I would think most people now know Geno is going top 5 and most likely we'll be in the 15-20 range for the next few years. I know Phil pointed out the other later 1st round picks have had success, but this is a different time with the new CBA and emphasis on passing/scoring so the guys that used to be there won't be.
People can talk about whoever they want in the next draft, but odds are we won't be in a position to take a guy that is as good of a prospect as Geno.

I think the Chiefs made this trade believing that they've not only acquired a starter in 2013 (and likely, 2014) but that they'll have an opportunity to accumulate picks, which could go towards moving up in 2014.
I think it's very likely that Buffalo will trade up for Geno. I'd give a 65-35 chance today and I'll bet it continues to escalate the closer we get to draft day.
