Chiefs Are "Begging" To Get Out Of 1st Pick
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." http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/4/1...ing-trade-down Last edited by houstonwhodat; 04-16-2013 at 05:02 AM.. |

Reggie in Oakland comes from the same tree as Dorsey/Reid so if one is begging to trade down I am not surprised the other is since they are using the same philosophies/evaluation pretty much

making a lateral move for drafting a LT while having a disgruntled veteran LT on a franchise tag is also not a great way to build your team than the way I mentioned.

I have caught some grief over my take on him. I am far from an expert but many agree with me on the fact he is not worthy of a top 5,10 or maybe a top 20 pick~

What does that say about any QB that drops?
Nothing. He could be Aaron Rodgers or Brady Quinn. The team with the testicles to draft him is going to be making a very smart pick either way. Rolling the dice on a QB is NEVER a bad idea. |

Not with the top overall pick IMO I think it is a huge gamble at the 3 slot. This guy is simply not special IMO If he slides to the 10 slot or lower maybe a team rolls the dice. Anything above that is nothing more than a reach once again IMO~

Is that really your opinion? I'm unsure if what you're saying is in your opinion. Please make that a little more clear for your readers.

Warren Moon didn't even get drafted in his day. Yeah there was racist reasoning but still he proved himself. Don't know what you get untill they play just make the best guess and have faith in the pick.

ah, I misinterpreted you. Mea culpa. I thought you were referring to the fact that he went to greater than necessary lengths to praise kansas city and to say that he chose KC over several other NFL cities. what he said, to me, feels exactly what every new player says when they come to a city REGARDLESS of whether they chose said city or not. felt like a canned response to me, though I've been accused of cynicism from time to time.
