It's not really about quantity, it's about quality. This is how the Pats operated in the past. If they saw a need, they were not shy to use picks to try to get it. My guess is that if we are starting to trade picks now, there is a high probability that we are trying to unload that No 3 picks to get more picks...

Yeah, because a 34 year old broke dick who gave a team 64 tackles and 4 sacks as an edge rusher is worth a rat shit for a 2-14 team that needs to rebuild everything from the ground up.

Again, it's not only this, but we're wasting Dorsey.

There's no reason to complain about this unless we gave up a decent draft pick. Herm's way of only playing rookies isn't the way to build an NFL team.

My bad... but it was through the 09 season. I just haven't found anything saying he was getting cut.

This reminds of the KC Athletics, and the NY Yankees a little.

Maybe it was LJ that got traded.

They're competing for a Superbowl now, and it's not like they have a great pass rusher waiting in the wings to take over for him.

Shit he got almost as many sacks as the whole Chiefs team last year. You should be happy :)

Seriously though it appears this is a move to bring some veteran leadership to a team that doesn't have much especially on the D side of the ball.

Anything we gave up is too much.

Considering we are transitioning to a 3-4 and we have zilch for LBers, I can't entirely say it's a bad move. Surely, Pioli recognizes Vrabel is at the end of his career and is bringing someone in to help us install the system to help there be less of a learning curve. I'm warming up to the idea, depending on the compensation.

I-M-P-L-O-S-I-O-N! Everyone calm the Hell down and have a drink..This is not that big of a friggin deal!!!!! We have $57,000,000.00 to spend!!!!! and he brings more to the table over the next few seasons than any rookie from the 3rd round on could.

Per kffl on Vrabel
 
Chiefs | Close to acquiring Vrabel

Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports New England Patriots LB Mike Vrabel is in Kansas City undergoing a physical so he can then be traded to the Kansas City Chiefs.

One thread with people bitching about losing Waters because it's a loss of 'veteran leadership' and another thread bitching about making a trade for Vrabel.

I love the smell of chiefsplanet in spring.
