Don't Chiefs need a 2nd or 2 firsts for a successful 2009 draft?

Is just getting Curry and then waiting for our 2nd pick in the 3rd round sufficient for chiefs to be successful in the 2009 draft? I'm curious what others are thinking regarding the draft. Wouldn't trading our 3rd pick for more picks make more sense rather than pay Curry huge guarantee money. I won't be surprised if Pioli does this.

In this draft, is there anyone that disagrees that a #10 and a #74 pick would be nicer than a #3 pick? With those two picks, you could easily get a linebacker like Maualuga (who I believe is a much better fit for the eventual 3-4 than Curry is) and probably Everett Brown or Raji (assuming his trade value doesn't decline majorly after his drug test). In the second round, you can grab one of the top centers or guards off the board.
There's a HUGE difference in sacrificing SOME value - which several of us have said they'll likely have to do - and just giving the pick away because you don't like the draft chart, as you've said in the past.

The scenario you're describing is giving the Niners the 3rd overall pick for less than .70 on the dollar.

You want an exchange rate like that, visit Canada.

Otherwise, this is a business. You're not going to get far giving away your commodities at a huge discount.

Okay, the Chiefs can have a good draft with the picks that they have. Now, the reality, is that the Chiefs first day of the draft will be rather boring if they don't trade down, or they may trade up from the third pick if something is sitting there that they want.

But, if they don't trade down, the first day of the draft will probably be pretty boring for Chiefs fans.

But, the actual quality of the draft? Not an issue with those picks. Heck, if they get a HOF player at #3, and then a starter in the third round... it is a successful draft.

I think we just need to keep in mind that we're still at least one year away from being a playoff contender. While there's a chance we could have a great turnaround like the '08 Dolphins, it just doesn't happen that often.

We got a potential franchise QB prospect with NFL experience and a solid veteran LB with our 2nd. Let's see anyone else do that good with their 2nd round pick.

Branden Albert is going to be a better LT than Clady.

He has all the same physical attributes that Clady does (Clady has slightly longer arms, Albert has slight quicker and more fluid feet), and has a stronger lower body, making him a more physical run blocker.

Going forward, Albert will be a top 3 LT in the NFL.

Exactly this. However, on the bright side, if all you're worried about are the Chiefs selections - then it frees up your saturday after about 30 minutes of waiting.

I don't like the draft chart because I believe that value should reflect the strength of the draft board. I have never said you should completely throw away the draft chart. It's a good benchmark to use, but too many teams use it as an absolute. It should be used as a reference point, not as exact value. This year, the trade board is weak, so the draft value chart should adjust. Using your analogy, the exchange rate changes based on a lot of economic factors. So why is draft trade value the same ever year? Shouldn't trade value go down when, for example, you learn that Raji failed a drug test? Or Malcolm Jenkins bombed the combine? You're right. This is a business and negotiations change based on market conditions. If you don't believe that, ask yourself how much your house is worth versus five years ago. Or ask yourself how much your average laptop costs versus how much it costed five years ago. So as the draft "market" changes every year (and even every day), why does the draft value stay exactly the same? It doesn't make any sense to me.

Here's the situation the Chiefs are in. Nobody valued at #3 is worth taking. That would likely be Stafford, Sanchez, Jason Smith, and/or Eugene Monroe (I think Curry is a huge reach for a team trying to shift to a 3-4). So the Chiefs are in a situation where they are forced to take a guy valued at #3 who they don't want, or reach for a guy that's a middle-round prospect (Maualuga, Everett Brown, Aaron Maybin, Orakpo, Maclin, Andre Smith). The players the Chiefs should like are valued around the middle of the first round. So rather than reach, then why not trade down into those spots and recapture that second round pick you don't have? Who really cares if an extra third rounder or whatever isn't packaged in too? You're picking the guy you want (and not the guy you're forced to take) at the right spot without reaching, paying him the salary he deserves, and getting picks on the side. What's not to like?

Brandon Albert already IS a more-complete LT than Ryan Clady. He may not ever be truly BETTER since that is so subjective.

Ryan Clady is, and will always be, a finesse LT that's a better pass blocker than anything else. It will be interesting to see if McDaniels' offense helps him or hurts him, because Shanny's offense definitely helped him.

Amen! Brother Milk!!! And, just how many years have us Chief fans been waiting for a long term QB??? I go back to the Mike Livingston (sp?) ... it's been a while and to get the long term answer with a 2nd. pick is a real accomplishment. And, as you said, it doesn't matter how the rest of the draft turns out. It's worth giving up your whole draft for a Peyton, Brady, Elway, Farve, Montana!!!! You can build aroung a guy like that.

Yes! Plus, Vrabel will be a playing coach ... which adds further value to the #2 pick.

Is this a "let's pretend session?" First, Pioli will never ask; second, Denver will never trade him ... so, why not just dream about getting a whole new defensive line in with your trade/draft.

But, if Denver is willing to trade, why accept Clady ... I'd much rather have the #12 & the #18. That is the trade I'd like ... and I'm with those of you saying we don't have to have true value in the trade. This would be a successful trade/draft. But, I doubt Denver will give up that much to trade.

Don't misunderstand me here.

I don't believe that Matt Cassel is that guy, and I think it was a mistake to trade for him.

But I do allow for the possibility that I'm wrong.

If Matt Cassel does prove me wrong, then it will have been a good draft.

But remember, Mike Livingston looked like an NFL starter after the '69 season.

How'd that turn out?

This!!
I know this sounds crazy, but if the Chiefs get a strong enough feeling that the Broncos will trade up to take Sanchez, I wonder if they might consider drafting Sanchez and then attempting to trade him. It's not much different from a trade down. That way they hold all the cards.

I'm still not convinced that there's anybody worth a #3 pick for the Chiefs.
