they do with every pick the Chiefs make.

Yep. Sheeple.

The question wasn't what options are palatable to you. You were asked to call your shot. By simply stating different options, you are doing the exact same thing I was doing, only using lame wishy-washy language so you can back out of it later.

CALL YOUR SHOT.

What are the Chiefs going to do with 1.1.

but if Andy/Dorsey see it the way I see it...

Geno could go #1 and be 3rd string for a year. That's fine with me. Let Alex play, sign a veteran to back him up, and give Geno a "coaching/learning" year. That's fine.

If Alex can get us to 9-7 and plays another Harbaugh-esque year and is efficient...we could always flip him for a 2nd or 3rd rounder on his expiring contract year to a team that is "sold" on him because he is, in fact, an efficient game manager (if he puts together another year this year like he did for 8 games in 2012 there is no doubt he's a valuable QB to some franchise out there)...

so lets say we start Alex for a year for a 2nd rounder and a 3rd rounder (2014) and then flip him for a 3rd rounder in 2014 (and maybe another conditional pick in 2015)...so we can afford a guy who is (according to most) pretty raw (Geno Smith) a learning/coaching year...and I have zero issue for that.

If that's the master plan...then I say genius.

Basically trade a 2nd and 3rd for 1 year of Alex Smith and then turn his expiring contract into a 3rd and 4th the following year while affording Geno Smith 1 year to work out all of his kinks, get a year of Andy Reid coaching, and get an NFL year under his belt.

If that's what they are doing...my ****ing God, we have a guru front office/coaching staff.

I just said trade back.
