Chiefs Crazy prediction: Donald Stephenson gets traded during the preseason.

I look at this OL depth, and I see one player that doesn't belong.

At left tackle, we have Branden Albert and Eric Fisher backing him up.

At left guard, we have Jeff Allen with Geoff Schwartz playing swing guard.

At center, we have Rodney Hudson and Eric Kush.

Right guard, Jon Asamoah with Schwartz backing up.

At right tackle, we have Eric Fisher with coach-favorite Matt Reynolds on board.

I think Donald Stephenson is the odd man out.

That said, he has starting ability, and the Chiefs don't want to simply cut the guy. So I believe they play him a ton in the preseason, then try to swing a deal for him.

Under normal circumstances, I think you could score a 4th for him, or even trick a team into getting your 3rd rounder back that you spent on him. But given that teams only trade with us when they can rape us (thanks to the Javier Arenas trade...), I don't know if we'll be able to get anything higher than a 5th.
