What does this mean? It means the Chiefs first round draft choice was worth three times as much as the two second rounders they gave up for Alex Smith. They did NOT trade the equivalent of their first round draft choice for Alex Smith. If the Chiefs had been drafting #16 overall, then the argument would be valid based upon draft value.

This where reading comprehension can come into play. I sad they gave up "A" 1st round pick, not "their" first round pick. As you pointed out the picks they gave up is "1st round value" and would likely 5-10 teams would have taken that trade off this year to get up into the 1st round. They gave up what amounts to a 1st round pick. Thanks for backing me up on that one.
