The Browns and Eagles are dying for a young strong offensive line. Both would entertain thoughts of trading up for Joeckel, still leaving us Smith and some compensatory picks later in the draft.
Does that solidify the argument?

I think the moves yesterday are good in that they make the team appear more flexible, which is beneficial in an effort to trade down (which I don't think will happen), but I don't believe a QB is in any way more likely than it was 24 hours ago. Which stings, speaking as someone who's a big geno fan. I just don't see any realistic scenario where they go that route. |

Now that I think about it, Detroit definitely needs O Line help as well.

No they wouldn't when they can sit right where they are and have Fisher, Joeckel or Johnson fall right into their laps.

Explain to me why anyone is trading up to #1 to get that LT?
The Chiefs aren't taking a LT. The Jaguars aren't taking a LT. The Raiders aren't taking a LT. |

Both the Browns and Eagles already have High Profile LT's in place. You think they're going to trade UP for a back up?

Well that shoots a hole in my argument, those other teams wouldn't want Joeckel either. Why is he even listed as the top pick in every single mock I have seen?

No, because the Chiefs can't plan their draft relying on what they think teams picking after them might do. You can't have the #1 pick and also approach the draft with a reactive mindset dependent on multiple other teams. Trading down is a luxury you cannot and do not plan for.

I will bet you 50.00 to the winner's favorite charity that Joeckel is gone before the 8th pick.

1. This was before Albert was franchised. 2. The media gets a hard on mocking a LT to the Chiefs. FFS.....Joeckel isn't even viewed as the #1 LT in this class by some. |

That's the real issue. Why trade to #1 when you can get equivalent players not only later in the top 10, but in the latter half of the round, or even the early part of the second. I mean, seriously, what player in this class is actually worth moving up for? We're probably stuck right where we are.

In fact, I make the same bet to Detox.
