He would have excelled with Vermeil, Saunders and Holmes and it wouldn't have cost the Chiefs a dime.

He MIGHT have, sure.
The fact is that Trent Green was the second most productive passer from 2002-2005 and that kind of production is worth a pick like that.
Its just a shame that 2 things didnt happen during that span
1) we didn't make a legit push to fix that defense
2) we didn't take a legit qb prospect that could take over when Trent eventually hung em up.
Aaron Rodgers went 9 picks after we took DJ...Brees went 20 picks after the pick we sent off for Trent Green and didnt do shit his first few years, either and that lead the Chargers to taking another highly picked QB to replace him with.
Shit, Eli Manning didnt want to get picked by SD because of how bad they were after 3 years of Brees (combined with tehir historic ineptitude and his dads personal failures with them)
Who knows how thing could have played out if we took him...?
