As much as the Chiefs need a QB, let's face the facts:
Geno Smith is not worthy of a 1.1 pick. If he was,
all this activity would not be taking place this close
to the draft.

What determines worthiness of pick 1.1?
Absolute guaranteed lock? That doesn't exist.
In retrospect is Brady worth 1? Kaepernick?
All depends on a lot of factors. They wouldn't be if you have number 1.1(through trade or any other method), if you have a Drew Brees with other pressing needs. Technically they would be worth 1.1 just not to you.
Kaepernick is still somewhat unproven, as he has only had success for part of a year. But if he was the top prospect, would he have gone where he went. Obviously not, some team would have "reached". Look at how much a teams have given up in the past for the top pdospect at a given position.
The people in the know as pointed out by others, have records that indicate they may not know much.
