Weird rumor about the Chiefs getting Seymour

And as a NE fan, he should know it. BB values 2nd round picks much more than 1sts.

Are you both trying to argue that a 2nd-round pick is better than a 1st-rounder? That, somehow, the Pats getting a 2nd-rounder from KC would be equal to or worse than them getting a 1st-rounder? I'm not sure how to even respond to that.

You can TRADE 1st-rounders if you don't want them. 1st-rounders are better than 2nd-rounders because... well... they're first! You can find a franchise player in the 1st if it's a high pick.

A 2nd-round pick--probably a mid-round pick--for Richard Seymour, assuming he can be re-signed, is a ridiculously good deal. Draft picks are a crapshoot. When Tom Brady throws to Wes Welker, you're looking at a 6th-rounder throwing to an undrafted player. The Steelers' James Harrison went undrafted. Your new QB was a 7th rounder. Ever hear "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"?
