Would you rather be 8-0 with Alex Smith or 3-5 with Geno?

Did they find someone to trade down with?

Facts:
1) the Chiefs were talking with Miami for the days leading up to the draft and through the first day about Branden Albert. There was an open communication channel for this to occur.

2) Miami traded up to the 3rd pick from 12 by using their second rounder to move up.

The contract difference between 1 and 3 is basically nothing, so one would have to assume Miami would have been just as happy to move to one for identical compensation, right?

Considering what Andy has been able to do with McCluster, imagine if we'd drafted Tavon Austin.

YOU might assume, but I don't. There is not enough information there to form an opinion.

People say "They should've traded down", but you have to have a partner to trade with and I've seen nothing saying we did. Maybe we did, maybe we didn't, anything else is speculation, as Sorter would say.
