Stronger arm is not a better arm. Go ask Jamarcus Russell, Kyle Boller, David Klingler and Jeff George about that.
Stafford, in college, had zero touch. He's still below mediocre in that regard now. And Geno can drop it on a dime from 50 yards in-between two defenders. That's enough of an arm for me and better than we've ever had in a Chiefs uniform. |

Geno was great his year in the pro style offense. But that was in a shitrific conference. Though they did play LSU/NC State/Pitt.

That's my point. You had other teams in front of you then. The #1 seed only jerks around about players they think others will trade up for.

They've had their chances at the top tackles, and probably should have drafted Okung when it was early and moving Albert wasn't an issue. |

http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/stor...r-lane-johnson The 2008 NFL Draft is remembered for the two first-round home runs at quarterback — the Atlanta Falcons' Matt Ryan and Baltimore Ravens' Joe Flacco. But the standout position was offensive tackle. The class produced standouts as the Miami Dolphins' Jake Long (now with the St. Louis Rams), the Broncos' Ryan Clady and the Houston Texans' Duane Brown quickly emerged among the AFC's best. Throw in Branden Albert, Sam Baker and Gosder Cherilus, and it was a pretty good tackle haul in Round 1. The 2013 Draft class has the same potential. Luke Joeckel, Eric Fisher and Lane Johnson are ready to have an immediate impact on the left side with their Pro Bowl-caliber skills. There also are rising prospects who might help this year's class trump the outside blocking riches of five years ago. 1. Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M (6-6, 306 pounds). Joeckel looks the part of a long-term athletic rock at left tackle, and there are no concerns about his character or football instincts. He is the best overall prospect in this draft, and it would be shocking if he slipped as far as No. 4 to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Kansas City Chiefs could still take him at No. 1, despite using the franchise tag on Albert. Having played in a fast-paced offense with Johnny Manziel will only help Joeckel in the NFL. 2. Eric Fisher, Central Michigan (6-7 1/4, 306). Fisher is doing his best to push Joeckel for the draft's top position, and tackle-needy teams should gladly take him in the top five after Joeckel is off the board. The home state Detroit Lions would be a great fit, as Fisher could replace retired Jeff Backus. 3. Lane Johnson, Oklahoma (6-6, 303). Johnson might slip out of the top 10, but that will be based only needs of drafting teams once Joeckel and Fisher are snagged. He's not quite at their level but still will be a fine immediate starter to plant at left tackle. The San Diego Chargers would be thrilled to get him at No. 11. 4. Menelik Watson, Florida State (6-5 1/8, 310). Watson has been a late riser because of his pure athleticism. He has excellent foot skills, which is why there is a growing belief he will transition nicely to left tackle. He is a bit raw, given he used to play basketball and is new to big-time football competition. 5. D.J. Fluker, Alabama (6-4 5/8, 339). Fluker stands out as the powerful right tackle of this class, and that shouldn't be a surprise considering he's a product of the Crimson Tide's run-blocking machine. He has improved his conditioning and should sneak into the latter half of the first round. 6. Kyle Long, Oregon (6-6 1/8, 313). He's the son of Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive lineman Howie Long and brother of Rams defensive end Chris Long, the No. 2 overall pick in 2008 Draft. Kyle Long developed strong hands while run-blocking as a guard, has the nimble feet of a left tackle and makes good use of his frame. His pedigree should make him a solid second-round pick.

51 TDs to 33 Ints. That's not Geno level numbers - and he had a running game and defense to support him. He has a cannon. But there is also a reason that the Lions made Calvin Johnson the richest man in the NFL - because Stafford still has no touch and needs a guy like Johnson to make those plays downfield. Right now, he's Culpepper with Moss. He was drafted that high for the same reason guys like Jamarcus Russell, Jay Cutler and Kyler Boller were drafted high - huge arm. But let's not make it out like he was the second coming of Elway. He wasn't. |

If you had been paying attention in other threads I have said I would be happy if they drafted Geno #1. But some of the people here only care about drafting a QB in the first round - and don't even give a shit if it is a good one. As if the very act of drafting a QB #1 is the goal. I don't care how we win, as long as we win. The draft is a means to an end, it is not the end. We don't play the games in order to draft, we draft in order to play the games. Many on this forum have lost site of that. |
