Yeah, that was my expectation as well. It's hard to wheel and deal with 6 picks. And if you sacrifice 2015 picks, you just put yourself behind the 8-ball then.

I think if we're ever active on draft day, it'll be next year, with the likelihood of at least 3 comp picks (which obviously they can't trade, but they may make them feel like they have more freedom to move the ones they can). Not to mention the possibility of trading away players between now and then.

I know, I was adding to what you said.

The Saints traded a 3rd to move up from 27 to 20 to draft Brandin Cooks. I'm sure they knew they had to leap frog both us and the Eagles for a shot at him.

The Browns gave up a 3rd to move up from 26 to 22. They knew they had to get ahead of us to draft Manziel.

The Vikings only gave up a 4th to move up from 40 to 32.

Blah blah blah. Woulda coulda shoulda.

All comes down to opportunity. Reading Peter King's article today, if Cleveland hadn't sweetened the pot to Philly and if the mystery team had swooped in there (I'm guessing said team was Atlanta trying to trade ahead of us for Ford) then we would have been able to trade down with Cleveland...

I expect I'm the minority on this, but if Ford was a/the guy they had targeted, and they think he's going to be a special talent, then I think they were right to take him.

Sometimes you just have to trust your scouting...

And I seriously doubt they would have passed on Manziel....unless the Browns were going to blow us out of the water with an offer.

Yeah, we talk about it like it's the easiest thing in the world to move, but the reality is that there's a lot of facets involved that are completely outside our control.

And I in no way, shape or form think the Chiefs should have moved up for anyone. Down was the only direction to go. Once Manziel was gone, that was over.

I can't make up my mind on that. I still have a gut feeling that they would've traded out if at all possible. If no legitimate offers, do they take him? Maybe.

Great take, we'll definitely have more room to wheel and deal next year.

It didn't seem like there was all that much jockeying around by anyone this year anyway.

This is making me sick to my stomach. ****ing Cleveland Browns !!!!!

I can't believe these morons didn't make a trade just to make a trade.

So he said 8 to 10 trades on 810?? Perhaps he just pulled that number out of his ass and used the station number?

LMAO at all the big swingin dick GM's on this board.

Their standards were too high.

This team needed more picks. They picked up some really good players with the ones they had. It sucks that they didn't try to get more
