FFS the Cowboys traded a 1st and a 2nd for Maurice Claiborne.
Claiborne is a good player but he's not Deion Sanders. It's bullshit that Pioli didn't trade up for a QB. |

Dallas went all the way from 17 to 6 with only a second rounder and that means we probably could have easily moved from 11 to 6 with a third and taken Tannehill. Right now, we would all be getting excited if we had and nobody would be calling for Piolis head. |

We've been waiting for the right time for the right player for 30 ****ing years, dude. Drafting a QB who might not be the greatest is all we got. We have to take that risk. There is no other option. And it's time to start that this year. If we can move shit around to get Geno Smith, it HAS to happen. |

I think I ran a poll on it and the results were similar to my Stanzi thread from a couple years ago. |

Let's say the worst happens and we draft 15-20. Smith, Barkley, and Wilson get drafted 1, 2, 3. We have a shot to go get a Ryan Tannehill type of guy just a few picks ahead. That's what it's come down to. Those picks have to be moved to go get that guy. What's our other option? Draft that illustrious ILB that won't change shit on our defense? Burn a first rounder replacing Brandon Carr? This shit has to end. We have to start drafting those guys you don't like. One of them is going to work out. It happens all the time. A Joe Flacco or somebody like that. The dice MUST be rolled. |
There is almost NEVER a perfect QB prospect...you just have to try and keep trying until you find one.
Just like all of the good teams have done. |
There's always been a QB who shoots up draft boards following the season and gets landed in the 1st round. Sometimes these guys are great. Sometimes they're not. Lately a lot of them have panned out alright (Flacco, Ponder, Tannehill).
This year look out for Tajh Boyd declaring early. He's kind of a streaky player, and at the end of last year he sort of seized up for some unknown reason following Clemson's 8-0 start. He's looking VERY good this year. He's become far more consistent in the pocket and is making better decisions. If he declares early, he'll be that last QB people are looking for to round out the first round-calibre guys. I imagine he'll be a player that Planeteers spit on. They'll say he shits his pants too often, and that he's not the answer. We shouldn't waste a 1st rounder on one of those QBs who gets drafted just because he's a QB. Wrong. If Tajh Boyd declares and we miss out on Geno Smith or Matt Barkley, Tajh Boyd is the guy we need to go after. We need to TRADE UP to get him. And if he fails, then we try again a couple years from now. Until we fix this ****ing QB problem once and for goddamned all. |

Of course we're having this discussion in a thread about Geno Smith, who should go top-5, if not outright #1. So what you're really asking is whether we should trade picks to move up for...who? Let's say Barclay, Smith and Wilson are off the board by 8 (conservatively speaking...). We're at 15 and talking about moving up for...? Bray maybe? Actually that's remarkably like the Sanchez discussion, maybe, a guy who probably needs another year in college. So do you give up your draft for him? EJ Manuel? Fall in love with Zac Dysert? You know what's going to happen, though. We'll draft Manti Te'o, thrilling all the people who think Belcher is some kind of hole in the defense. ' |

I agree with the logic of not taking one just to take one. That being said, at some point we need to take a chance. I am not saying 1% chance, but we can't wait for Luck to come along again. Are we really gonna pass on a guy with a few issues to stick with what, hoping for Stanzi to do well? It's the time to take a shot. Go big or go home. We haven't been a team for 10 years. We have just been filler for other teams schedule. This includes 2010.

That makes no sense if you're in the Chiefs' position. |
