... Geno Smith from West Virginia.
Looks like after the Chiefs couldn't do anything against the Chargers and made Philip Rivers the best quarterback on the planet, they will have the first pick in the draft.
Smith will be the closest thing a team can get to Robert Griffin III, but let's all agree now that he is no RG3.
Jacksonville is also working hard on being the worst team in the league, so it will be a battle to the bottom to take the top pick.
I'm in the camp that believes a team that doesn't make the playoffs should have to win to get the first pick. We do that in a number of leagues I play in and it makes for a better league. I don't believe losing should be rewarded.
Does this make the worst teams worse? Not really. It just means they can't grab the top pick.
How would I do it? The teams that make the playoffs would stay in the order they are now. Winner of the Super Bowl gets the last pick.
The top pick would go to the team with the best record who didn't make the playoffs. Then in order from best that didn't make the playoffs to worst.
