"Not only is it a better opportunity for you to get what you want, but if there is an opportunity to make a trade, you are one spot higher, and the value of that pick is going to be that much greater," the GM said.

I was actually thinking about that this weekend.
With the Chiefs now selecting ahead of Seattle, it significantly increases our trade value to move back.
If a guy like Tannehill is available when we pick, a team may want to jump Seattle to draft him. Same goes for Richardson, who could also go to Seattle.
