So if someone went Herschel Walker on us then yes, I'd be willing to trade down, otherwise draft Gholston, Dorsey, Ellis, Long or Ryan.

We're only talking about moving 5 positions. It's still a top 10 first round pick. That's completely unrealistic.

It's unrealistic because I DO NOT WANT US TO TRADE DOWN.
I would have thought that was obvious.....

It is. There's no reason to get pissy about it. I just strongly disagree. IF Brown is healthy, and IF the trade is even offered... I think we'd be fools to pass up a 27yr old pro-bowl left tackle over 5 spots in draft position.

have you lost ur mind?
we will get a pro bowl OT plus we still get to pick 10,17
so it's almost free, they wanted to move back anyways.
There is no OT left that is better right now then Jammal Brown,
so we are getting a free first rounder that has only played like 3 years
this would be the biggest steal for the chiefs ever, the rebuild might only take a year. We could maybe get 4-7 starters from this draft.

You're assuming there's nothing wrong with Brown. There must be, or they wouldn't be trading him.

Then no team would take the deal. You can't trade a bum player. All teams have these players examined to make sure they are fine. Either that or they make darn sure their injuries aren't career ending, or even make them miss any time.

It isn't necessarily a physical problem.

I understand that their is a degererative condition for Browns' knee that was known when he came out of OU. Brown will be wanting a good salary. Here is the deal. He is probably good for a few more years. We can give him a good salary because we are so far under the cap and see his pro bowl play for 3 years. The ability then to get say Albert as well means this line has a big turnaround from last year. It is not a long term LT solution. I think it is worth considering. I would do it. The big lost in this is the chance of securing Ellis and his play on the defensive side. The number of players tells me to forgo Ellis. We look for rotation at the DT position as best we can this year. If we see improvement on the offensive run control then the defense won't be on the field as much IN THE BEST SCENARIO.

You're insane. If it's not a long term solution, there is absolutely no reason to do it, especially not at the cost of 5 spots in the draft at the top of the first round. No. No. No.
