Chiefs Rumors on the Chiefs, trading down, and Mark Sanchez... - Page 8

This is sure to stir up a hornets nest - it's really going to piss off the pro-Sanchez crowd. But it's also interesting information so I thought I would share. FWIW, these two rumors are somewhat contradictory, so who knows what's actually true.

The Jets reportedly called EVERY team in the top 5 except Detroit. That means they called us, so the idea that we had no chance to trade out is false if the rumor is to be believed. What it comes down to, apparently, is that we didn't want what was being offered (apparently Pioli doesn't like Kenyon Coleman as much as Mangini or something) and we also were INTENT on taking Tyson Jackson and didn't feel he'd be there at #17.

Another rumor suggests that the Chiefs never recieved any calls, nor did the Rams or Seahawks. Apparently nobody in the NFL believed that any of those 3 teams would take Sanchez, so they weren't playing poker with us. Apparently, the feeling around the league is that Cassel is cemented as the starter and any feelers we put out about Sanchez were insincere. So if this rumor is to be believed, we never had any intention of drafting Sanchez and the entire league knew it. If true, Pioli truly did undermine his ability to trade down the second he acquired Cassel.

I can't remember whether it was ESPN or NFL Network, but one clearly did discuss this possibility.

Then, I didn't hear another thing about it the rest of the weekend. I wonder if the NFL didn't squash those discussions?

problem with that(as was already discussed leading up to the draft) is that whoever we did end up picking would probably still WANT the #3 money

edit: and ed i wasnt pointing the discussed part at you, just stating that others had said this before

and how did belichek win here? what does he have to do with this?

1) How about because I don't ****ing care?

2) How about because we got stuck with a 3rd that was pretty much useless?

But please, go on and tell me how great this draft was, and in what fantastic shape we are.
