Chiefs Chiefs Are "Begging" To Get Out Of 1st Pick - Page 37

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."

Both Reid and Dorsey have picked guys just like Geno in the past in McNabb and Rogers.

They don't have to start Geno immediately which allows Reid to immerse him into his philosophy without any pressure. Dorsey's Packers sat Rogers for three years before unleashing him on NFL defenses. It's an ideal situation for both player and team. Add to that that Alex Smith was not extended beyond his Niners deal.

They filled all the holes on the team via free agency and are able to use this draft to get high ceiling guys that they can groom into the team/league over the next couple of years versus being forced to plug and play rookies as the former regime was wont to do.

If Dorsey sticks with his "best player available" statement, that guy is Geno.

Any team dumb enough to make the trade. Nobody thinks this guy is the best available at 1. He is trying to create interest. They blew their cover with the trade for Alex Smith. They should have worked with the 9ers to do the deal after the draft~

They better not

They've gotta at least take Fisher if they take OT.

Saw a report on NFLN last night saying they thought Lane Johnson would actually end up being the best of the three.

He won't be making the offensive draft picks dude. I swear the ignorance is astronomical. Bradley will be overseeing defensive picks only and Caldwell will making offensive.
