Daniel Jeremiah: Many expect Chiefs to trade up for a CB

[Shag]

Not real surprising, but from here: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...oking-to-trade

Chiefs are a candidate to trade up for a CB: The Chiefs don't own a first-round pick in this year's draft (they dealt that pick away in the Patrick Mahomes trade last year), but I won't be surprised if they move up from where they're picking in the second round (No. 54 overall). They have a glaring need at cornerback and the top cover men will be long gone by the time they are on the clock if they stay put at No. 54. They need to get into the range of picks 35-40 in order to secure a Day One starter at that position, and many around the league expect them to make that happen.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Dorsey trade back into the first rd for Isaiah Oliver.

They have been all over the kid and it makes sense bc he’s the exact type of player Dorsey loves.

Dude has 33 1/2 inch arms. For reference, Richard Sherman has 32, Josh Norman has 32 3/4 and Marcus Peters has 31 1/2. That alone probably made Dorsey move this kid up his board

Or he could just trade up from 33.

There will be some trades in this draft that might seem one-sided. Several team officials told me in the past few days that they value Day 2 picks (rounds two and three) so highly that they’d be willing to take slightly less in compensation to move down. Where could this come into play? Cleveland (four), Indianapolis (six), Baltimore (16), Seattle (18), New England (23, 31), New Orleans (27), Philadelphia (32). “This is not your typical draft,” said one veteran club official Sunday. “The second, third and even fourth rounds are gold. You can take less than the trade-value chart says and still make a very good trade if you get multiple picks in those rounds.”

Which is exactly why the Chiefs should not trade up.

From the departments of duh and no shit, Sherlock. Exactly why I said the Chiefs would be ****ing reeruned to offer market value in any trade up scenario.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone suggesting KC should package a bunch of picks from this draft to move up. Those of us wanting to move up want to do so using picks from next year.

[Stryker]

I don't think the Chiefs will trade up into the first round. I think they stay put and hopefully, draft wisely with the 8 picks that they have.

[BryanBusby]

I could see them easily parting with one of the 4ths to move up 5-10 slots if a guy Veach is locked in on gets within range. Nothing wrong with that.

Did you actually read that article?

Teams wanting to move down want multiple 2nd and 3rds THIS YEAR.

[O.city]

Yeah, I don't know how good that 2nd next year will be.

I wonder if they could flip it for a player elsewhere. I know that makes contracts weird though.

Think that would be enough? I'm guessing it might take one of the extra thirds.

It would be like a throw in imo. Which would be like taking pennies on the dollar

Would be plenty.

I follow the draft very closely every year both for the CP mock and the real draft. This class has almost 50 guys with first round grades and a metric ton of prospects with third or higher grades.

But there are always teams wanting to add future picks in trade downs.

I’m sticking to my guns that I think KC moves up to 31-40 without packaging a bunch of picks from this year.

Well that's totally against what everyone is saying.

We will see
