That's nothing against Trent Green at all, it's gauging the trade and how it effected the teams success.
Sorry, but some of us still think the Chiefs should win playoff games...Green played in 1 playoff game in 5 years.
The right decision (as it almost always is) would have been to draft Drew Brees with that pick.

Trent Green is not the reason we didn't win any playoff games so that argument is not valid.
You are using the assumption that we draft Brees and then draft enough good players so that 3- 5 years later we have a contending team.
Knowing what you know now, yea that would have been the thing to do, at that time it ended up as a 4 year window where we had one of the best offenses in the league if not the best. We failed to win PO games because of Greg Robinson and Vermiel being too loyal to his guys.
The big mistake was not developing a guy behind Green. They were in win now mode and mortgage the future. It had nothing to do with being "scared" to draft a QB as people here like to imply.
