Don't know where else to say this, but, I was watching Eric Berry and Jamaal Charles highlights, and if they can return to pre injury productivity (maybe harder for Charles) it's like getting two of the leagues best players instantly added to your team. I'm quite excited about their return.

They won 7 games scoring 13 points a game. Charles has proven to be worth an additional 7 points a game when he's in the lineup. Damn, it hurt losing him.

The D was one of the best in the league the last half of the year despite shit safety play. Imagine what they can do getting that kind of dynamic player back? All thier key players are still ascending and in thier prime years. There are things to be excited about next year...

Hell getting the three ACLs back is gonna be like having an Aplus draft in that alone.

It's possible that in this offseason we could add two all pro RB's, an all pro SS, and a solid TE that are all under 26.

Yeah, it is pipedream bullshit, but this really is the year to go all in and go after a guy like Griffin. This team is built to win for years to come. They pwn the league with a young, high level QB.

The thought of staying put and selecting a damn guard or ILB makes me want to break things.

**BossChief** · 02-10-2012, 11:31 PM

That would be the best day ever as a Chiefs fan if we traded the whole draft to move up to take RG3 and then spent that 63 million to fill everything else in free agency.

It's too bad it has no chance of happening.

Okie_Apparition · 02-10-2012, 11:41 PM

I bet it's like the economy's numbers
It can be adjusted to say whatever you want

Trading the whole draft is too much of a gamble. You can afford a top 5 pick not panning out. It would hurt, maybe a lot, but wouldn't kill the team. You can't afford an entire draft not panning out.

While I might do that for Luck, I'm not THAT sold on RG3. He may end up great, but he strikes me as one of those great college QBs that could fizzle in the NFL.

There was some thing somewhere saying some GMs have Foles rated above the III

keg in kc · 02-10-2012, 11:50 PM

I think Griffin in the right situation could end up the best of the bunch. He made huge strides year-to-year at Baylor. People talk about him like he's an athlete that plays quarterback, and maybe he was 4 years ago, but he's grown into a quarterback who just happens to be an athlete.

And no I still wouldn't trade an entire draft for him.

Ummm what skill does Luck possess that RG3 doesn't that makes you think that?

I'm not saying I disagree or agree, I'd just like to hear your reasons.

I think a reasonably convincing argument could be made that RG3 passed Luck as a prospect during the year.

Link or it didn't happen. And if it's true those "GMs" are ****tards.

I really want to keep Carr.

Bowe can stay or go as long as helps the team with a trade or something when he leaves. btw i don't hate Bowe i just wonder how much money he wants and he might be our most valuable piece to do something dramatic to improve the team.

I get what you're getting at.

Trade Bowe, along with picks to the Rams for the #2 pick, right?

The problem the Rams have is that they are already up against the cap'
They are probably going to have to make cuts in order to sign their draft picks.

They can not afford to give Bowe the contract that he wants.

The only way the Chiefs can make that trade is to sign Bowe long term, then make that trade, meaning they have to absorb the bonus cap hit.

They won't do that.

BoneKrusher · 02-11-2012, 06:52 AM

so are we gonna use most of this 64 million to get Manning?

Yep. $100 million in your CB'S? No problem if you front load those deals. If they're not resigned, it's time to go back to "Clark Hunt doesn't give a shit about football".
