The Compendium of Geno Hope
 

Looking at everything as a whole, it doesn't seem very likely that Geno is the Chiefs pick.

Looking at specific things, however, we see a glimmer of hope.

1. Alex Smith has not been extended.

2. Alex Smith was brought in to "stabilize" the QB position, not to ostensibly win a Super Bowl.

3. Geno is a natural fit in the WCO.

4. The Jaguars are hunting for Matt Flynn, which suggests that they will not be in the Geno market, making a trade down from 1.1 unlikely.

5. Outside of tackle, there are no particularly obvious 1.1 picks.

6. The Chiefs have said they want to make Branden Albert the left tackle of the future.

7. Geno threw extremely well at the Combine with a Chiefs WR coach standing right next to him.

8?. Reid and Roberts read CP and realize the risks they run in perpetuating decades of failure to draft a franchise QB.

9?. Robert's wife, an attorney at a KC law firm, hears from a flood of colleagues that without Geno, there is no hope, and questioning the sanity of her husband after the AS trade. So, she comes around to try and defend her husband and works on him to come to his senses.

Wtf is Roberts?

He's the guy that replaced Dorsey after Dorsey told Clark Hunt that he wasn't drafting Geno.

He's also got a wife at a KC law firm.

Weird set of coincidences, no?

lol.

I love how it wasn't even close, either. I have no idea where he would have confused Dorsey with "Roberts".

Where's our daily mock?!?!?!

What makes Geno a natural fit for the WCO? It seems like Alex Smith is more of a natural fit, doesn't it?

Really?

Another reason for genuine hope...that every other team that was interested in Geno has moved on to vets like Palmer and Flynn almost immediately after we announced that we are bringing him to KC for a 2 day workout/visit.

That might be because they see a 2 day visit in KC as a sign we are gonna draft Geno at 1 and he is no longer a possibility.

Yeah, really. If West Virginia's airraid offense is anything like the offense Mike Leach ran at Texas Tech, I don't see a lot of similarity with the WCO.

You're getting me all hot for Geno lovin

Real talk

Jacksonville was supposedly blown away during their private workout...Arizona really liked him...Phillis owner and everyone else loved him...Oakland loves him.

Then, we leak info that we are gonna have a 2 day workout/visit with Geno IN KC (coincidentally scheduled for the day that Chiefs players will be there for other workouts) ...

Hours later, EVERYBODY starts looking elsewhere for qbs.

IMO one of two things happened...

1) We already traded down with someone who will take Geno at one and we just haven't announced it.

2) they all think Geno is gone and are moving on to other options.

I really do.

:hmmm: As Billy Joel once said, "You may be right" !!

so this guy named Andy just waltzes up in here and trades for Alex, right? Right! Then he says something to the effect of getting my boy Alex in the hall of fame. THE hall of ****ing FAME! Then we got my boy Chase in here to back him up. Why in the hell would we draft a guy we essentially don't need? You don't draft the replacement of your future hall of famer when he's under thirty!

He also said Branden Albert is a pro bowl quality left tackle that they want to sign long term...

What's worse?

Drafting a quarterback and letting him take the Aaron Rodgers/Colin Kaepernick career path, or drafting Joeckel at 1 and trading Albert for a 2?

Well this would be a good thing.

These are the 2 scenarios I see as well. Either we already have a trade in place, or we are taking Geno. Everyone else knows they're out.

Also, news might not leak of what it is, maybe the NFL wants the 1st pick to be kept under wraps for prime-time ratings...?

Holy balls.

That is some sequential logic, there.

or 3) everyone still wants him and GMs are trying to juke each other by feigning lack of interest. No sense in driving the price up on themselves this early.
