Chiefs Chiefs Are "Begging" To Get Out Of 1st Pick - Page 17

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."

Look we aren't completely off base here. I know GMs make mistakes. I have lived it for 20 years now.

I also know just because they become KC GM's and coaches they don't all of a sudden grow a fear of drafting a QB and become incompetent.

People here have no differentiation skills.

Which would be great if you were 13 and had a hot teacher.

He looked horrible. Not just bad horrible.

He looked bad against Clemson the his junior bowl game?

Against LSU as a Junior?

Against Texas as a senior?

GTFO with that shit.

Why does it work for one, but no the other?

For some reason the fact nobody else wants Geno in the top 3 or more gets continually overlooked.

Riiiiiiiggghhht....

I know what Geno did and did not do in 2012. I think I'll trust my own well-researched analysis over untrue statements like, "shit down his leg."

If "shit down his leg" describes Geno, it describes several fantastic pro QBs who had handfuls of losses in college.

Including.... *gasp*...

Andrew. Luck.

Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnn

What about the fact that everyone in the top 5 or 6 wants to trade down, what does that say about all these players at the top? Talk about something that gets overlooked.

And that was when? His defense allowed on average 48 points allowed in Genos losses.

It tells you they aren't that good,including Geno. WTF do you mean it's overlooked? That's been the topic for 50 posts.

Some of these threads are going to be maniacal in a few years to look back at. Hell, in about a week and a half they will be.

This team should beg to get out of the NFL.

His defense gave up the safety where he threw the ball in the ground and then pouted on the sideline?

O.city · 04-15-2013, 08:49 PM

JFC. There are legit concerns about Geno as a prospect. Really serious concerns. But him "pouting" on the sidelines?

I've never ever witnessed a successful NFL QB get upset and go "pout" on the sideline.
