We should be happy to get "the floor" if we want to trade down. There's not a superstar at the top of the draft that we wouldn't want only because we are loaded at his position. Somebody we don't want would have to be a shooting star out of the combine for us to get fair value out of a trade down.
That's why I wish Jadeveon Clowny was in this draft. Next year's top pick holder will be very lucky. They will either need him badly or will have another team in love with him who will trade for him an arm and a leg. As gods of football always plan for us, we are just sandwiched between two years like that with good talent at the top in quantity but not necessarily quality. Last year, with our 11th pick we would have most likely picked the guy we will be picking at the top this year. It feels like shit. |

If we get our guy, why does it matter if you had to spend the #1 for him or the #11 for him? |

I was just making a comparison between the quality of this draft vs. last year's. I was lamenting the fact that, as we have come to expect, the Chiefs just HAD to have the top pick when a half a dozen prospects rate about the same in quality, depriving us from the opportunity to land a bona fide star or a chance to make a killing in a trade down.

I hope so. I don't want us ever again to be so bad as to having the top pick. But now that we do, I want someone who'll be as future Haller. I just see a lot of solid players there but none that answers that description. So far anyway.

You do realize that that happens about 1 every 20 years?
