Chiefs Would You Trade Our 3rd Rnd Pick For Boldin? - Page 5

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?

Dude, hes proven. Cassel was not. Whole different scenario.

Boldin is unreliable at this stage in his career. By the time the Chiefs are ready to compete, he'll be 30 or 31 and I'd rather have a 24 year old receiver on the team at that time than a guy in his 30's.

With the fifth pick in the third round of the 2010 draft, the Chiefs have the opportunity to select a player that will be with the team for a decade.

Not two years.

yes i would

**The Bad Guy** · 01-22-2010, 01:38 PM

I'm not trading for Boldin. He's broken down.

Sure-Oz · 01-22-2010, 01:45 PM

This won't happen anyway, he'll get traded to a contender. I hope we re-sign chambers though

RustShack · 01-22-2010, 01:50 PM

I would have traded a third last year, I'll trade a fourth this year.

Absolutely. Other than Charles, we haven't had a lot of luck in the draft lately, and especially in the middle rounds. He's a proven commodity, if only for a couple more seasons. Give Cassel some help and sign him.

Just like we should defer to Pioli about Cassel? After all, our GM knows him best, so if he wants to pull the trigger, we know the dude is legit.

Um, yeah, **** that.

Until they prove otherwise, all our head guys have demonstrated is that they're dumb as ****.

Yes, because when he decided AZ was screwing him, he started missing games due to injury. Hmmm, conincedence?

Huh?

If you perform proper due-diligence, luck isn't a factor.

Pissing away draft choices for broken down players with limited playing time is how this team became so talent depleted in the first place.

**MahiMike** · 01-22-2010, 02:39 PM

Yes. This is exactly how we should acquire skill players. Still sticking to my, "draft big uglies" and get skill players thru FA.

Free agency doesn't exist this year.

And btw, that's a horrible plan.

I agree. Since the best skill players are generally available through FA. That's where you're going to get the most talent with the most upside.

It's MUCH harder to fill positions like guard and center through FA, so that's why we have to use the draft.
