Chiefs trade (Arenas) for...wait for it...a FB?
Chiefs acquired FB Anthony Sherman from the Chiefs...er Cardinals.
New Cards head coach Bruce Arians has no room for plodding fullbacks in his aggressive, vertical offense. So Sherman heads to Andy Reid's West Coast scheme as Jamaal Charles' lead blocker. The 2011 fifth-rounder graded out 20th among 25 qualifying fullbacks in Pro Football Focus' rankings last season.

And even if you say, "Arenas was always garbage, what's one fewer piece of garbage in a big pile of garbage?" then that doesn't explain why Dorsey and Reid went all out in free agency trying to get the team to win immediately. We want to win now, but we're taking a dude from a very weak position (whether he's JAG or not) and trading him for a guy who plays an antiquated offensive position of which we've already spent 2 6th rounders in the past two drafts and two other guys who could also do the job. By the way, one of those 6th rounders was just used by the man who made the trade like A ****ING WEEK before the trade. Hell, and you should also consider that one of the guys who was already on the roster, Patrick DiMarco, has made the Pro Bowl as a FB a few times since then. I'm not saying I'm not wrong. I'm definitely wrong on the trade. But at the time, yes, the trade was pretty ****ing wasteful. |

Fact is, those "guys who get paid to do this", get way more ****ing wrong than they do right. So until they start hitting 51% on a regular basis across the league, every armchair GM in the house can keep trucking right the **** on and over the condescending bodies of their snot-nosed, "professional"-defending counterpart fans.

Please remember that we traded for Sherman after we drafted a FB in the 6th.
Sherman has panned out and we won the trade but what the hell? |

"It's only a 6th round pick" is like saying "It's only a $20 bill." Why the hell would you flush it down the toilet like that? I'm talking about spending the pick on Braden Wilson in the first place, not trading for Anthony Sherman to basically oust Braden Wilson. |

So...does anyone think Arenas has any tread left to kick the tires, bring in for a look, show ropes, et al?

6th round picks are glorified UDFAs.
