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. |

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.

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.

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? |

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. |

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. |

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?

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