I just don't think we're in any position to be trading multiple draft picks away. Especially when there's a chance we might have the first pick in every round. Unless you find a really good offensive lineman or safety or something. But even then, it might not be worth it. I'm tired of everybody building this team from outside-in... Carl did the same thing. We need an offensive line, a nose tackle, MLB's, safeties.

This is a supremely flawed argument.
The 2009 draft was loaded with offensive lineman and skill position talent. The 2010 draft will be loaded with defensive talent. You should not draft against the board, but since Pioli did it in 2009, I guess nothing can be unexpected.
The bottom line is that the Chiefs had the picks to make this deal happen. They have two second rounders due to the Gonzalez trade so their three was expendable and they better have gotten a 5th for Thigpen, otherwise, I'm going to go ****ing apeshit.
Especially if it was Thigpen for Alleman and Nsuckwe.
