Chiefs Are 'Badly' Trying To Trade Down To Middle Of First*Round

by Joel Thorman on Apr 18, 2010 10:34 AM CDT in 2010 Campaign

Last year about this time, Michael Lombardi of the National Football Post first reported that the Chiefs were "in love" with LSU DE Tyson Jackson. A few days later and Jackson was the Chiefs pick in the draft.

Now Lombardi reports that the Chiefs are trying like hell to move down in the draft.

"The Chiefs are trying, and I mean really trying, to move down," Lombardi reports. "My sources tell me they'll be willing to go down as far as 15 for the right deal because they feel they can find a player in that range."

It's a fine line between trading down and trading down too far. According to Lombardi, our theory of the Eagles offering up the 24th and 37th picks for the Chiefs fifth pick doesn't look like it's happening. By staying around 15, they can still have a shot at a game changer -- Alabama LB Rolando McClain and Texas S Earl Thomas come to mind here -- as well as picking up extra selections.

That said, who's the Chiefs trading partner? SB Nation's Mocking The Draft takes an excellent look at this situation and comes to the conclusion that San Francisco might be the only team in that area that has a chance of moving up.

Lombardi reports the Chiefs are hoping someone wants to get in line to pick Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen.

I would hope to hell not. Better be alot more on the plate than that for a move down that far.

San Francisco's #13 and #49 would come close. Nobody else in the mid-teens to early teens really has anything to trade that would make it come close.

NE and Philly are the only teams in the 20's that could really make the jump, but I would like to think we would want multiple picks out of those teams. Way more than 24 and 37.

Otherwise you have to look to Cleveland or Buffalo... and if nothing happens there.... stay put at 5.

So you're saying he'll be more than happy to throw more millions at a mistake rather than admit the mistake and move on.

God, I hope he isn't as stupid as your dumbass.

If anyone thinks that if Cassel doesn't play much much much better next year that we wont make moves to move on without him, they are fooling themselves.

Ya know what sucks for Haley?

His job is dependent on him turning straw into gold with Cassel.

I think Charlie Weis has to turn him. That's his challenge now.

If he turns Matt Cassel into a bonafide QB, this would be his greatest accomplishment. He hasn't worked with a less talented QB in his entire coaching career.

You need some ensure? Maybe you need to learn how to read you dumb ****.

I never said that's what I hoped he did, that's what I believe he will do.

****ing read and comprehend what you just read before you go off calling someone a dumbass.

And if Charlie isnt able to work magic with Cassel, the team wont win and Haley will lose his job. Not after next year mind you, but after this year we would need to go with a younger quarterback and that would give us a learning curve that wouldnt equate to more wins.

I think that if you boil it down, Haleys job security depends on CW turning straw into gold.

I'm guessing the Chiefs bring in some kind of an option to compete. I'm just afraid it's Tebow or Lefevour. Or even a later round project like Tony Pike.

I called you stupid and a dumbass because you believe that's what he'll do.

Yes, because you know exactly what the future holds. Berry will be a hall of famer, right? And no one picked in the late first round will ever be a pro-bowler, right?
