Yeah drafting a LB at #3 to be a backup and/or a major project, great thinking!

The lengths that people are going to prove Curry isn't any good is out of control.

Hey Kettle; it's quite the familiar theme around these parts, ain't it?

Cassel for a 2nd was a good trade IMO but it did take away the chance for the Chiefs to draft that franchise QB. That doesn't mean Cassel can't be a franchise QB for the Chiefs. Will he? I don't know but the people who are running the Chiefs now will probably do a good job of setting him up to succeed.

Judging from these signings, you may be right. The Pioli Chiefs apparently have major wood for the Geritol set.

In 10 years Cassel will be 36... most QB's are still playing then.

Franchise QBs often play well into their 30s. If plays till he's 34 he'll have played 8 years for the Chiefs. And he does have low miles so I can easily see that happen.

He's old, but at least he knows how to read keys and fill holes against the run. I've never been a big Zach Thomas fan, but he'll look 10 times better than Pat Thomas.

I honestly can see it happening...

I've never personally thought this team was taking Curry at 3 regardless it just doesn't make any sense.

What's your gut tell you?

Is there any shot to trade down, period?

Take a redshirt senior in the draft who then takes two years to devolop and you'd have a QB Cassel's age.

Not saying he's a lock for our QBOTF but he's got age on his side, not age working against him.

He also hasn't taken a ton of punishment thus far in his career.
