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 have found some implosions quite entertaining over the years, but I don't want one because of the draft. A bad draft will **** our team over once again.

His is way overated and Earl Thomas will be a better pro safety than Berry, at worst every bit as good.

You do not pay #5 draft pick money for a freakin safety, unless you are already have a superbowl type roster. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Pioli is not stupid, so all you Berry worshipers need to be getting your suicide plans worked out.

He did pick a 5 Tech DE at 3 overall.... that was stupid, stupid, stupid.

Wow. Look at this genius. Die in a fire, fuqtard...

BigChiefFan · 04-19-2010, 08:49 AM

I have to say the upcoming draft is make or break for the team. Pioli needs to draft well and come away from the draft a better team. I'm not a fan of trading down.

Way to hedge your bet in sentence #2.
You make a post like this and you need to show up with both balls.

**The Bad Guy** · 04-19-2010, 09:00 AM

Shox, anything you want to bet let me know about Earl Thomas being just as good as Berry in the NFL. You'll probably run away from any bet though.

I love the "you don't pay a safety that much" when our GM took a 5-tech DE that has no pass rushing ability.

How many defensive end run stoppers (and it's very questionable that he can even do that) get 25 million guaranteed, genius?

Do you still think the NFL is played with leather helmets and Sean Landetta facemasks?

FlaChief58 · 04-19-2010, 09:05 AM

I can't believ this shit. Draft berry with the #5 pick and you have as close to a safe bet as it comes. Trade down and were looking at more chiefs mediocracy (that not to say we won't find talent later in the rnd). But this team needs a few superstars, and berry fits the bill. Its really hard being a chiefs fan as of late...

so did we trade out?

Sounds like a plan...)

DBOSHO · 04-19-2010, 09:45 AM

3 team trade just went down.

Lions get tony scheffler
eagles get ernie sims
donks get undisclosed draft pick

Micjones · 04-19-2010, 10:05 AM

I've got my heart set on Berry, but...

This team still has so many holes.
Would it be an epic failure if they wound up with Earl Thomas and say Jerry Hughes?

Titty Meat · 04-19-2010, 11:29 AM

Earl Thomas is going to be a very good player. The people who say he can't play the run need to actually watch the games. Texas front seven was so good infact the best in the nation first the run they didn't need to put a safety in the box.

Titty Meat · 04-19-2010, 11:30 AM

But still Pioli better draft Berry.

**The Franchise** · 04-19-2010, 11:31 AM

I'd rather have Berry. He's proven that can do everything that's been asked of him.

Cover one on one? Check.
Support the run? Check.
Play deep? Check.
