Would you trade LJ to the Texans/Raiders/Lions for a 1st and 3rd rounder? - Page 2

**BigRedChief** · 12-29-2006, 09:53 AM

King Carl would never make that trade but for the sake of a good conversation lets say its possible.............

We are old. We need fresh legs. We have at least 5-6 spots to fill to make us a contender. Do we step back before we go foward? Do we just do the best with what we got and try to add in as best as we can?

The root point (as I see it) is do you believe we can compete for a division title and or a legitamate Super Bowl run in the next two years?

If you think we are not going to be ready in two years you make the trade.

If you think we are going to be ready in two years don't make the trade.

Giving LJ to the raiders would make me cry.

You should change poll to just Texans/Lions....no raiders.

Ok - I get it now. You were born in '79. You've only been part of this nightmare since about the mid 80's.

Let me tell you something - the more things change the more they stay the same.

Expect the Lions and even Arizona to be in the SB before we are.

No Hell-no LJ is our future..shore-up the Oline get some DTs and OLBs..we would be ready for a run if game-day coaching steps-up too...

The Arizona Cardinals have won a playoff game since the last time we won a playoff game.

Might as well, he will want out of KC anyway.
He's a me guy.

Is there really a difference?

patteeu · 12-29-2006, 10:09 AM

I definitely think it's possible for the Chiefs to make a serious run next year if they have a good offseason (I'm always optimistic) and I think ANY NFL team can make a serious run two years from now (including the Texans/Raiders/Lions), but I think I'd still make the trade.

I'd be a little hesitant to make it with the Raiders because we'd have to face a motivated LJ twice per year, but I'd probably do it with the other two. I'd definitely make the trade if it was for two 1sts or if it were for this years 1st and 2nd (which is roughly the same value).

I'd make the trade because RBs don't typically have a long shelf life (and it looks like we are going to ride LJ hard if we keep him) and because I'd love to have an early 1st round shot at a Roaf or Sapp-like lineman or possibly a QB. I say this without really having much of a clue about what kind of talent will be available in the upcoming draft.

Yes, mediocre is on the cusp of being good.
