It's a bad way to view the trade alone by the picks we gained, because the picks we gained likely changed our entire draft strategy.

Would we still have drafted Flowers in the 2nd had we only had one first round pick? I dunno. It's hard to say. That trade allowed for the best draft KC has had in a long time and I still credit that trade more than Herm's over-rated scouting skills.

Ummm nope.Great trade for KC, hell JC alone is worth more than Allen is and has been since the trade.

Allen has 74 sacks and forced 14 fumbles in his 5 years in Minny. He's made 4 probowls and is a 3 time all pro in those 5 years.

They got more than they bargained for. Allen was a better player for them than he was for KC. They overpaid for him in draft picks then, which is why I liked the deal. Great pass rushers are expensive man, and Allen is a great pass rusher.

Nobody got screwed in this deal. People must have forgotten how bad of shape Minny's pass rush was in. They had been drafting bust pass rushers with 1st round picks for years. It worked out in exactly the way they needed it too. It worked out for us too. They didn't need Charles. They have the only RB in the NFL BETTER than Charles. We had LJ, whom I never liked due to his woman beating lifestyle and always thought was over-rated as a player.

Their QB situation, including the fallout from appeasing Favre, is the real reason they've had problems and they've still had far fewer than KC has.
