It takes at least 2 teams to do a deal.

both have to be satisfied with what they're getting/giving up.

Sometimes both parties don't agree and nothing gets done. It happens.

I'm sure we tried to trade Flowers. Maybe we tried to trade Berry to everyone's dislike... Probably didn't like what we were going to get in return.

If the deal isn't there, this isn't something you just say "**** it" and do it anyways. We probably didn't like the return so we said forget it.

There are far worse decisions you can make.

Like picking a shitty OT at 1.1 just because everybody says you have to

Just thought I'd mention it, since there's been some recent concern voiced about how active the team was(n't) moving draft picks around this weekend.
Which means the opportunities were there and they still didn't pursue them.

Still doesn't tell us anything cause we don't know what was offered. It's hard to imagine though they couldn't have found one deal good enough to still get a decent player on their board and move back to acquire another pick that would have allowed them to draft 1 F-ing WR out of the 33 taken!

Can we call G.B. Today and trade one of our picks for next year for one of the three WR's they took in this years draft!? :banghead:

It's not just about rd 1.

A third rounder is probably not going to change the team, but getting the first rounder you want or not getting him may in fact change the team.
You do realize that Joe Montana, Jamaal Charles and Justin Houston just to name a few were drafted in the third round right?

It's not hard to imagine at all.

And I think people get too hung up on the WR label. DAT should have a prominent role.

Dorsey has failed miserably this offseason.

Yes the Chiefs had a tough situation… not much salary cap space, lots of free agents, only 6 draft picks, etc., but a creative GM finds a way to still maximize opportunities to improve the team.

Dorsey hasn't done that… in free agency or in the draft.

Dorsey isn't smart enough to pull a trade like the 49ers or Browns.

This.

8 chances to move - found way to **** up each time.

So would it be worth it to forfeit the 2014 1st round pick to pick up an early 3rd rounder and a handful of sixths or something?

We used every second of clock given for our first round pick. The card was turned it with like 10 seconds left.

That wasn't trading up - there was no up. We were trying to trade down. That's gaining picks.

No one knows how many of the 8 were with that 1st pick but it's pretty damned obvious at least one was...
