OK, here it is. #3 pick overall goes to Curry. Trade our second rounder to Pats for Cassel. Instant starter, instant improvement on Offense and Defense.
The more I think about it, I am starting to like it.
I am sure to get killed by some of you but think about it...We would be so much better than last year, I think we could seriously compete for the division is one offseason.

Yeah, let's draft a non impact position player at #3 overall, and trade for a system specific QB with marginal arm strength.

Great plan.

Anybody catch Rod Woodson's comments on Total Access last night.

Something along these lines:

"I wouldn't trade for Cassel. Trading for QBs just hasn't worked out, especially the ones who have a monster year and then get traded somewhere else. Draft and develop your own guy, plus he's still yound and will have many prime years left by the time you build the rest of the team"

He was talking about the Lions, but applies to us as well.

Carl is gone. We're not trading picks to win next season, we're building for the long-term.

Curry is considered the best player in the draft. Cassel is better than any QB we could take in the second round and some think he is better than ANY QB in the draft.
The Chiefs could end up with the top two players at their positions, that are available this offseason.

He's a linebacker, Aaron Curry's impact on a game is minimal at best. Do you really think the Titans are going to be lead to a bowl by Keith Bulluck?

If Aaron Curry is the greatest cover backer of all time, I still wouldn't trade him for a top 5-8 NFL QB.

2 of the 3 you just listed were pass rushers which Curry is not...also let me show you something real fast Derrick Thomas was drafted 3rd that is high..James Harrison wasn't even drafted and Ray Lewis was an end of the 1st round pick, the Ravens themselves took Jonathan Ogden in front of him.

I think there is a difference when the GM or coach switch teams and then bring in their "old" QB. Bringing in Trent worked for KC. Parcells has always tried to bring his old QB's with him (Testaverde, Pennington).

Originally I was open to trading for Cassell as long as it wasn't crazy-high/multiple picks, but really the more I think about it the more I don't like it.

Pioli highly values draft picks.
We're not "just a QB" away.

The point is, a LB unless a 3-4 pass rusher is a complimentary player you do not build your team around complimentary players.

That's why this team hasn't won shit all its best players have been complimentary players, TE, RG etc.

I would compare it to those who said Brandon Albert cant play Left Tackle. He can play that position, he just wasnt asked to.
Most Guards cant play Tackle but Tackles can play guard.

Having the natural athletic talent to play OT is not like having pass rush moves...rushing the passer is not just about talent it requires skills and moves that are learned and natural instinct to use them.

If rushing the passer was as easy as showing someone how to do it, teams wouldn't cream themselves to get a top pass rusher.

Gdaddy
02-25-2009, 10:17 AM
I agree with you on Cassel, and believe it will happen.
I like Crabtree at 3, but I dont mind Curry at all.
If not those two take Eugen Monroe from Virginia.

Mecca

This needs to be repeated, a lot, around here.

Why aren't the same people arguing that Curry can become a dominant rush backer demanding that the Chiefs select Orakpo? Dude looks like he's made from granite, and we have to "fill Allen's spot," right?

Cause elite pass rushing is easy. He just needs more coaching.

I am not currently for or against drafting a QB at #3, but those that say it is the only way to go, deserving no discussion, and come close to a meltdown when questions are asked about said QBs are hysterical. If Pioli and Haley grade Sanchez as the BPA at #3 then you take him. If not, then you don't. Really, it is pretty simple.

It is easy, why else would the nfl make it easier for the O to protect the QB every friggin year. thats why D-Cos have gone to alot of soft cover 2 and zone blitzing. Defence is almost as choreographed as the offense these days. players who have less athletic ability and more football knowledge do better. LB is no exception.

Blocking those pass rushers is also a natural talent. If all Guards could become Tackles, teams would have the same reaction.

Bullock, for all of his talent, is not a difference maker.

He a nice piece of a puzzle that had a differnce maker on the D-Line.

Teams can compete for a SB without a top tier QB, but they can not compete year in and year out without a top tier QB.

Yes, and they were ****ing stupid.

Teams make stupid decisions all the time and try to turn players into something they're not because "they're such great athletes."

This has no bearing on a Stafford/Sanchez discussion, though. Comparing either to Young is worse than bringing Leaf into the argument.

This is where the argument goes to shit "well they drafted a QB" so fucking what, no one who wants the Chiefs to take a QB wants them to take one just to take one.

I'd never in a million years draft Vince Young, Kyle Boller, Joe Flacco or any fucker from a spread offense for that matter.

It's called making an educated risk not just picking one to fucking pick one.

I'd never in a million years draft Vince Young, Kyle Boller, Joe Flacco or any ****er from a spread offense for that matter.

It's called making an educated risk not just picking one to ****ing pick one.

But wait, the gang of 14 is QB at all costs!

Educated risk, educated guess if you want to be more negative. This is the draft.

You want to draft Mr. 6 Wonderlic, you get what you deserve.

The beauty of the whole situation is that I finally trust the guy making this decision. If he thinks Sanchez or Stafford is the right guy, I am good with it. If he thinks Cassel is worth trading for, Im good with it.

I simply liked the idea of getting Curry and Cassel and how much it would instantly improve our team on both sides of the ball. We can then take a good pass rusher in the third round also.

What it all boils down to is the probability that stafford or sanchez will be elite level NFL QB's.

There is ample reason to believe that either may be a total bust. QB is the biggest crapshoot in all of NFL drafting.

That is why many people on this board would prefer to take curry, the probability that he will be a pro-bowler is much higher than either of the QB's

However IF we pick the QB, and the QB turns into a pro-bowler, then you are contending for titles year after year.

Basically you have to bet big to win big!
Curry is a safe bet- the odds-on favorite with a relatively low payout

Sanchez is the Trifecta - - Big payday if we hit, but higher probability of loosing it all

The chiefs can only make one selection at number 3, so we will see just what kind of gamblers this new regime is very soon. if it is up to Haley I would say we are going for the trifecta, but pioli is probably a little more prudent. we shall see.;)

No I wouldn't of, he was considered a 3rd round pick until he worked out, QB's that rise in workouts are red flag getters in my view, that position is more about what you did playing than if you can throw it 50 yards from your knee threw a goal post.

This does not sound like a reach to me:

Mark Sanchez, USC

Personality personified, Mark Sanchez worked the media room with his contagious charisma and showed his competiveness by performing in every drill the Combine had to offer. Sanchez displayed his athleticism and ran a respectable 4.87 in the 40. He was the smoothest quarterback in his drop back. He set up quickly and high, displayed good mechanics, delivered the ball with touch, and hit receivers in stride on intermediate routes and deep patterns. With Sanchez stepping up and working out at the Combine, Georgia’s Matthew Stafford, who elected not to throw in Indianapolis, will have a lot of pressure to perform well at his Pro Day.

Change In Rank: Sanchez is still the top rated QB in Scout.com’s NFL Draft Rankings.

My 2 cents: There is only 1 QB we should consider in the first round and sorry Mecca it's not Sanchez. I cannot believe you are saying Cassel (whom I am no fan of but atleast he was competing against NFL defences) was a 1 year wounder and you are trying to sell a 1 year college QB. Dude only a desperate team will take Sanchez in the first round, period.

If Stafford (whos talent level should be drafted between 10-15) is gone at #3, a team that has won very few games in 2years drafts the best player available and that player will probably be Curry.

Yup, that's worth the #12 overall pick and the fact that we were probably going to take Brees there.

I don't know about taking Brees with the #12...was that really being talked about?

Either way...I don't think the #12 for Trent was a failure...it was a decent use of the pick...it really wasn't the #12 picks fault that the Chiefs couldn't play defense...Trent knew Vermeil's system and lead the most prolific offense in the NFL for a 3 year stretch...

I'd trade the #12 pick for that every time...I mean, yes I'd take Brees in a heartbeat...but we could have 5 years of Trent at #12 or 5 years of Derrick Johnson at #15...who are you taking?

yes, but he COULD refuse to renegotiate and he rides the pine in NE a very well paid backup, right?

If NE makes the trade worthy, and cassel is willing to restructure, then it speaks volumes to pioli's pull in NE and cassel's character. I would respect all involved if that happens. I don't see it, but I can be wrong. Cassel, to me, has more upside than stafford or sanchez because he has taken an NFL snap. Albeit on a very strong team....

Anybody catch Rod Woodson's comments on Total Access last night.

Something along these lines:

"I wouldn't trade for Cassel. Trading for QBs just hasn't worked out, especially the ones who have a monster year and then get traded somewhere else. Draft and develop your own guy, plus he's still yound and will have many prime years left by the time you build the rest of the team"

He was talking about the Lions, but applies to us as well.

Carl is gone. We're not trading picks to win next season, we're building for the long-term.

I watched Total Acess last night and saw that as well. I would have to agree with him 100%.

It's a stupid argument. How did drafting Joey Harrington work out for them? How about Andre Ware?

The question was do you believe that Keith Bullock will lead the Titans to the SB?

You responded by saying he almost did, if Chris Johnson hadn't gotten hurt.

The implication is that Chris Johnson could have gotten Bullock to the SB.

We all understand that sometimes outstanding defensive teams can get to a SB without a top tier QB, but even these Titans wern't led by Bullock.

That defense with Bullock, but without Haynesworth, struggled.

Bullock, for all of his talent, is not a difference maker.

He a nice piece of a puzzle that had a differnce maker on the D-Line.

Teams can compete for a SB without a top tier QB, but they can not compete year in and year out without a top tier QB.

I want to be an annual SB competitor.

We've already done the pretender thing.

I know that there are a few people against Sancez because they believe we can get to the Super Bowl with a 'game manager' at QB.

But, I really think that 'most' of the guys in here that don't want Sanchez don't believe in Sanchez.

Now, if you don't believe in a guy, you don't advocate taking him just because he plays the most important position.

Matt Stafford has the physical skillset to be the best quarterback in the NFL in 3-4 years.

Mark Sanchez has physical skillset to be a perennial pro bowler at QB.

If Pioli traded for him, he would negotiate a new 4 or 5 year contract.

Cassel won't get 14 mil.

Maybe not as a one year salary, but he will get it some way most likely built into the signing bonus. After being tagged he will not come cheap.

To me he looks more like Steve Bono than Tom Brady.

OK, here it is. #3 pick overall goes to Curry. Trade our second rounder to Pats for Cassel. Instant starter, instant improvement on Offense and Defense.
The more I think about it, I am starting to like it.
I am sure to get killed by some of you but think about it...We would be so much better than last year, I think we could seriously compete for the division is one offseason.

It depends on how you define success and what your parameters are for the word "trade". Favre (trade 1) was clearly successful. Manning and Rivers were traded post-draft. Bledsoe took Buffalo from 3-13 to 8-8 even with lousy drafting and coaching surrounding him. Was Montana successful? Kurt Warner was traded and didn't pan out in New York, but has panned out in Arizona. Matt Schaub has been pretty good when healthy. Brad Johnson won a Super Bowl with the Bucs. Matt Hasselbeck took the Seahawks to the Super Bowl.

Woodson's argument was terrible, probably because he didn't take the time to actually think it out.

No, because I don't view these things in a vacuum. I'd make the necessary moves to get the player I was most confident about. If that means trading for Matt Cassel or Joe the plumber, I'd do that. If it means drafting Stafford, Sanchez or the ghost of George Washington, I'd do that. If it means signing Chris Simms or Phil Simms as a free agent, I'd do that.

I'm not going to look through each playoff game for the last 15 years, but I can tell you that in the last 15 years, only 7 of the Super Bowl winning QBs were first round picks who were still playing for their original teams. So, less than half.

And of the Super Bowl losers for those 15 years, 4 QBs were first round picks playing for their original team.

And as far as where I would place my bet, I would say that there is as good of a chance that we could win a Super Bowl with Cassel, QB drafted out of the first round, etc than one of the 2 QBs at the top of this draft. I would say it's a coin flip at best. Let's not ignore the overwhelming odds against a 16 start QB even being average in the NFL, although many would like to.

These trades weren't made for high compensation, as the original argument alluded to.

Woodson's argument is instead of trading a high-draft pick for a QB (which hasn't historically worked out) you should draft and groom a potential franchise QB.

Regardless, maybe we could win a SB with Cassel, but I would prefer to draft a guy with potential, groom him for the long-term in our system while we build around him. The window is shorter with Cassel, and there are as many questions with him as there are with the 2 kids in the draft (was it the system? why did he never start? is he 1-year wonder? product of system? etc)

Look, anyone that says getting Cassel is just like Carl obviously is wrong and has an agenda. Carl spent a huge price to go get Trent Green. . . way more than I would guess we will spend on Cassel. Most could even argue that Cassel has more game experience than Green did.

Bono was 32 when he became a Chief.
Montana was 36.
Green was 32.
Grbac was 27, so he is more comparable to Cassel than anyone (terrifying I know).

Cassel is 26. He is a young guy and could play QB for the team for ten years. . . unlike every other QB we picked up with the exception of grbac.

Well it all comes down to if the GM really thinks one of the QBs in this draft is worthy of that selection. If the Chiefs or Lions make any sort of a trade for a guy like Cassel, then I think that answers your question because if they did believe one of those guys are legit top QBs, then of course you don'e make the trade. You take the young, franchise QB. But if they make that move, its pretty obvious how they evaluated Sanchez and Stafford.

Eh, not really. I basically just default on Cassel to Pioli. He obviously knows Cassel probably better than anyone in the NFL other than Belichick. If he feels like he is a better prospect than Sanchez, who will probably be the only choice, then I'm good with that. They could decide that Thigpen can be the answer too. I know that sounds crazy, but so did Kurt Warner and Tom Brady, so who knows. By the way, I am not comparing Thigpen to those guys, just saying that crazy things have happened before. If they draft Sanchez or Stafford, then I am on board with that 100%, but if they don't feel that one of those guys is worth the pick and they want to make some kind of trade for Cassel, I am alright with that too. As long as it isn't the #3 straight up. If they want to give Thigpen another year and build around him, I'm alright with that too. If I was 100% sold on Sanchez, then it would be a different story, but history is pretty overwhelming against him succeeding. This may be the most important pick in the history of the Chiefs, and we can't miss on it.

They made a bad choice, but that doesn't negate the fact that teams that have the best QBs have the best chance to compete consistently, and the best chance to find those QBs is early in the draft.I keep seeing this being repeated.

I do apologize. By all means; PLEASE continue your ball wash regarding the most uninspiring, mouth-breather of a Chiefs QB since Steve Bono!

I keep seeing this being repeated. I don't think anyone disagrees with the philosophy. I think some disagree that there is a QB worth drafting early in this draft.

That's an entirely different argument. which has already been argued in circles.

Matt Stafford has the physical skillset to be the best quarterback in the NFL in 3-4 years.

Mark Sanchez has physical skillset to be a perennial pro bowler at QB.

So, yeah.Seriously, why aren't you on an nfl payroll?

Curry can be an impact player at MLB. Ray Lewis. Jack Lambert, Dick Butkis, Urlacker ,Al Wilson and so on and so forth. DT was a LB. The list of LB's that can lead a defense and take a team to the next level is endless.

I will not accept that we should not Curry because he's an LB. That arguement is nuts. I bet the Steelers don't think taking Troy P in the first was nuts. Look at the way he impacts a game from the safety position.

And no, I am not one of those people who say these guys make too much money. They do, I just don't say it. Definately not interested in Cassell. Gut feeling. And not the one I get when I'm tryin to poop and it hurts so I stop, then my guts slam it on through the logjam anyway.

Look, anyone that says getting Cassel is just like Carl obviously is wrong and has an agenda. Carl spent a huge price to go get Trent Green. . . way more than I would guess we will spend on Cassel. Most could even argue that Cassel has more game experience than Green did.

Bono was 32 when he became a Chief.
Montana was 36.
Green was 32.
Grbac was 27, so he is more comparable to Cassel than anyone (terrifying I know).

Cassel is 26. He is a young guy and could play QB for the team for ten years. . . unlike every other QB we picked up with the exception of grbac.

OK, here it is. #3 pick overall goes to Curry. Trade our second rounder to Pats for Cassel. Instant starter, instant improvement on Offense and Defense.
The more I think about it, I am starting to like it.
I am sure to get killed by some of you but think about it...We would be so much better than last year, I think we could seriously compete for the division is one offseason.

Please please let this happen, McDaniels knows all of his weaknesses!:evil:

Trading a second round pick for Cassel wouldn't be as bad as drafting a QB and it takes your team 4 years to figure out that he is a bust. At least you would get a sure thing at LB.

Listen up you Donko sonofabitch, and you listen good!

The ONLY reason you're taking the field with McDaniels in 2009, is because that goddamned, white bread, fur-wearing Honky-Pimp owner of yours hit the panic-button when it became painfully clear that Scott Pioli was a real and snaggable candidate for Kansas City!

Oh yes! All that loyalty and support for ol' Rat Face McCheese-Eater went flyin' right out the motherfuckin' air-lock, so scared and impatient the overseer of your house was and is!
And he tried! Oh yes, he tried to lure Pioli to Denver. And do you know what Pioli said? He said, "Go outside, make a Rocky Mountain Snowball, and shove it right up your ass"!

Who the FUCK in their right mind would want to take over the Dungver Donkos with their head case, douchebag Quarterback?! Not Scott Pioli!

And seeing how Scott is the very best at what he does, he sent your owner a nice little Trojan Horse Appeasement Package in the form of McDaniels. Did I mention we know your shit now? Quite so.

You, the Chuckers, and the Jokeland Fakers each had a nice little run. That run is now over.

We'll begin to see the new era in Chiefs history, and begin to find out how this new regime will approach FA.

Until that begins, it's all speculation and hope.

McDaniels and Pioli only got their jobs because Belicheat cheated to win SB's. Both are very overrated.

I hated that we signed McDaniels, but he did run the highest scoring offense in NFL history without cheating. He also turned a career backup QB into a serviceable starter.

The Steelers have used I believe counting who's currently on the roster 4 1st rounders on offense and 3 on defense.

And oddly their 3 highest drafted players are 2 WR's and a QB.

Someone with intelligence understands that both have an impact on the game.

To think Bowlen would have chosen TD or Elway over a new stadium is silly.

If it didn't effect the outcome of being competetive there would be no rules against it. They weren't just fined once, but twice. They just kept going back to the well, cheating the cap, and it kept paying off.

You really shouldn't be pointing fingers. The Broncos are known cheaters by every fan base in the NFL except the Bronco fans. You have no right to point a righteous finger at anyone.

Both teams will go down in history as cheaters. It's what happens when you cheat.
