Chiefs Chiefs Are "Begging" To Get Out Of 1st Pick - Page 8

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."

Dorsey seems to think everybody in the NFL loves each other, and that if the best deal offered really is the best deal offered for something, then that's probably the best that can be done.

Case in point: the Alex Smith trade. There is absolutely ZERO good reason why we paid more than our single 3.1 pick for that turd.

no no no...teams we're CLAMORING for him!

I kept repeating it because you and some other posters get your ****ing panties in a bunch if anyone says something bad about Geno. Which is the real reason for your smartass post~

Bullshit. ***** was a transparent POS. He had no creativity whatsoever. Just because he was vague, doesnt mean he was savvy. Funny that you think Reid/Dorsey should enforce the "patriot way"

Okay, so is THIS post just IYO? Because it makes it really hard to distinguish what your opinion is if you never say "IMO"

Just IMO.

They have to draft Geno or trade down. Drafting a LT at #1 overall would be a disaster if you ask me. Reminds me of the Dolphins drafting Jake Long in 2007, they sure regret that.

I honestly fear Dorsey/Reid are too high on Alex Smith, the same way that Pioli was too high on Cassell.

Great, Lemon Pie is back said no one...ever.

That's the worry. A 2 win team that had Top 10 tackle play on both sides, gutting both spots just to make room to take a guy at 1-1 would be historically stupid.
