Would you trade LJ to the Texans/Raiders/Lions for a 1st and 3rd rounder?

**BigRedChief** · 12-29-2006, 09:53 AM

King Carl would never make that trade but for the sake of a good conversation lets say its possible.............

We are old. We need fresh legs. We have at least 5-6 spots to fill to make us a contender. Do we step back before we go foward? Do we just do the best with what we got and try to add in as best as we can?

The root point (as I see it) is do you believe we can compete for a division title and or a legitamate Super Bowl run in the next two years?

If you think we are not going to be ready in two years you make the trade.

If you think we are going to be ready in two years don't make the trade.

I am sick of doing this.

This has been the plan since Carl has been here...and it has kept us mediocre.

**ptlyon** · 12-29-2006, 09:57 AM

What's the diff? We are going to suck the next 5 years anyway.

Thats the stimulus for the thread. Are you sick of being mediocre? So sick that you trade your stud RB for draft picks and a chance at greatness in the future? But its still just a chance. No gaurantees especially with King Carl making those picks.

Would you rather them suck or be mediocre?

Reerun_KC · 12-29-2006, 09:58 AM

2 1st, 3rd and a 5th and I would make that deal in a heart beat....

To many good backs out there producing or that can produce in the future...

Also would trade Huard and Green if possible and pick up a QB for Croyle to compete agianst. I would cut all dead weight and work the draft and free agent market this year...

Take our lumps next year and with the extra picks load up and make serious run into 08....

But we will add some more dead wieght like Carl does each year and suffer through yet another 9-7 season or worse.

DMAC · 12-29-2006, 09:59 AM

If we could somehow end up with Michael Turner, then I would be fine with it.

crazycoffey · 12-29-2006, 09:59 AM

Let's ask Jerry Jones what he would do?

Oh wait, we already know, Hershel Walker traded

What happened after that trade, anyone anyone

Hoover · 12-29-2006, 10:00 AM

The draft is a gamble. In LJ we have one of the top 3 running backs in the league, and you guys want to trade him? Look, Ryan Sims was a sure thing at DT, its all a gamble.

Doesn't matter, it ain't up to me. It's up to age. We need 1 of everything in the cupboard, except the kickers and RB.

Frankie · 12-29-2006, 10:00 AM

Didn't you pose this question on the other Chiefs forum? Except on that thread Houston would pay us this year's 1 & 3, and next year's 2. I would make that trade in a heartbeat. And I would draft nothing but O-linemen and at least one DT in the first day. I think if we shored up the O-line quickly Priest (rumored to want to return), Bennet, Ross and Cruz can provide good running for at least another year. Plus whoever the unpolished gem of the year is that we should not discard at the end of the TC.

**Fire Me Boy!** · 12-29-2006, 10:00 AM

I would think about it for Texans/Lions if it included next year's 1st, too. Not the Raiders. The law of averages says sooner than later the Raiders will pull their head out of their collective ass, and I don't want to face LJ twice a year.

But that's just a "think about it" not an "I'd pull the trigger".

You can not trade Huard he is not under contract for next year.
