Props to CP!!! We essentially got 2 1st rounders for JA!
We received the Vikings 1st round pick #17 overall and BOTH of their 3rd round picks (#73 and #82).
Now, follow along here: If you take the draft value chart, the combined value of the two 3rd round picks is 405 pts which is equivalent to the #17 or #18 pick in the 2nd round this year. Now, a 1st round pick NEXT YEAR (2009) is equivalent to a 2nd round pick THIS YEAR (2008), meaning the #17 or #18 pick in the 2nd round is equivalent to the #17 or #18 pick overall in 2009. Strictly from a draft value chart standard, we received the #17 overall pick in 2008 and the #17 or #18 pick overall in 2009. Just giving credit where credit is due, and we are in great position now (if our draft board is setup correctly - a big if) to get SEVEN (7) of the top 100 players in the draft. :) |
I agree
This was good for us. Allen is a risky investment. We will be able to load up on talent.

Doesn't deserve any ****ing props. Booo freaking boo for this trade.

Carl's a loser, screw him.
Congrats to JA, he may see a Super Bowl now and is rich to boot. |

The way I see it, when you have studs on the O or D line, you don't run them out of town thinking they will be easily replaced through the draft. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with what we got for him in this trade, I just wish it shouldn't have gotten to this point in the first place - thanks Carl, you dink. |
I hate to see Jared go. He was the best we had on our defense no question.
Things change, people move on for whatever reasons. The NFL is a business. Don't take it personal. I think we got the best deal we could really ask for in my humble opinion. What it really comes down to is what players we draft. That can only be answered in another year or two i think. This will be a very interesting draft day. This might make a few people mad but i say trade down a few spots, still be able to pick up Clady and get another two picks, oh yeah!! |

However, what's done is done there and if you look at it as what it's been this entire year - Allen wanted out - CP did a great job at getting excellent compensation. |

Its a pipe dream to say this is the same as 2 1st. I'd rather have 2 3rd than one 2nd based on the curse of the 2nd rounder for the Chiefs.
