Chiefs Chiefs Are "Begging" To Get Out Of 1st Pick - Page 39

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."

Luck threw 101.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Chiefs decided to take Eric Fisher with the #1 pick. A lot of buzz out there. #NFLDraft

This could be really good. Plus he even said he wouldnt mind playing RT. This should make Albert feel happy.

Number 1 pick on our RT?

If you guys want the truth about Geno's 20+ passes, if you take away the 1 game against Texas Tech in which he was 1 for 12 on deep passes he ends up having a downfield % of 46.8%

Now how much emphasis should we put into that game Vs Texas Tech? I don't know, but he did also have 4 drops in that game, and wasn't comfortable in this game for whatever reason.

Jeez Polian saying we should either trade down, Get a OT, or get a DT.

Yeah that is not new. Polian and several other GMs have made no secret that they would either take a LT if they could not trade down.

You can't eliminate that game, in fact, that's the only game you can judge him on!!!
