Chiefs The math isn't there for RG3. - Page 5

What the Browns have to work with, should they be desperate enough:

#4 pick
#22 pick
#37 pick
#68 pick
several mid- and low-rounders
a full board of top-ten picks in 2013
LT Joe Thomas (whom they could trade with Jason Smith or Roger Saffold in return)
CB Joe Haden

What the Redskins have to work with, and they will be desperate enough:

#6 pick
#39 pick
#70 pick
several mid- and low-rounders
a full board of top-ten picks in 2013
WR Santana Moss (not worth much...)

What the Chiefs have to work with:

#11 pick
#44 pick
#75 pick
several mid- and low-rounders
a full board of bottom-ten picks in 2013
WR Dwayne Bowe
DT Glenn Dorsey
OT Branden Albert (Saffold or Smith in return?)

So, needless to say folks, I don't see it.

For any pick we give up, the Redskins can (and will) match and do us one better. Want to give up six picks, our 1st through 3rd rounds in 2012 and 2013? So will the Redskins, and their picks will be better.

The only place we can flank the 'Skins would be on veteran talent. I think we'd all be okay with Dorsey, but he's not going to be a dealmaker. Albert would, but he would be a killshot to our offensive line, and the Browns can just outflank us with Joe Thomas if they're hungry enough.

Which means the only chip we have that no other team has is Dwayne Bowe.

So ask yourself: are you willing to part ways with Dwayne Bowe, not to mention any meaningful picks in the next two drafts, for RG3?

I'm not. And Pioli definitely isn't.

The math isn't there.

Bowe's value is minuscule compared to a franchise QB.

It only took three more posts to ignore it.

"The math isn't there for RG3"

Ever since that damn Jeremy Lin, now all of a sudden math skills are important to pro athletes? WTF? Who cares if RG3 is good at math?

Giving up a whole draft for 1 player is stupid and so is anyone remotely suggesting this.

Kill yourself.

Kill yourself.

Going by the majority of Chiefs history, our whole drafts are usually pretty worthless. We're lucky if we get one worthy player per year. Might as well make it a coveted QB.
