Say you do trade down though to 4, and the Cards call up the Raiders and trade to 3 and take him there. Then you are left with a guy you aren't a high on. Why risk it. |

If they feel like there is one guy and then the rest of them are scrubs, then yes you absolutely take that one guy number 1. IF you feel like he is your guy. Absolutely. My understanding of this thread was that hypothetically KC wasn't enamored with Geno and looking to trade down. After Geno, to me it's a toss-up. It certainly makes drafting Wilson or Barkley less of a gamble when you get the extra picks. Given that the top of the second round is essentially the first round (with guys falling), you're looking at getting potentially 3 first round talents - INCLUDING YOUR QB - simply for not taking a guy you weren't high on anyway. Couple that with the extra first round pick next year, and I think it's a no-brainer. |

Looking over the Eagles schedule for next year, it is looking like that first round pick in '14 could be a very high pick as well. |

It's about how comfortable you are gambling that you get NONE of the 3 you listed. While it's not likely that Geno, Wilson, and Barkley go 1-2-3, it's absolutely possible. You're taking a risk that all you're left with is Glennon or some equally shitty option. |

So it comes down to whether it's worth the risk. And I think it is absolutely, positively, 100% worth the risk. (under this scenario - I still want Geno Smith, dammit.) |

That's when you get into what the Browns GM called the Weeden pick.....a "panicked disaster". |

If the Chiefs took Barkley, I would be in no way more disappointed than if they took Wilson. If they aren't taking Geno, then my emotions go way down. Barkley + #34, #36, and two firsts next year Wilson + #34, #36, and two firsts next year. To me, they're the same. |

So.....what happens when you trade down to #4 and Wilson goes #2 or #3? What the **** do we do then? Do we reach for Barkley (if they don't have him rated as high) or do you take a player that you now have to find a spot for? |
