Chiefs reportedly 'fascinated' by Geno Smith
The Kansas City Chiefs are "fascinated" by West Virginia Mountaineers quarterback Geno Smith, according to Ian Rapoport.
Smith was terrific at his pro day and solidified his status as a top 10 pick last week, with most experts believing he will be one of the first selections off the board at the 2013 NFL Draft. Our own Dan Kadar has Smith heading to the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 2 overall in SB Nation's latest mock draft. Joel Thorman of Arrowhead Pride calls the move a smokescreen and writes, "Is this the worst smokescreen in draft history? Honestly, it might be." More: Chiefs offseason coverage at Arrowhead Pride The Chiefs just traded one second-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and a conditional third-round choice that could become a second in next year's draft as well for quarterback Alex Smith. That's a high price to pay for the team to also consider such a large draft investment in a rookie like Geno Smith. Smith threw for 98 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in his four-year career at West Virginia. http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/3/2...mith-nfl-draft |

It's been reported Geno and Dee Millner are coming to KC for private workouts.
Posted in a couple of threads.

Smoke show. Gotta give it to Dorsey/Reid they are trying. But ultimately this means, one month away from draft day, nobody is calling or giving a serious offer, yet.

Agreed. If no one gives a serious offer I'd love to see Albert kept at the tag and draft Geno ****ing Smith!

I don't get the idea of a smokescreen when we can pick whomever we choose. If the Chiefs think he's great, they will take him. Plain and simple. If they say he's great, but then don't intend to take him, do other teams really think he's great just because the chiefs said so? I don't think so. It makes no sense.
The smokescreen angle only makes sense if you are trying to get a player and don't want anyone to know who it is so that nobody right behind you that also wants the same player, jumps ahead of you. Since we can take whoever we want, this play is pointless. |

And that's fine. If Alex does great in 2013 we could trade him when Geno is ready. Or if Geno needs another year, he sits and we let Alex walks after 2014.

I get that, but what part of it is going to make another NFL team trade up, the chiefs "evaluation" of Geno?
You mean to tell me that Arizona or Buffalo thought Geno was OK, but now that KC is fascinated by him, he is great, and worthy of trading up for? That doesn't make sense. Either other teams think he is worthy of a number one pick, or they don't. KC being fascinated by him isn't going to change that. The smokescreen argument doesn't hold water when you are picking number one. |
