Tyson Jackson at #3 because of money?

[htismaqe]

Did the Chiefs take Jackson because he's willing to accept less money than other players at that spot? That's the newest rumor, they're talking about it on 810 right now.

[Chiefnj2]

I doubt it. Belichick built his team with the DL. Parcells had Leonard Marshall.

[keg in kc]

Yeah, I'm sure that was it. Especially with Curry's comments last week about how he'd play for a per diem at Arby's.

[RustShack]

I think they need him because hes a major need for the defense can Curry is just a nice player to have.

[Buck]

If they wanted to pay him less money they should have let a couple teams pick ahead of them.

Realistically who would have been the next team to take him?

[Basileus777]

If that was the motivation they would have just did what Cleveland did and took a shitty deal to move back.

[DaWolf]

This whole angle the sports radio media likes to play about the Hunts being cheap is getting old. If this was about money we would have done anything we could to dump that pick no matter who wanted to hose us with a lowball offer...

[Ebolapox]

If they wanted to pay him less money they should have let a couple teams pick ahead of them.

supposedly the browns at number 5. that's apparently why they were willing to get f'd in the A by the jets.

[DeezNutz]

All the radio guys have been saying that the best move by the Chiefs would have been to select Sanchez and trade him to a desperate Jets club.

That idea sounds like shit, huh...

[Fritz88]

If they wanted to pay him less money they should have let a couple teams pick ahead of them.

Realistically who would have been the next team to take him?

I thought NE wanted to pick him. That's why we picked him earlier.

I really hope this turns to be a good pick. Last year we had the best guy left on the board and the best over all by many experts, yet he still needs to do a lot to prove to us that he's that good.

Ridin' with Hioli and Paley.

[DaWolf]

Then the Jets can seriously sit back and lowball because they know at that point you are stuck with two QB's, no one else is taking Sanchez so there's no rush to do anything, and you have no choice but to trade one. Where does that get you? You either take a bad offer, or you are stuck with another high priced QB and haven't done jack to help the defense...

[htismaqe]

Cleveland at 5.

Exactly.

All signs point to the Jets, and every other team, basically counting on the Chiefs not taking Sanchez and they turned out to be right.

We had no intention of taking Sanchez, which in turn likely means we really had no intention of trading down either, because he was our leverage.

[jAZ]

That's a good point. I think that was even mentiond on NFLN. Talk about teams sitting as the clock expires hoping to slide back by default.

I think that's a high risk move that is probably not worth taking. But its intersting.

We could go round and round, but having an outstanding chance of having an elite-level QB, be it Cassel or Sanchez, isn't being "stuck" in my opinion.

The Jets had a mission to get Sanchez. My guess is that we could have swapped firsts, picked up more in this draft, plus a very high pick next year (1-2). Either way, it would have been a great situation for the Chiefs.

But it didn't happen...

Perhaps, but I am doubtful the Jets would have given that much up, especially seeing what Cleveland got. I think if we had better overall talent on this team, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take both guys and see if Cassel could run the boat, otherwise turn it over to Sanchez. But to me, if the Chiefs had that kind of doubt about Cassel, they would never have traded for him in the first place. As fans we definitely have that doubt in our mind, and Sanchez is the hot commodity, the guy we've always wanted to draft and have be our homegrown hero, so he has that greater appeal than Cassel. But as an organization, they don't think in those terms, and I still think the Jets would have played hardball, and unless you have a second team willing to make that move (IE Washington), the Jets could just wait until after the draft if you don't take their deal and then talk next year's picks. IF Washington was willing to play ball, then you've got a conversation, but they didn't seem to have the right ammo and/or motivation either to make that move...

[Micjones]

Because surely he's going to take less than he's worth...

The rest is just pissing in the wind from the rest of us.

In order for the Chiefs to trade with the Jets, there had to be credible info out there that the Seahawks, or the Chiefs themselves, were ready to draft Sanchez. All reports now are that the Jets knew the Chiefs and Seahawks would never take him.

I'm saying that actually selecting him would have been the affirmation. Now you have a desperate Jets team.

And if they call BS or don't want to pay the piper, fine. We have a great chance of having an elite player at the key position on the field. In the long run, this would be more valuable than a 3-4 DE.

It's a risk, but the reward, either in trade or on the field, would be worth it, IMO.

[htismaqe]

Because surely he's going to take less than he's worth...

I think the speculation is more that he was ready to get a deal done vs. waiting to see how the slotting set up.

But apparently Pioli never even considered it, and the whole league knew it.

It's not a risk/reward situation. It's a russian roulette situation. It either fails miserably or passes with a huge sigh of relief. You just can't make that pick.

[DeezNutz]

Sure, that's what you or I would have done.

But apparently Pioli never even considered it, and the whole league knew it.

In fairness, we don't know what ownership was saying either.

Maybe Pioli wanted to do this but Clark was clear that he wouldn't and didn't want to be on the hook for paying two QB's. And Pioli couldn't guarantee that this wouldn't end up being the case...

[DeezNutz]

It's not a risk/reward situation. It's a russian roulette situation. It either fails miserably or calmly passes as status quo. You just can't make that pick.

It would only fail miserably if you ended up with both QB's on your roster and BOTH end up sucking or being average at best.

But if a GM is this bad at evaluating talent, he's probably not going to be employed very long anyway.

And there's no status quo about getting a bounty in return or having our own elite QB.

[htismaqe]

That I can understand, but I think that's altogether different.

Sure, but these rumors are awfully fluid right now.

This is painful to say, but hopefully it shows how serious I am:

i can see that, some are more worried about being right about a player than how that player actually plays(i dont believe OTWP is one of those though he has repeatedly stated that he will eat crow and i would LOVE to see it on this subject, mainly because I feel as though cassel will be a great QB for us for the next 8-10 years)

No. That grass is not even grass. It is radiation-mutated death grass that brings death to all who come within breathing distance of it.
It is the bubonic plague of grass, and the death of any franchise dumb enough to bring it through the stadium gates.

No. If he shows consistently good play, and can surpass the "game manager" tag, I will be perfectly happy with him.
But he HAS TO BE BETTER THAN Green. He HAS to be better than that. That is not exceptional. I want exceptional.

Step up. BE SOMEBODY, or this is all just a waste of a pick in a year that was prime for the taking in the QB market.
Good enough is NOT good enough.

That would have been the best move. Both the Jets and the Bucs knew the Chiefs weren't going that way, so there was no reason to call and deal. If the Chiefs take Sanchez then many draft boards are screwed, and teams will start calling for rights for Sanchez or Cassel. That would give the Chiefs the upper hand. Remember everything the Chargers received by drafting a guy they couldn't sign. Even go back to the Colts-Elway selection. Grab the commodity and then deal.

I don't buy any of these conspiricy theorys any more. Having had some time to process all the information at hand, I think Pioli is building the way he knows how to build, and he wanted these pieces as his foundation, simple really.

[wild1]

I don't think there is anyone the Chiefs wanted more in the top 10 than him, they were targeting him from the start, and if they save money it's just a benefit.

If they were just out to save money, they could have taken a trade offer, below market may it have been, and saved money in addition to getting more picks. Say they take exactly what Cleveland got, and the Jets move into #3 instead. That would save a lot of money.

So why didn't they? Because they were afraid their guy would be gone. It seems pretty simple to me.
