Nothing.
Yep, there's that pesky little 3rd overall still sitting firmly in our hands. Had that trade, minus Vrabel, been for 3rd overall? There's nothing to discuss, and "the deal is done"! 
That's not the case.
Now prior to this trade, it had been discussed ad-nauseum how very difficult it would be to get a proper balance going on a trade-down. It was also surmised that finding a team willing to do this would be even harder.
Long story short; I believe that Matt Cassel is now the "Drew Bledsoe" on the roster of the Kansas City Chiefs.
As to what happens on the 25th of April, I'll let you draw your own conclusions.  |
So are you saying that we are going to draft a QB #3 overall, just to add them to the mix, and let them all compete for the spot? So, $15 million ap hit for MC, and probably a $12 million cap hit for the rookie?
Or, are you saying that we will draft our QB at #3, and then, having snatched up the last "franchise" QB in the draft (most likely), dangle MC out there to those teams looking for a starter, such as San Fran at the #10 spot, or maybe the Lions with there 20/21 (not sure what it is) cowboys pick?
If it is the latter, hmm.
