Chiefs How much is Berry worth to YOU? - Page 2

Christofire · 04-22-2010, 09:08 AM

Purely speculation, but really curious:

Let's say the Bucs are on the clock, and rumors are flying that the Redskins will take Berry OR that Cleveland plans to trade up and take him. If you were GM would spend the extra picks needed to trade up to #3 to ensure we get Berry? Or shake your head and take the next best player?

If the four above aren't available, I'd rock with Whitlock and prefer a Dez Bryant type over an o-lineman.

I wouldn't trade up for him, no. He's not the only stud in the draft, and not the only player who could make a tremendous impact on this team.

I think in the end, we're going to end up with somebody really good, whether it's Berry or somebody else.

Unless we draft a ****ing o-tackle, in which case I'm going to commit homicide on my tv set.

I wouldn't trade up. At that point if Berry were gone and I couldn' get anyone to trade up to our spot, take the BPA on the board. It's not like we don't have a lot of holes to plug.

You better load your Gun. It will be O-Line. I would never pay Berry number 5 money.

No....because we'd still have a shot at Clausen.

patteeu · 04-22-2010, 09:26 AM

No, and hopefully Cleveland won't do it either.

**Rausch** · 04-22-2010, 09:26 AM

No ****ing way I'd trade up.

Not for anyone...

FYP.

By the way, if this happens, do you think anyone (Buffalo) would be willing to trade to get in front of Seattle and Washington to get the top tackle? Then the Chiefs could take Thomas, Graham or McClain at a more reasonable spot.

Arc, I think that's wishful thinking but I believe the Bills are the cheapest team in the NFL. I could see them trying to move down. Not that I wouldn't like this to happen, just don't think it will.

What scares me about Shanahan is that he IS smart enough to take the BPA regardless of need.

"Really good" isn't good enough when you're picking 5th, IMO.

He's also smart enough to know that he can't work with the line in it's current form. They have limited picks to fix a unit that's the worst in the NFL.

CaliforniaChief · 04-22-2010, 09:33 AM

I would not trade up for Berry...unless they'd do it for 2 5ths, which they wouldn't.

Just let the chips fall where they may at the top and pick Berry if he's there.

If he's not, we're in OTWP's nightmare scenario.

I think that depends on your definition of "really good".

Either way, I wasn't using the phrase as some kind of tangible player rating. You can substitute any term for "great" that you like. Awesome. Pants-shattering. Perennial pro-bowl. Stud. Star. Superstar. Aaron Curry Christ. Mike Peterson.

All I was saying is that (unlike last year) this is a draft that's pretty rich at the top, and I don't think it's "Berry or Bust!" to the point that it has to be him or nobody. So I wouldn't trade up.

Entertain trade offers for Clausen. If you can't get a deal done in 10 minutes, draft Clausen and hold him for ransom. If somebody is willing to pay the price, you trade him and if not, you have your starting QB for the next 10+ years.

Either way we are in charge of what happens at that point.

Isn't the hot rumor of the morning that Washington will trade up for Bradford or Suh, using Haynesworth as leverage?
