The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Saturday that the club has acquired QB Matt Cassel and LB Mike Vrabel from New England in exchange for the Chiefs second-round pick (34th overall) in the 2009 NFL Draft. The agreement is contingent on both players reporting and passing their physicals.

“I have a long history with both players,” said Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli. “Mike and Matt are men that I respect both personally and professionally. I look forward to having them as new members of the Chiefs family.”

CaptainMorgan · 02-28-2009, 12:27 PM

Um, actually Raji has 4 years of experience. The issue wasn't whether Sanchez had the production, but enough starts. And not drafting a defensive tackle because of his intelligence is really ****ing stupid. It's one of the positions where physical ability is far ahead of intelligence--tackles and QBs and safeties and LBs are positions where you need to focus more on intelligence.

You seem to be using this issue as a fatal flaw. It raises a flag, but I think you're raising way too big of a stink about this. Again, BC is a much, much tougher school than most schools represented in the first round (US News and World Report confirms this). I promise you that most of the players who pass at Miami would flunk out at BC. Sedrick Ellis scored a 15 and Vince Wilfork scored a 10 on the Wonderlic for crying out loud.

We will see how it goes, I'm excited about it!!! I'm willing to give him a shot, I'm just glad it's not for a 1st rounder!

I hate mother ****ers who post this shit.

If this is the case, there would never be any need for political discussion or sports discussion.

If the analysts on NFL Network are always so spot on, why in god's name aren't all of them able to predict the playoff teams before the season starts?

i am very sorry you didn't like my post.

the point stands, that when people in football believe in him and random people on the internet ballyhoo about how he's horrible i will defer to the professionals for now

Jesus, why not just draft Alex Mack at 3 so we can have our COTF?

I want you to find a post where I said I wanted the Chiefs to draft Eugene Monroe...

You won't.

You just speculated that very thing happening in this ****ing thread...and then someone said something about Albert to RT and I said I figured he would be a better fit at LG...

Calm the **** down. I'd rather have Curry, EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK, as opposed to Monroe.

So

So THE DEAL IS NOT DONE

are you insulting him for only being able to play the 2nd toughest position in football?

This could end up being Schefter's DEAL IS DONE moment.

Interesting move.

Now we get to see the real (without Moss) Cassel. But even if he goes bust, a second round pick is acceptable risk.
