Chiefs Chiefs reportedly 'fascinated' by Geno Smith - Page 3

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."

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.

Alex Smith DOES NOT have an extension.

That's worth remembering.

Who is this Joel Thorman asshole douchebag and where can I find him?

I've said this before, and I will say it again. I do not believe a 1st, 2nd, and conditional pick is too much to spend to upgrade that most important position on the team. Many teams have spent far more than that.

Alex is one heck of an insurance policy at the very least. If we wanted him, we had to get him before March 12th. He has a two year contract. If he pans out to be franchise worthy... great!

Geno has star potential. Too much to pass up IMO. You draft him and let Alex and Geno battle it out.

Alex, Geno, and Chase will cost around 13.5 million to have on the roster this season. That is a lot, but not an excessive amount for the QB position IMO.

Then next season sort it all out on the money end of things.

ChiefMojo · 03-27-2013, 09:04 AM

And the hopes of the Geno or bust crowd crawl back out of the hole again. :-0

It's going to hurt is all I'm going to say.

agreed, and with a team so devoid of QB talent in decades past, it is time to make that kind of commitment to the position. Hell, they spent $10 mil/year on matty c, wasted cash, we all know, but that is 75% of $13 mil.

I've stated this multiple times before. Get ready for the bullshit.

I don't believe they're trading Albert and they filled almost all of our needs in FA so they are absolutely in a position to take Geno.....if they want.

I think is pro day might have swayed them...how much so we'll see.

Very well could be a smokescreen but I will say I honestly will not be surprised at all if we take him. I'd actually be more surprised if we took Joeckel.

You can never have too much depth at QB...
