No way.

Whenever you can trade a young, high-quality player for the possibility of drafting his direct replacement, you simply have to make that move.

Albert's back better be ****ed.

so they are trying to use Albert to recover the cost of Alex Smith?

Trying to undo the damage of the trade for Alex Smith.

So this is how they are trying to get their picks back from the Alex Smith trade.

Or you could have just NOT TRADED FOR ALEX ****ING SMITH!

Alex Smith for Brandon Albert? WINNING

I don't mind this at all. I think that is more than fair. I think we overrate Albert a bit...I think he's solid, don't get me wrong...but he's not a world beater and he is coming off an injury.

I think people need to settle down on this board.

It's the impending waste of the #1 overall pick that's even more egregious than throwing away a high-quality, young LT.

Just differing levels of stupid, and there's no way of justifying it.

Completely agree with you :toast:

Back Spasms dude.

Not really - why not keep your high-quality young player and pick another player that will IMPROVE your team NOW, rather than draft a player just to replace what you lost?

The reality is, we dont know what impact any of these moves will have until the season starts or a year or two down the road. If the Chiefs start to win games, thats all that matters.

Yeah, because giving up 1 whole sack in 13 games is awful.

Overrated.
