Chiefs Possible trades...........

**Tribal Warfare** · 03-02-2009, 01:10 AM

IMO, it seems Pioli will try to get rid of all the Vermeil/Edward leftovers as possible for picks the players who have some value are probably gone are DJ,LJ,Thigpen and unfortunately Waters. I know most are very obvious, but the DJ trade is very likely due to he's a coverage Linebacker and his lackadaisical work ethic but he still has an assload of talent but no discipline.

And why do you think he will do this?

Conflicting attitudes in the lockerroom that the said players won't buy into the system and new leadership.

He won't trade DJ.

I believe he will, the guy should be a perennial all-pro by now but doesn't have the work ethic to get over the top.

I doubt he'll trade young linebackers

He has value, because of his youth but doesn't have attitude or work ethic to be on a winning team. Hell Gunther and Herm have said that he loses focus and gets lazy during games. Who the **** gets lazy during games, the guy is getting away with this because of his talent and part of the reason why KC was always in the bottom half of league defensively.

What would be the point of trading DJ? Some people here just have unreasonable expectations from him.

One he's a Cover 2 Linebacker, and the other is his attitude and work ethic. Look, Whitlock and others have said this is an issue that his physique looks soft, and is due to his lack of training regiment in the offseason.

I continue to put Tony G at a 3rd.

LJ at a mid-rounder.

Waters at a 3rd.

Thigpen, if anybody out there is genuinely interested, would have to be a performance-based pick, since he could be a gimmick or a legit talent.

Not saying DJ is living up to his potential, but I don't see Pioli trading away the only LB on his team w/ any talent when he's gonna need 4 of them for the defensive scheme he wants to run.

Pioli even said it himself, " Individuals make probowls, but a team whens championships" Then he went on drafting the right players ect...

A LB taken at the 15th pick should be significantly more productive than he is.

Although I agree for where we drafted him it seems like he should be more, we don't need to get rid of adequate players.

We can't recreate the entire team all at once, and he's definitely not the weakest link. Even if he doesn't fit, I'm sure we can find some place for him.

I know other teams like NE have tons of linebackers and switch them all about. Maybe he could be a good 3-4 lb on passing downs. I don't know if teams do that, but my point is that we can make it work. But we shouldn't just try and get a team that's 80% different in one year, you know?

I think after 3 years, it should be totally forgotten where a person was drafted. Its unfair to a player to say they suck when they are a quality (not great) part of a team, yet happened to be drafted in the top ten.

Disappointing he may be, but its time we get over it, accept him for what he is, and learn how to use him. And you can neg rep me for this, that's fine. But I'm trying to be optimistic, that's all. Just forget the past, and focus on the future.
