Depends entirely on what Dorsey and Reid think of him. We're gonna find out fairly soon. If we trade for Alex Smith, then that says they don't believe in him or Barkley.

I don't agree 100%. I think its more of a transitional thing. If Alex Smith is brought in, I don't really see a reason why a QB can't be taken first overall. I wouldn't necessarily expect it, but I wouldn't rule it out completely. I think in the worst case, it just means they don't see any of the rookies as week 1 starters.

This means nothing. Geno WILL be a KC Chief.

Wanting to trade down is one thing. Finding a willing partner is another. It doesn't mean a deal will happen even if they want it to. I don't think many teams will be willing to trade up in this particular draft. The Chiefs probably aren't too keen on moving down too far, and I doubt a team in the 5-10 range would be willing to deal a high 2nd round pick to take a player in the top of this draft.

Teddy Bridgewater could be a very good player next year. I was looking at him for the Eagles because Vick probably won't be here past 2013.

Well, Mr Bigglestein, it only takes one team with a Hardon for one player to find us a partner and there are at least 3 teams in the 5-10 range that could fit that bill.

I agree, but the key here to trading down is IF the Chiefs really do not want Geno and his stock really rises in the next month and a half and there are 2 teams that really do want him(which I think is very realistic when you see who is drafting just behind us....Jags,Raiders,Cardinals etc...)that are in the 5-15 range I could see several teams willing to come up. The downside of this whole scenario is that we don't get Geno.

If they trade down past Philly, they obviously don't WANT Geno.

A trade down, if it comes, will come from a team in the top 10.

Detriot shopped the top pick when Stafford was their pick too. Even if it was a token shop around, I recall seeing it at that time.

My guess is that is what is happening here now. Shop it to see if there are any takers. Nothing short of a massive haul of draft picks will sway Dorsey and Reid though.

Good post. I hope you're right.
