Geno Smith hopes the Chiefs are serious about drafting him

By Josh Katzowitz | NFL Writer

About a month before we all meet in New York for the 2013 NFL Draft, now is the time of the year when the team drafting first overall starts sending up smokescreens. The Chiefs most likely are no different.

Though five of our six mock drafters think Kansas City will take an offensive tackle at No. 1 -- either Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel or Central Michigan's Eric Fisher -- the Chiefs are putting out word that's not necessarily true.

So, the team's official Twitter account shows pictures of coaches working out Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd, and coach Andy Reid slyly talks about the talents of West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith.

The goal could be to entice other teams who might want a Floyd or a Smith to potentially trade up with the Chiefs in order to grab the player whom those other squads might want. But Smith, for one, hopes Kansas City's supposed interest in him is really true.

“I hope Kansas City is legitimately interested. I hope I go No. 1. But, hey, we'll see,'' Smith told USA Today in a phone interview. "The Chiefs are bringing me in, so I'm going in there thinking that they're interested [in me], because I am in them.

"I'm just going to do what I've always done, try and impress them, just be myself and allow the process to do its job and get ready for whoever drafts me. I'll be going Monday to Friday, working out for different teams.”

It seems unlikely the Chiefs, who will work him out Monday, would draft Smith in the first round, particularly since they just gave up two second-round draft picks in a trade for Alex Smith and because there are still plenty of questions about Smith's NFL prospects (even though he's probably the top quarterback prospect coming out of college this season).

For the record, our mock drafters have Smith going anywhere from No. 3 to Oakland down to No. 8 to Buffalo. But Smith also could be mighty tempting for the Chiefs.

As USA Today points out, “Smith ran an impressive, 4.56-second, 40-yard dash at the scouting combine, and followed that with a 60-of-64 pro day performance on March 14. He has received strong reviews from teams he's met with, including new Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus Bradley (after his pro day) and new Eagles coach Chip Kelly, general manager Howie Roseman and owner Jeffrey Lurie (after a workout two days before his pro day).”

It seems likely that Smith will hear his name within the first 10 picks on the first night of the draft, although CBSSports.com's Pete Prisco isn't sure he'd take Smith within the first 20 picks. It probably won't be with Kansas City, but, hey, maybe the Chiefs aren't sending out a smokescreen and really are thinking about drafting Smith.

At this time of the year, it's impossible to know one way or the other.

Just what I thought. Look at how greedy he is. All he cares about is being the #1 pick so he can make more money!

He is an unknown to me and should be to most everyone else too but man you have Alex Smiff.. Alex Freaking Smiff... I swear when Singletary had him, he was so bad, I thought he would be as big a bust as Russel and Leaf...

Hahahaha even in Smith's so-called bad years he smashed on your joke team. In 2 starts in '06 and 2010 Smith had 5 td's and 1 pick against the Raiders, both wins. How can a Raider fan criticize moves made by any other franchise you gave up 2 first round picks for a year and a half of Carson Palmer. You have by far the worst roster in pro football and it doesn't look like it's getting better any time soon. The only time I ever even hear people mention the Raiders is as a punchline to a joke. Heyward-Bey over Crabtree, Jamarcus #1 overall, Robert Gallery, your best first rounder in recent memory is a kicker hahahahahahah. I love the Raiders the absolute clowns of pro sports always providing us sports fans with laughs.

You're right....it's only correct about 99.99% of the time.

It is very clear you are proud of your son Mrs Smith. Funny thing though the 9ers seemed to take off without your son and they were very happy to be rid of him~

I'm not a Smith fan but to be fair the niners were 6-2 with him last year.
That's not counting the game against the rams that he played about the first qtr.

it ended up a tie.

They were 5-2 in the regular season with kapernick.

Not really "taking off"

Did their schedule get tougher in the second half of the season?.

Don't know about them taking off, but their offense became more dynamic and explosive with CK at the helm.

The 9ers were so good they could have been 6-2 with Cassel

Matt Cassel ain't beating the Packers, Lions, Bills, or Seahawks.
