I'd take him. But then again, I liked the LJ pick too. And I wanted Harrington in '02 when our defense sucked.

I'd trade down and try to pillage somebody who wants a stud QB...

Either trade down or go with a defensive player. If he fell that far, something would have to be up with him. We are in a win now mode, so taking a QB, even a potential franchise QB, would be stupid at this point. However, I would like to see us draft a QB in the 4th-6th round (Andrew Walter would be great) to learn behind Trent a couple years.

Any other year I'd be fine with it. But this time around our first two picks have to be players who'll see the field this year. 2005 is it for this team the way it's been built. We're playing for now and a QB would be a luxury pick for the future that we just can't afford.

I would take him, and try to swing a trade, or move down. For the next two to three seasons, Alex Smith would probably be our third string QB behind Green and Collins.
I never liked drafting and developing a QB. I always liked the idea of getting one out of FA or via trade. There are too many QB busts, and their contracts are too large. |

Agree with tk and eazy, trade down if he's available. If they drafted him, I'd probably throw something through my TV. Good thing I plan on watching the draft at a sports bar.

If the Chiefs haven't made a move for Surtain at that point and Smith was still available you might as well build for the future and grab the QB. If Surtain is on board I think I'd try to trade back.

This is a very thin year for QB's. I'm not exactly impressed with either Smith or the guy from USC.
