Geno Smith hopes the Chiefs are serious about drafting him

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.

I think they will be better this year... Not by much but when KC is in the Division you always have a chance to win 2

**Dave Lane** · 03-31-2013, 01:34 PM

Yes its too risky to take a QB at #1 but #3 tru 8 is just right. Meanwhile we take the second or 3rd best OT at #1 when we don't even need one. Brilliant!!

Oakland has too many holes to reach for a QB that would have been a 2nd rounder had he been in the mix last years draft. This is the only place I have read such rave reviews about the guy. Most everywhere else he is thought of as the best of a very weak class~

I am not claiming the Raiders have burned the league down or anything but damn we did have a pretty good 3 years or so when Chucky was around.

Geno is a better prospect than Tannehill, coming out of an identical situation - but he would have been drafted in the second round?

Geno compares very favorably to Tannehill, who went in the top 10 last year.

Well, sure, with the Chiefs' quarterback.

Both teams have little to talk smack about, however some of the trash talk on the Raiders is humorous coming from fans of a team 20 years removed from a playoff win and over four decades removed from the Super Bowl~
