Chiefs Chiefs Are "Begging" To Get Out Of 1st Pick - Page 14

houstonwhodat · 05:02 AM

According to this reporter at SB Nation, the Chiefs are "begging" to get out of the 1st pick in the draft.

April 15th:

"The Kansas City Chiefs earned the top spot in the NFL Draft with their 2-14 record last season, but it seems increasingly likely that they won't be the ones to actually make the first selection: Mike Freeman of CBS writes that the Chiefs are "begging" for the opportunity to move the pick."

"It's no surprise that the Kansas City Chiefs are open to trades for the No. 1 pick. They've already traded for a quarterback in Alex Smith, and the near-consensus best player available, Luke Joeckel, doesn't seem to be inspiring huge amounts of excitement in Kansas City, especially since Branden Albert has been a solid option for them at the position ever since they used their first-round pick on him in 2008. It is a little bit surprising how open they seem to be about it. Andy Reid said the team was open to it all the way back in February, and GM John Dorsey made similar statements a few weeks ago. But that's nothing compared to all the rumors of behind-the-scenes machinations trying to trade the pick. For what it's worth, Dan Kadar of Mocking the Draft said moving the pick was a "dream scenario" when he analyzed the Chiefs' choices in February."

"No team has traded a No. 1 pick since 2004 when the Chargers traded Eli Manning to the Giants, but that was a different scenario, as Manning had publicly stated he wouldn't play for the Chargers. Despite the ultimatum, they were still able to get a good haul for him - the fourth pick in that draft, Phillip Rivers, as well as first and third-round picks in 2005. The Rams were able to get an arm and a leg from the Redskins for the second pick in last year's draft, receiving last year's No. 6 pick and a second-rounder as well as first-round picks in this upcoming draft and in 2014. However, those trades were both for franchise-caliber quarterbacks, something this class has a dearth of."

We stay at 1 and we will choose the best player available, which is Luke Joeckel, Eric Fisher or Dion Jordan.

The people saying Geno Smith is the best player available are the desperate, stupid fans who want him simply because he's a QB.

Only if Geno Smith actually turns into a franchise QB.

Potential will get you fired .......

Luke Joeckel should not even be in the discussion of BPA.

Trade that pick to the Saints.

Not sure what you'll get though.

I hate it when I have to agree with penbook.

It makes me think I'm doing something wrong.

If they pick Dion Jordan and say he was the BPA in the whole draft, I'm gonna have to call liar on that one.

I can see Jordan and Geno as the only BPA in this draft.

And I ask again, what was he supposed to say? You think in the depths of his mind he really woudln't rather be sitting on what Matt Ryan is today, than Jake Long?

I don't know. I'm not in his head.

You can't say either way because we don't know what Matt Ryan would have turned into there. He's had a pretty great situation there in Atlanta.

Neither of them are the best football player available. If you take either, you're taking them for what they could be, not what they are.

They are the best at their positions though.

I said that too chum

RunKC · 04-15-2013, 08:23 PM

The fans that want Geno remind me of the Jags and Vikings in 2011. Overdrafting a questionable QB prospect who didn't deserve to be picked where he was and then a few years later they realize that other players picked directly after you had better players who are making way more of an impact.

So if KC is begging out of #1 that means they don't want a LT right?

I find that to be good news.

Stories like this getting out there will sure help us get the best possible value for our pick!
