NFL Draft Lions taking Smith means Chiefs trading down?

journeyscarab · 03-23-2009, 11:27 AM

Could this be the situation for the Chiefs if the Lions take Smith and Rams take Monroe, could this mean teams like Denver, New York Jets, 49ers, and Vikings move up to our spot and we get their first and other picks?

Hopefully.

I would love to see this situation happen so we can get a decent pick in the first round like Everette Brown in a lower position and gain back our 2nd rounder.

My ideal scenario.

TRADE DOWN!

**The Franchise** · 03-23-2009, 11:42 AM

The question is....how far do you trade down?

Jaguars at 8? Garrard is over 30 and they could use a QB to sit behind him for 1-2 years.
49ers at 10? They really don't have a sure fire QB on the roster right now.
Jets at 17?
Bucs at 19?
Vikings at 22?

I don't get why people assume every year it has to be our pick teams trade for.

journeyscarab · 03-23-2009, 11:44 AM

I'd say Jaguars or 49ers because 1. They are closer to our pick, they arn't in the division, and you could get Everette Brown or Brian Orakpo or Cushing near these two picks. I really like this scenario. I think it's a great situation. We need more picks.

**The Franchise** · 03-23-2009, 11:45 AM

FWIW.....getting as close to the draft value chart...it would take this for the above mentioned teams.

Jaguars - #8 and #39 for a total of 1910 points
49ers - #10 and #43 for a total of 1770
Jets - #17, #52 and #111 for a total of 1402

The #3 pick is worth 2200 points. So anything after #10 and the value starts to drop off a lot.

I just don't think we'll be able to find any takers unless we throw the draft value chart out the window.

Trading down is the ideal scenario but if we get stuck with the third pick I'd have to say the best move would be to take Monroe if he is there. You can't go wrong by building a dominant offensive line.

Oh...if we trade down....then I don't see us getting the greatest value out of it. Unless Pioli finds a way to get a pick from next years as well.

Because Stafford might be a hot commodity if the 1st two teams pass on him. If we give people the idea we're going to take him, there's no reason we can't entertain some offers.

Picks from next year will almost assuredly be involved.

If Stafford is there and we can't trade down, we should take him. If not him, then Curry or Brown before Monroe.
