Chiefs I honestly think it's gonna be a bit difficult to trade down

RedThat · 04-09-2009, 09:16 AM

The reason I say that is other teams that may want to trade up are going to have pay quite a bit to move up into the Chiefs draft slot.

in other words, I just think another team is going to have to give up too much value. And I recall Teicher mentioning that in one of his video blogs. That he doesn't think a trade down from the Chiefs will happen for those reasons. Im gonna have to agree with him there.

Im just thinking from a realistic standpoint of view. Although, I do want a trade down to happen? Only for purposes of accumulating more picks in the process, and I just strongly feel that in this draft there are no real players in the top 5 that just blow you away. I just think it's going to be very hard, unless there is a highly coveted player another team may want, and the deal makes sense then I can see a trade down happening. But, I just don't feel optimistic about it.

A lot of us have been saying that for a while now. If we move down, it's not going to be a traditional 'value chart' kind of move, because the top of the draft is so weak.

I'd take less to move out of the top 5 and accrue more picks if at all possible, but that's just me.

If we want to gamble, pick Sanchez with the 3rd. Trade him to the highest bidder if one available or trade Cassel for highest bidder if one available. If not, well, we are set at QB

What are you talking about? This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to draft Jesus Christ, himself.

Oh, Come on....he's pretty busy playing President of the United States right now, and he's rumored to be more interested in street hoops.

Way to go out on a limb there.

You mean Mark Sanchez?!!! He's so dreamy.

We are set at QB. Matt Cassell is our 2nd round pick pretty much?

I just don't see the Chiefs trading Cassell, especially when they just gave up a 2nd rounder to get him? And that is quite a bit of value. I look at the roster I see Cassell and Thigpen, yup those are our quarterbacks pretty much going into the season.

I just can't see them drafting Sanchez either? I just don't see it as a realistic possibility. Simply because I believe Pioli has his mind set on Cassell. They are probably not going to draft a quarterback either? If they do, it'll be a depth move imo. Maybe one in like the 5th or 6th round. I just think the Chiefs are not going to have any other choice but to draft BPA to along with position of need at #3.

If Stafford or Sanchez is there at 3, you draft them. There, wasn't that simple?

No brainer, IMO. Either will easily replace Thigpen right away.

Pitt Gorilla · 04-09-2009, 09:52 AM

If Stafford goes #1, somebody will want Sanchez at 3. We may not get full value, but we'd get something pretty close.
