NFL Draft Lions taking Smith means Chiefs trading down?

journeyscarab · 03-23-2009, 11:27 AM

Could this be the situation for the Chiefs if the Lions take Smith and Rams take Monroe, could this mean teams like Denver, New York Jets, 49ers, and Vikings move up to our spot and we get their first and other picks?

Hopefully.

I would love to see this situation happen so we can get a decent pick in the first round like Everette Brown in a lower position and gain back our 2nd rounder.

My ideal scenario.

Kylo Ren · 03-23-2009, 11:40 AM

TRADE DOWN!

**The Franchise** · 03-23-2009, 11:42 AM

The question is....how far do you trade down?

Jaguars at 8? Garrard is over 30 and they could use a QB to sit behind him for 1-2 years.
49ers at 10? They really don't have a sure fire QB on the roster right now.
Jets at 17?
Bucs at 19?
Vikings at 22?

Actually I wouldn't have any problem with even trading THAT far down and loading up on draft picks (2-4) and/or talented vets.

I don't get why people assume every year it has to be our pick teams trade for.

Because Stafford might be a hot commodity if the 1st two teams pass on him. If we give people the idea we're going to take him, there's no reason we can't entertain some offers.

Jaguars - #8 and #39 for a total of 1910 points
49ers - #10 and #43 for a total of 1770
Jets - #17, #52 and #111 for a total of 1402

The #3 pick is worth 2200 points. So anything after #10 and the value starts to drop off a lot.

Picks from next year will almost assuredly be involved.

An extra first rounder next year would be SWELL.

Well, no one assumes that it has to be our pick that a team would trade for. However, we all know that our pick is one that teams 'could' trade for.

The Chiefs had an offer to trade down last year, but passed. I have more faith in this GM's ability to capitalize on draft day trades. Call me crazy.

Oh man, how sweet does that deal from the Saints look now? If only...

I'd say Jaguars or 49ers because 1. They are closer to our pick, they arn't in the division, and you could get Everette Brown or Brian Orakpo or Cushing near these two picks. I really like this scenario. I think it's a great situation. We need more picks.

I'm all for trading down (and have been saying so for over a month) but I wouldn't choose any of those players.
