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.

Please explain WHO on this roster is even ****ing has any weight, whatsoever, regarding a trade.

90% of the ****ing roster was signed off the street.

And played like it.

You'd better get back to work. Pioli's balls are in need of attention.

Jamal Charles, Brandon Flowers, Glen Dorsey, Brando Carr, Brandon Albert, Brian Waters, Dewayne Bowe, DJ, Tamba Hali to name a few could be starters for other teams so I guess I will start there.

How many of those did Pioli bring in, BTW?

Really?

None of those guys have ANY leverage, whatsoever. None are in a contract year and most of those guys (outside of Charles, who hasn't proved anything other than 8 games) would be a risk for any team trading for them.

I don't think you understand the process.

They're being paid fair market value.

Again, I don't think you understand this process.

I don't give a damn if it was. What I do care about is the Italian cock gobbler couldn't even list a single player Pioli acquired in that assortment, which is pretty god damned telling given that the sonofabitch who brought in all of that listed talent led us to 4 and 2 wins in his last two years.

Pioli had 1 draft and you are trying to say that out of the whole team players who could bitch should be players in their 2nd year?

By the way, Pioli didn't lead us to 2 wins. That was Herm and Carl.

I say that is more on Vermeil than Herm.

I think you are missing the point of the post. The franchise is a joke. The sign outside the locker room made us a joke.

Nobody but CP cares about the ****ing sign.

Playing nearly every player from the 2008 draft while going through three QB's.

At least none of those QB's had a 14.6 QB rating.

Ooops.
