Suddenly a team that really wants a T is going to have to move up to 3 to ensure it and really, there is a gap between the top 2 and Johnson in terms of risk, so you probably want to push yourself all the way up to 2 at worst.
And at the package it would cost to move up to 2, might as well go to 1 and get the guy you really want instead of KC's leftovers.
If this were the Packers or Steelers, it would work out perfect for them. As it is the Chiefs, we'll end up tripping over our dicks and nothing will go right. That said, there's still that outside possibility that God will oversleep tomorrow and something good might actually happen to this forlorn ****ing franchise.

What's ****ing crazy is this whole possibility of creating a market for teams looking to move up to get one of the LTs is only plausible if the Chiefs didn't make the Albert contract and interest in trading him all very public.... without that we NEVER would have teams reaching out about 1.1 bc they figured find a draft partner around 3-5 and give up less....
