Expect Flurry of First-Round Draft Trades
Expect flurry of first-round draft trades
08:03 AM ET 04.14 | Stability at quarterback among teams picking in the back half of the draft is likely to directly affect the wheeling and dealing. Of the teams picking from 17-32 in the first round, the only team that really needs a quarterback is Seattle, which is picking 25th. The rest are all set, unless one of those teams plans to look for a quarterback of the future. The quarterback stability of the teams in those spots is why they are there. ... What that should do is set up what could be a wild ride at the back end of the first round, with a flurry of trades. The haves can make deals with the have-nots. "I still think as many as five quarterbacks go in the first round," an NFC general manager said. "You watch. Some of those guys will go late in the round when teams realize they won't all be there in the second, and they have to make moves to get them." CBSSports.com Since we're "set" at "quarterback" . . . what are the odds we trade down from 21 and pick up additional picks? |

The Dolphins would be an interesting situation. They pick at #15 and they need a QB. I think #15 is to high to take one of the other QBs outside of Gabbert and Newton. They don't have a 2nd round pick this year. They might be willing to part with their 1st in next years draft to move up into the latter part of the 1st round.

Pioli could start stacking picks . . . a.k.a. another example of the Patriots way, right? . . . but the Chiefs have so many needs it would be hard to be patient on acquiring what we need NOW - assuming there is a season.

IMO we are 4-5 quality players away from being a contender...not as far as you perceive things evidently.

Get the QB and everything else will work itself out a hell of a lot easier, but we don't seem to give a **** about this, for some strange reason. |

LT (Albert sucks - he's not an NFL caliber LT) LG (Waters is done) FB (Both of ours aren't very good) DE (Dorsey's position, who, while better in 2010, isn't all that good) 13 guys who should be replaced. I expect that we use one of our fifth rounders to trade up for a tight end to replace Pope. |

RB2, WR3, DE and ILB are not even close to being pressing needs... not saying they couldn't be upgraded... but those spots aren't holding us back like the others. |

The frequency of trades seems to have been increasing every year, so of course this wouldn't be surprising.
I don't know if they actually have been increasing or not, but it sure feels that way. Unless we're raping the other team, I wouldn't wanna trade out of the first round.

Trading for Cassel and not taking Sanchez will haunt this team the rest of this decade.

Sanchez, in 2010, was the third worst quarterback in the league statistically, only eclipsing Derek Anderson and Chief's Planet's favorite son, Jimmy Clausen. And that's playing behind a top flight offensive line, a solid running game and a top five defense. What do you possibly think he'd have accomplished here that Cassel hasn't? |

Albert is not trash. He was the LT on a team that led the NFL in rushing. Can we upgrade, possibly, but we can definitely survive with him as a Left Tackle.

If they don't upgrade the position this year, and we actually end up playing the 2011 year with the schedule as it is, I guarantee you that by the end of the season the vast majority of people here will be vociferously calling for his replacement. |
