We just might get a trade down yet.

Danes point is valid, though.

I'd rather get raped on compensation that get raped by staying put and taking Joeckel.

I think Luke Joeckel may be the most overhyped prospect I've EVER see go through the draft process. Watch his Florida and Alabama games, he got beat all day and bailed out by Manziel.

They need to get Albert locked up long term and take a qb or trade down.

IF Dorsey trades down, I guarantee he gets within 500 points of actual value of the pick. Who's to say we don't make a couple moves and acquire multiple future picks. With the "lack of talent" in this draft, teams might be more inclined to move up to get their guy, rather than stand pat and hope their guy drops.

And I agree about Albert getting locked up long term. I don't want to waste the pick on a position we're already pretty decent at.

If we trade down it will be with the eagles.

Andy doing them a solid letting chip get his QB

[jimw51]

Maybe get a extra draft pick or two

The draft value chart is the place you start, not the place you finish.

The Chiefs should be looking to offer the 1st overall at a bargain's bargain.

If they did it for a single 1st round pick, then yeah.

If you research the breakdowns, it's used as a guideline, not as gospel.

If they offer a trade down at a 500 point discount, that would probably get teams interested...according to The Bad Guy, multiple teams have already called wanting to move up to 1.

[BossChief]

Hey, I'm with ya...but not if that means dropping all the way from 1 to 12...

If we aren't taking a qb (and we aren't) then I'd prefer them to move back 3 or 4 times and get a boatload of 2s and 3s and picks in future drafts if at all possible...and end up selecting in the mid to late 20s.

I'd be fine with that.

Again, prefaced with "if they aren't gonna take a qb"

Is this team better with Joeckel/Fisher or with an Ansah and a Brown?

If your answer is the latter, you make the trade.

[BossChief]

That's a valid point. I just think that if a team can move from 12 to 1 for only a second rounder, someone would offer more.

[cdcox]

Geez, blow your first round pick on a LT every four years? The Dolphins are as reeruned as the Chiefs.

[saphojunkie]

We will trade down and we will take the highest offer. Your insipid arguments about "value" mean jack ****ing shit.

[BossChief]

I wouldn't draft Ansah that high though. I think he is around the 5th or 6th best pass rusher in this class and has massive bust potential for multiple reasons.

1) age - his birth isn't formally recorded and his age is basically an educated guess. The guy looks 28-30 to me.

2) less than one year as starter and only 3 years playing football at all. He won't physically dominate NFL left tackles IMO.

There are more concerns I have with him, but those are the two major ones.

I was just using him as an example to illustrate how the team would be affected by such a trade.

Cut him in half and count his rings

This a 1000x !!!

No way in hell I take Ansah in the first rd. He is more of a late 2nd or early 3rd rd pick. Way, waaaaaaaaaay overrated. Just like Pioli overrated Poe last year.
