Look, if the Chiefs had made this trade, I would be bashing it.
If the Raiders had given up a second, it would be a good trade.
The Chiefs gave up a second for a QB who has been statistically better two out of the last three years AND a OLB who helped teach the new defense.
The Raiders are desperate. I don't know if you realize that. The reality is that they have an important stadium decision coming up and they HAVE to be respectable. The fact that they have been laughingstocks in the NFL since 2002 is not going to get it done.
In some ways, I wish the Chiefs had a little more urgency.... but I am glad that they aren't throwing away two high picks on a 31 year old QB who has performed worse than Matt Cassel in two out of the previous three years.
If you are looking up at Matt Cassel in any statistical category, you aren't doing well.
