Don't Chiefs need a 2nd or 2 firsts for a successful 2009 draft?
 

Is just getting Curry and then waiting for our 2nd pick in the 3rd round sufficient for chiefs to be successful in the 2009 draft? I'm curious what others are thinking regarding the draft. Wouldn't trading our 3rd pick for more picks make more sense rather than pay Curry huge guarantee money. I won't be surprised if Pioli does this.

In pioli I trust.

I mean trade our 1st round pick for at least a lower 1st and 2nd.

Just relax, Pioli's got the league lubed up and ready for draft day.

im guessing we will get a 2nd round pick some way or another....... piloli just might have to go bitch slap someone.......

If Matt Cassel leads this team to a couple of SB wins in the next ten years, then regardless of any other consideration, it will have been a successful draft.

I think we can have a successful draft without a 2nd Round pick.
It'd be nice to have one though.
Hopefully Pioli can deal on Draft day and get it back.

Big picture... We got Cassel for the #2.

Only the first day picks are any good...the rest of the rounds are worthless. Right? ;)


The more draft picks the better,IMO, assuming we evaluate the talent well and THAT is supposed to be Pioli's forte.

This.

People dont seem to understand that Cassel IS our 2nd round pick and likely will have more immediate impact than any 2nd rounder from the draft this year.

Cassel seems like he has the goods, but my other point is having to pay all that guarantee money to Curry who is an unproven player.

I like getting more picks and paying less guarantee money and getting more for our dollars and more picks.

I guess we have another option on draft day which is to trade LJ for picks.

It's going to be fun to watch what happens.

What makes you think we are getting Curry?

name me one rookie who is a proved player. Does that mean we shouldnt pay any rookies any guaranteed money? Thats not the way the NFL works.

For the first time in years and years I feel like KC is holding the cards and is in a position to be able to make/offer deals and have the advantage instead of the other way around.

If Cassel becomes KC's QBOTF and leads the team to some playoff wins and Curry becomes a pro bowl caliber LB then it is a successful draft/offseason.

You don't think he'll be available at the 3rd pick?
