It is a quarterback league, and Geno is the best quarterback to be drafted this year. Who knows when we'll ever be in a position like this again to be able to pick up a potential game changer at the position. So what if we signed Chase Daniel and traded for Alex Smith? I'd rather be stacked at quarterback than stacked at offensive tackle (or any other position for that matter).

It really just boggles the mind. Just goes to show how many people hang their hats on the words of the ESPN talking heads. [Reply]

Who's calling Geno a no brainer, top ten pick? Everyone is saying he'll go top ten, but it's a reach. [Reply]

Still trying to buy in to a $10,000 table with a $5 chip. [Reply]

I'm not talking about people guessing he'll go top ten, I guess he will too, I'm talking about people saying that's where he belongs. [Reply]

Me? I could care less about the compensation given for Alex. If we come out of this draft with a franchise QB, anything else out of this draft is just icing on the cake.

Time to stop comparing this draft to previous drafts.
There's not a single elite prospect in this draft.
Geno is head and shoulders above the other QB prospects in the league and is no worse than the other top players are at their positions.
In this draft, he absolutely deserves to be a top 10 pick. [Reply]
