Nassib top 5?

I can't believe I'm even typing this, but I had a crazy idea this morning. Everyone is talking about Nassib at 8 now, and that's starting to seem more and more realistic. If the Bills really want him, they probably can't wait until round 2 because everyone who wants Nassib will assume the Bills want him and take him before then. They also are taking a huge risk moving down because there are a lot of teams (like the Jets) who are eyeing Nassib too.

I've also been seeing a lot of chatter about Geno Smith going #4 to the Eagles. The thinking is that he can be Mike Vick's backup for a year and then take over with Chip Kelly's high powered (theoretically) offensive scheme.

So my question is, if the Eagles are going to take Smith at 4, why not take Nassib there instead? Syracuse's offense resembled a less-effective version of Oregon's offense. Nassib showed he could run to the line call out a play and a protection and snap the ball very quickly. He showed the ability to think quickly and march his team down the field in the no huddle. Oh, and he beat Smith head to head the last three times they played, with probably a less-talented team overall.

Like I said, I can't even believe I'm typing this, but is it that crazy? Probably.
