The reason it is dragging on your knees is probably because your behind the bar too much. If you can't get your chest up without your neck extended (very bad for you) then you need to work on that and you may want to work on thoracic mobility as well. Your basic technique is good though. Your butt may be a bit low....

you have to look at all the geometries coming together. If your chest is up and shoulders back, your shins not more than about an inch from the bar, your shoulders slightly forward of the bar so that it lines with the scapula, your hips as close to the bar as possible....this will produce your position. I.E. if one element is comprimised then your aren't in ideal position but if each element are in place within the limitations set by the other elements you are pretty much there. After that a little bit of wiggle while keeping the glutes engaged and putting some tension on the bar and you should feel it when it locks into place. It's hard to explain to someone without showing them in person...

Negative looks pretty good. Just try to begin by bringing your butt back first while maintaining your lower back strong. Then don't really start bending your knees until the bar starts passing them. This give you the most control and is basically the reverse of the lift itself.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
