Chiefs Almost Traded Back with Raiders
 

Idk if a repost, but from Peter King's FMIA

8:30 p.m.: Two picks left, including Kansas City at 31. Mayer on the mind in the draft room. “If KC comes back to us,” Ziegler said, “wanna do it?”

“Yes,” said McDaniels.

“Best tight end in the draft,” Kelly said.

Short conversation with KC. “Not gonna work,” Ziegler said. KC would have given 31 and 217 (sixth round) for 38 and 70, a net on the points chart of minus-147. “Too many players we like,” Ziegler said. (Ziegler, on Friday, traded from 38 to 35 with the Colts to snag Mayer, the tight end Vegas wanted above all.)

Yea they would've traded back if the Raiders allowed us to rape them.

But they didn't

There's just no way that was going to happen anyway.

It was reported, and I think most of us believe, that Hunt anchored the 2023 1st round pick so that Veach couldn't spend it in 2022 when he wanted Jameson Williams because the draft was going to be in KC.

There's no way Hunt would let the Chiefs escape the 1st round without a selection unless the deal was too good to be true.

31/217 for 38/70 would be so clownishly lopsided, it would have been a slam dunk decision by the Chiefs I think. They'd probably still move up from 38 to get FAU if need be, and now they'd have an extra 3rd to play with.

But the Raiders were not going to agree to that under any circumstances, I don't think.

No matter how much you keep repeating this, it's still not true.

Dude...it was dumb in the draft forum and it's still dumb out here. Clark Hunt wasn't going to do any of that shit.

Is there any truth to that statement or speculation? It seems like speculation with no basis in reality.

It's literally based on a ****ing obvious joke.

That makes sense. I just wasn't sure how that gained steam as I saw nothing regarding it at all anywhere.

As a Chiefs fan at the draft on Thursday night, I would have been pumped if the Chiefs had pulled off that trade.

That’s a trade I make 100 times out of 100.

As far as the hunt first round stuff, Veach made it clear that was strictly for last year and he can do whatever he wants this year.

Hell, the guy they took wasn’t even in town to walk the stage.

Huh?

There is no way that Clark is telling Veach and Reid what to do with a draft pick or anything at all really.

I honestly can't believe how many people actually took that joke/theory seriously.

I also saw Chiefs fans on Twitter wondering if the Chiefs took Rice becuase he's a SMU guy for Clark.
