This sort of deal makes a ton of sense from the Chiefs perspective as the team probably values having two #1 picks next season (lets say its ours at #13 and the Rams at #27) than getting their pick this year.
Gives the Chiefs four second and third round picks to add a ton of depth which this team really needs. Then in 2019 you can got out an traft a couple studs to build out the defense.
1. The timeline works better
2. Helps the Chiefs manage the cap longer - more players on rookie deals. Allows us to keep our young talent in place.

Agree with the fact this is what the trade looks like.
Disagree with your automatically going to get a stud in the end of the first round or even the middle of the first round (let alone 2). Not sure about the timeline, we need to get better on the defensive end to compete and I was hoping for us to compete in 2018.
But it is more and more looking like the Chiefs front office was given a mandate to trade Peters before players enter the building and the above could be the best your getting when under such a mandate. Think one of the columns about Belichek indicated he was no longer willing to coach head cases, think Andy has entered that phase.
