It just ****ing amazes me that this many fans believe that trading down every year is the best way to go about things.
Teams that trade down are generally the teams that have a lot of top end talent (Eagles, Patriots). The Chiefs can't afford not to get a serious playmaker out of THIS draft.

The draft is a lot more about who you pick than where you pick. If a GM believes that he has the draft pegged, it would almost always make more sense to take 2 players early than one player really early. There's plenty of talent out there. I don't know if Pioli's a great GM or not, but I'd take a great GM picking at 10 over a crappy GM picking at 5, especially if you give the great GM an extra first or second rounder.
