I don't think you get my point but I will argue Atlanta and KC were in similar positions after the 2007 season. We also had several fairly high picks sitting around who may not be on the team 2 years from now. Carl's crappy drafting and Clark waiting another year to blow things up are the difference between TG being relevant to KC's plans or trade bait.
That's depressing. Whoever we draft with a 2nd round pick will not likely add the value TG would to this team the next few years. Obviously after that different story.
BTW Atlanta was 11th in scoring defense and 24th in yards given up. Their offense (10th and 6th respectively)was the reason for the turnaround not the defense.
