It makes all the sense in the world to have a QB like Lynch developing behind Alex for 2-3 years just like Rodgers. This bullshit about "smart QB's" is a show. It is what it is...bullshit. McNabb got a 14 on the wonderlic. Vick was not smart at all.
Just bc the Chiefs talked to Dallas about trading down doesn't mean the Chiefs didn't call teams to discuss moving up for Lynch. That's most likely what happened. Dorsey called a team to ask what it would cost to move up for Lynch, the team told the media/Lynch's agent and that's where the rumor came from.
IMO if the Chiefs hadn't got ****ed by Roger, then we would have used our 3rd to trade up for Lynch with Dorsey's longtime friend, Seattle GM John Schneider, and then did the same trade down deal with our 2nd pick.

What do you not get about the Dallas trade being contingent upon Lynch being there at 28?
Dorsey essentially called Dallas up to say "You can have Lynch if he makes it here, but we want a 3rd rounder."
Does it makes sense that he was also trying to trade up for Lynch knowing this?
Both of these more than likely aren't true. One we know from somebody who was in the actual war on when it happened with no reason to lie, the other is from an agent with a motive to lie. If both things happened, the most likely reason is Dorsey was sending smoke screens to get Elway to trade up.
