Chiefs We wanted Paxton Lynch

CanadaKC · 08-03-2016, 08:59 PM

…this is probably old news here…but Lee Steinberg was on sports radio today saying how the Chiefs were scrambling to move up to get him, only to be outdone by the Broncos. We were actually thinking of drafting a QBOTF? Here's hoping we actually win one of these "trade up" scenarios and steal the player, rather than the enemy stealing him.

There is a lot of evidence that suggests they were simply baiting Elway...they knew he was desperate for a QB. Reid likes smart QBs...it's why he went after Smith...and drafted Murray/Hogan. Lynch doesn't appear to be very bright... and never played under center. I call horse-shit.

They took a flyer on Bray...because he was essentially free.

Yeah, there were comments about this back in April.

They already have that in Bray...and he has a better arm.

From everything I have heard, Denver got desperate and moved up. KC was not interested in anything other than baiting them into pissing picks away.

thanks for clarifying that for me….that was the first I heard of it

No problem, glad to have straightened that lie out.

It was a brilliant move by Dorsey. He made Denver overpay for a bust.

A bunch of analysts were saying that the Chiefs were trying to get him. Dorsey denied it in a press conference. Why would the press ask that question? We'll never know for sure. There is a thread about it.

We've been over this 100 times.

Peter King, one of the most reliable in the business, reported that we were talking trade down with the Cowboys, who were looking to trade up for Lynch. To be more specific, WE called them.

When you have your eyes on a QB, and he's your guy, you are all in. That was obviously not the case whether there was some interest there or not.

You just shut your trap blasphemer. Everyone knows the Chiefs will never fall for that old draft a QB in the first round trick again.

Or they couldn't find a trade partner.
