Chiefs Would You Trade Our 3rd Rnd Pick For Boldin? - Page 2

Marco Polo · 01-22-2010, 09:44 AM

Per Rotoworld:

Beat writer Kent Somers expects the Cardinals to be "earnest in their efforts to trade" Anquan Boldin this offseason.

Their best offer last year was reportedly a third-round pick and another player, and Somers suspects that offer might be enough to do the trick this time around. Boldin, 29, has been injury prone as he enters the final year of his contract. The Cardinals are 6-2 without him over the past two years, and they're confident in Steve Breaston and Early Doucet replacing his production. Jan. 22 - 10:34 am et

Since we have an upper third round pick, perhaps we don't need to send a player along with it?

Derrick Johnson.

Yeah, that guys averaging 2 td's a game and over 50 ypc for them...

I think I'll defer to Haley on this one. He should know the guy about as well as anyone and if he brings him here I'll be happy or if he stays away I'll think he has a reason. Not blind faith in Haley, just saying he should know this situation and player better than anyone here in this one instance.

ToxSocks · 01-22-2010, 10:19 AM

I'd say **** yes. I'd rather have a 29 year old Boldin that gives us a legitamet (sp) WR on the outside then another Alex Magee.

Charles
Boldin
Bowe
Maybe Chambers.

Now we are talking explosive at the skill position. Boldin would fill a huge need till Haley can draft and develop some decent WR's.

And who gives a shit how much he wants to get paid. Uncapped year coming up.

I'd rather see the Chiefs find a younger free agent or draft someone. If the Chiefs were ready to make their run and they were a couple of players away, I'd go for it, but not under the current circumstances.

I agree, this team has done too much of that shit over the years. Keep the picks and develop their own wide receivers, they now have the coaching staff to pull it off.

Mr. Laz · 01-22-2010, 10:22 AM

actually the real question should be "Would you give a huge contract to a 29 year old receiver who has been injured the last 2 seasons?"

Brock · 01-22-2010, 10:23 AM

Nope, I sure wouldn't.

RedThat · 01-22-2010, 10:28 AM

After Boldin and Haley had their feud on the sidelines, could that possibly have an effect on their relationship? Where it would have an impact on the interest level from the Chiefs forefront?

I wonder if Haley would want him? Thats the part that concerns me.

**bevischief** · 01-22-2010, 10:43 AM

No not at this time, we have too many needs to spend on a player that wants to get paid and has a history of injuries, maybe this would make sense after the draft and free agency.

I would for a couple of reasons. 1. the guy is consistent, and 2. he produces

can't go wrong with that?

the injuries are a concern, yes, but the fact of the matter is, Boldin is a gamer. If we go by stats, and history, it shows that he is good to play for at least 3 quarters of a season. Not bad. Only once in his career has he played for half a season. Plus, WR is a position that guys can play well into their 30's anyway.

*I'd be for the move, but I also think the Chiefs should re-sign Chambers. Having a WR corps of Bowe, Boldin, and Chambers is really stout.

*Even if Boldin got hurt, we couldn't take away what he would bring in productivity. I still think Chambers could fill in as a starter for those 4 games, and having him to go alongside with Bowe and Charles, I could live with that.

Yeah, so the "injury prone" Anquan Boldin has had over 1,000 receiving yards in four of his last five seasons. He had over 800 in his down year. That type of production is totally not worth a 3rd round draft pick.

beer bacon · 01-22-2010, 10:59 AM

It is pretty obvious that the Chiefs can just pull any WR off the street and get good production. You Boldin detractors are geniouses.

That really doesn't make much sense. If we're ever going to get back to winning, we need to find winning players. We all know that a franchise can turn around within one season if you add the right players. Boldin could be one of those players. By adding Bolden, you could say that we've fixed our WR issues that have been plaguing this team for the last decade AT LEAST. If a Pro-Bowl WR that is NOT on the downside of his career isn't worth a 3rd rnd pick, then we are being too damn picky.

I'd rather have a proven Pro-Bowl WR that we KNOW will have a substantial impact on the offense rather then trying to draft a Rookie WR in the 3rd round of a weak Wr class. And if the presence of Boldin equates to maybe 7 more points per game, then how many more games would we win?

Good football teams fill there roster with good football players whenever the opportunity arises.

How good do we look at the skill positions if we had:

Charles
Boldin
Bowe
Chambers (maybe) On Offense

And

Flowers
Carr
Berry
Page
Johnson
Spikes
Dorsey

On D.

That's impact right there. Especially with a Weiss and Crennel coaching.
