Chiefs didn't need Chris Jones, but he was a good value pick up for the future. We will most likely sign Poe and have our starters for the next 2 years at DL with Nick Williams/Roches behind them.
It makes all the sense in the world to have a QB like Lynch developing behind Alex for 2-3 years just like Rodgers. Alex is here for 3 more seasons on his contract. It's great timing.
It's also bullshit about "smart QB's". It is what it is...bullshit. McNabb got a 14 on the wonderlic. Vick was not smart at all.
Just bc the Chiefs talked to Dallas about trading down doesn't mean the Chiefs didn't call teams to discuss moving up for Lynch. That's most likely what happened. Dorsey called a team to ask what it would cost to move up for Lynch, the team told the media/Lynch's agent and that's where the rumor came from.
IMO if the Chiefs hadn't got ****ed by Roger, then we would have used our 3rd to trade up for Lynch with Dorsey's longtime friend, Seattle GM John Schneider, and then did the same trade down deal with our 2nd pick.
