Nothing you're suggesting is that far-fetched. And yeah, if things broke like that and Manning could come back at 90% of what he was in a Chiefs uniform, I'd start seriously pondering Super Bowl chances.
But why do we kill ourselves like this? We're not going to pursue Manning. And while Pioli managed to trade back intelligently once, he's also failed to do so once.
The chances of us having a draft like 2011 are no greater than the chances of us having a draft like 2009. In reality, it will probably end up looking a lot like 2010, and that draft is just shaping up okay at this point.
If it happened like you're suggesting, it would be a goddamn miracle. It would be a blessing from the football gods and an apology for all the evils they've inflicted on us over the last several decades.
It would be a damn sight more than "Very solid".
But it ain't gonna happen.

I'm guessing you're talking about the '09 draft when he took Tyson Jackson? If so, who would he havve traded down with? It was a VERY weak top of the draft that year. Nobody was trading up with us.
