NFL Draft Hypothetical: Chip Kelly LOVES Geno Smith - Page 7

Fat Elvis · 02-01-2013, 11:00 AM

Let's say that Chip Kelly really loves Geno Smith and feels that he is the one QB in this draft who could run his offense. The Chiefs aren't as sold on Geno as some of the members of this board--in fact, they have Geno and Tyler Wilson graded fairly close together.

If the Eagles are willing to trade their #4 pick, their second this year and their first next year for our #1 pick, do you pull the trigger and pick up Wilson with the #4?

Granted, Wilson being there at 4 is not a guarantee, but it is highly likely. Maybe that is why they bring in Alex Smith, insurance.

Personally, I would do it.

I think with some proper coaching from the QB Whisperer, Wilson could be a top notch QB (note: I am a Geno fan).

We have so many holes that could be filled with those two other picks (a high 2nd rounder, and lets face it; the Eagles will suck next year too so that pick should be a high first).

If Wilson can be coached to be a franchise QB, would you trade Geno for him and two other probable starters?

The obsession with value and trading down is frightening.

All of a sudden, a wild phone rings. *ring, ring*

"Hello, this is Sorter. Who's this?"

"Hi Sorter, this is Chip Kelly. I'd like to talk to you about the availability of your first round pick"

"...Could you hang on just one minute for me, Chip? Thanks."

...a minute passes...

*phone picked back up* "Hey Chip, I have someone who'd like to speak to you." (to another person) "Yeah, sure go ahead and tell him"

"Hello Chip, this is Geno Smith. Go **** yourself."

"Any questions Chip?"

Amazing someone could look at what happened with the 2004 Giants and Chargers draft...and want to come out like the Chargers.

More sad than anything really

What Washington gave up for RG3 is a start.

That would kill me.

Know Geno is ours then get hit that we traded him. Would be the darkest day in my history with sports

It isn't going to happen. Manning refused to play for San Diego. Geno won't do that, he said today he loves the thought of being a Chief.

But, no, I wouldn't do it.

And in the end, you almost wonder if the Rams would not have preferred to have RGIII right now... even with the haul of picks they got.

Same for the Browns the year before. Lots of picks... but could have had AJ Green.

(Do it, but don't fool yourself into thinking that it isn't taking a chance.)

Would you rather strike out swinging or standing there looking?

Good solution. I'd go with this. If I had to either trade before the draft started or not trade, I'd trade.

This scenario is like asking to be raped, then killed...then raped again.

8 out of the first 9 teams should ALL be looking for a qb.
