This situation almost reminds me of the 2017 Draft. We were all saying that it made too much sense for the Chiefs to trade up. They had the ammo, the need, the player available to change everything (IMO)...
If you give up a 2nd round pick and extend him, so what? I mean, we gave Marcus Peters away and got an extra 2nd back. Shouldn’t we make the most out of that pick? It’s not like you’re mortgaging the future. You’ve got some surplus built in there for the draft.
Because the truth is, it’s very unlikely that Chiefs, or any NFL team for that matter, will ever have the offensive talent and coaching combo that they currently possess again. Andy won’t coach forever. We’ll lose some of our WRs or Kelce, Hunt, whatever...
This window is WIDE ****ing open. Yeah, I want it to always be open, but I don’t think it changes the future by trading a 2nd round pick. Thomas might be a great player here for 5 years.
I’d be all over this if I’m Veach. The AFC is ripe for the picking.
