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.

Good point sedated. If our new brass can pull it off pull it. But in the past hell no. Oh and if you look at our draft last pick of our best player so far hopfully not in the future...

**BossChief** · 04-18-2010, 06:43 PM

The top five players in the draft are likely

1) Suh
2) Berry
3) Spiller
4) McCoy
5) Haden

in that order

you could argue that all are "blue chip" players

what's left should matter when you are rating blue chip etc

you can have 0 blue chips or 20 in a draft ... it's not relative imo

Suh
McCoy
Berry

are Bradford and Clausen really blue chip or are they just the best of the current QB class?

Listen dumbass.

I didn't pull bullshit out of my ass.

Casssel has a big roster bonus that will come due next March.

You're the ****ing idiot that thinks Scott Pioli will pay that roster bonus rather than admit a mistake.

The reeruned is strong in this thread.

chiefsfan93 · 04-18-2010, 06:52 PM

ur right laz but I was thinking in this draft he may be the only one left. If I had to pick one it would be berry because he has swagger. Im not a scout at all I just like what he brings in the nickle package and his skills by far over the rest of the draft he impresses me the most considering the ball was thrown away from him.The rest of the guys in the draft just dont quite make me as sure.
