PFSIKH Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Projects don't work anymore. Are we going to invest 2 years in someone and 1) it's not working out or 2) he's with us for a year maybe 2 and then gets a big deal. With the cap the way it is you need your rooks to contribute. If Denver didn't spend their 2nd rounder on a project qb and got a starting capable defensive back, they could have went to the Sb You have to play the cards dealt you. If there was a QB that was a 'sure fire' prospect in the mold of RGIII/Luck, then the Chiefs would draft him and give him the ball. The top prospect Geno Smith is a solid prospect, but I do not think anyone is saying he warrants the top pick. First round pick? Yes. Top 10? Maybe. Again, my point only is this, given the scenario outlined. If there is no great prospect at QB (a position of need for the Chiefs), then draft Locekl and solidify the LT for the future. Draft a 2nd/3rd round QB prospect. Develop them for two years behind Alex Smith. Then evaluate him his last two years of his rookie contract. The cap cost is not that great. Everything I have read or heard has said Geno Smith is a good prospect. The consensus is he is not NFL ready like RGIII/Luck so he will need to development. Now, you can do that on the fly. Or, if you are not entirely convinced he is the be all/end all at QB, then take the T and develop the QB behind Alex Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFSIKH Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Remember when everyone wanted Cassel? LOL. And the Patriots threw Vrabel into the deal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The Chiefs have Brandon Albert at LT unless they are dumb enough to let him go (beast). Star's heart condition makes it harder to go his way with the first overall pick. It will be really interesting to see what they do with one. Even Moore is a lot like Hali, though I'm sure that won't stop Reid if he likes him enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFSIKH Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 And where has that gotten them recently. Not far..... 98-30 8-7 playoffs with 2 Superbowl appearances. Short of the 5 teams that have won a title since the Patriots last championship, which of the other 26 would not kill for that? Around a quarter of their roster will be over 30 entering this season. Yeah it sucks to be the Patriots...said no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you gotta lower the bar when your team consistently disappoints you in the postseason. See, we're lucky. Our bar is set perpetually low.

SenorGato Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Albert is gonna be twice the price of Joeckel and he has back issues. Oh man I would love for him to hit FA. Guys a beast on the field. Former LG for D'Brick at Vahginya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Oh man I would love for him to hit FA. Guys a beast on the field. forget about it. Some team like the Bears, Cards, Rams or Chargers is gonna pay him 8-10per to be a left tackle. He's a good player but will be real pricey. and he has back issues.

PFSIKH Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I thought it was only about championships? It is. However, lets be realistic. It is better to watch an 98-30 team that lost two superbowls, than it is too watch a team in perpetual mediocrity. Plus, I am going out on a limb, if the Patriots ever make it back to the Superbowl in the post-Brady and/or Belichick era. I am going to be thankful because as I get older those opportunities become fewer and fewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmouth Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Pittsburgh?
