No need to read further.
Pioli spends a 2nd on Cassel because he's getting excellent value. And he's right, considering other teams were reportedly prepared to offer a mid-1st for Cassel, and we beat them to it.
If Pioli has the opportunity to turn the 34th overall pick into the 18th or 19th overall pick, he's going top do it, regardless of his history with Cassel because it is what is best for the Kansas City Chiefs.
It's pretty obvious that he's at least keeping his options open, otherwise he would have signed Cassel to a long term deal immediately and lowered the cap hit.
I'm not saying it's going to happen, Steve. But I am saying that it does make sense, and I put NOTHING past Pioli. If he has an opportunity to better this team, he's going to take it - however unconventional it may seem.
