Chiefs Chiefs Are "Begging" To Get Out Of 1st Pick - Page 5

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."

That's not what Alex Smith said. You could choose to think he was lying if you want, don't know why he would.

Why would no one want the best QB available?

oh, you mean why would Alex Smith say, during a press conference introducing him to his new city, that he CHOSE said city?

I don't have any idea. it makes no sense to me, you'd think he'd want to take a shit all over new city before playing a snap.

LMFAO.

"I'M FULLY ONBOARD"

I have read Oakland is interested in bailing out of the 3rd pick. They report there is little interest in a very weak top side of this draft~

I see your

and raise you a

What are you talking about? How is it taking a dump on your new city to say several teams were pursuing him?

ct · 04-15-2013, 03:31 PM

Sirius/XM NFL just now talking about KC taking Geno #1, how Alex Smith would be like WTF?

But more realistic saying Andy Reid will take a prospect, mentioning Dysert.
Alex Smith needs confidence, blah blah, if you take high QB his confidence will be shot, blah blah blah
Need to keep up the idea we might just to keep #2 and #3 on their toes
Again they say they'll be very shocked if it's not LT Joeckel

Also that guys in Jax DID NOT draft Gabbert, so no shock if they take Geno, but guys in KC DID TRADE for Alex Smith, so not likely they ALSO draft Geno.

commercial break...

I think it was all about playing for Reid.

In58men · 04-15-2013, 03:35 PM

We'll be the only team in history with the 1st pick to have a horrible draft. No 2nd rounder and some depth with the 3rd pick lol. We suck

And the quilting circle. San Francisco apparently sucks for that kind of thing if you don't want to quilt with a bunch of dirty mangy hippies who do shit like shower with baking soda instead of soap.

It's never happened before. Chiefs making sucky history./ Raiders 2007 draft

mcaj22 · 04-15-2013, 03:42 PM

you would think they would be able to package the #1 overall pick and Albert to a team like the Dolphins, Chargers, Cardinals etc

get a future first, swap this years 1 and pick up a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or a player something

take below market value but make it a package, we will drop down in the draft we can then use that stupid BPA philosophy in that range for round 1, grab a starter in the 2nd round, grab two more starters in the 3rd and we have a haul of players that SHOULD be plug and play for 2013 at our holes.

I say should be plug and play because I thought Scott ***** was drafting plug and play players for four years too in rounds 1-3 and instead he was drafting raw developmental projects.

Both options are better than negotiating from a shit position.

I have said this all along.

It's not win/win, but it is a long ways away from being lose/lose.
