I think they got hosed.

That 3rd Rd pick , in this draft?? It's worth way more than your typical year. Such a deep class, you can easily strike gold in the 3rd.

We add an instant starter.

We receive their 1st Rd next year!

Again, that 3rd rounder could be gold.

 

Then they pick Mahomes!?!? And talk about us getting hosed? Lol. They essentially wasted 2 2st Rd picks and a 3rd . This trade will set them back imo,and plunge us forward

They gave the NFL the 10th pick and got a top 60 player in return. That is worth a laugh in KC?

 

FWIW Gil Brandt had him ranked as the number 18 player, Trubisky was 8, Watson was 9 and Kizer was 33. Even looking on Twitter a lot of people who talk to scouts indicated the teams had the QBs ranked way higher than your Kipers, McShays and other Mocksters...

I'm told those around the league expect Texas Tech QB Patrick Mahomes to go top 10. Chiefs known to love him, have entertained trade up.

Our Bills have up 171 basis draft points to do the deal so in fact using the traditional point system KC came out ahead

However 171 is not alot of points but it is another draft pick we did not get

Still I like the idea of the trade down

 

Much better than giving away draft picks for players that don't achieve the value of the picks

So I'll take all the extra picks

Just wish we had even more in 2018

By having not signed marginal FA's

Here's a set of words that represent the last time we traded down::

 

EJ Manuel/Kiko Alonso/Marquise Goodwin/7th round TE

for

Tayvon Austin/JAG safety who can't play half of next year

 

== We get Shady McCoy.

 

:lol:

 

The Redskins pissed away picks to the Rams, who pissed them away to us, while we did pretty good with them....

...but who the F cares...because Shady is worth every player above and then some.

 

When they made that trade earlier, on NFL network some Chiefs guy was wiping his hands on his butt, and actually pulled his butt-cheeks apart for a second. I said "Yep, get used to that, because the Rams and Redskins had to".

 

And they, are laughing at us? :wacko:

 

EDIT: Apparently few have learned the RG3 lesson. Moreover, even fewer have learned the "NFL will change because college does spread offense, and therefore starting rookie QBs == auto-SB", is utter BS, lesson.

 

Statistical anomalies are exactly that: Johnny Manziel anyone? :lol:

 

I have Shady McCoy on my team because of a trade down. Anybody laughing at that?

I'd like to add that the 3rd Rd pick has more value this year, than in any draft in recent memory, so striking gold would not be a shocker considering how many highly talented prospects will be available in Round 3!

thanks,

 

If next years draft turns out to be a better draft class to meet needs say for instance at the QB position,

 

then the points lost could become a moot point, eh wilcoam

The chiefs got a tough schedule next year. Ne, hou, pit, nfc east, raiders and denver twice, and of course us. 8 losses wouldnt be out of the question especially if they dont keep getting their 7 pts a game from def and special teams

Just checked a Chiefs message board and they are all laughing at how little they gave up.

They used 2 first round picks and also this years 3rd in a very deep and talented class to draft a QB that was most often not even in the top 40 players in this draft, never really higher than 3rd at his own position, has a ton of mechanics and footwork issues he needs to rebuild, and was really a 2nd round QB at best, but in this weak class his stock got elevated.

 

Keep laughing KC, I am enjoying every second of the fact that we don't have to try and rebuild Mahomes...aka Bortles part 2. Only time will tell, but I am glad we aren't the ones that have to fix him before he can have success in the NFL.

I keep saying how important that 3rd is in this specific draft. We now have 2 opportunities to strike gold in the 3rd where plenty of very talented players await. ..KC has zero

And no 1st next year, all for a guy that has nothing that screams "Franchise QB"

I'm not sure how you can say it's 171 points.

 

We don't know how many points to assign to a next year's first rounder.

 

Next year's first rounder is worth this year's second, but which pick in the 2nd? Nobody's ever said. The middle pick? If so we got the value. There's no way to know where the Chiefs will be picking next year. We can't value that pick exactly on the chart.

 

For the Chiefs this will all come down to Mahomes. If he's a franchise guy, brilliant trade. If he never is, an ultimate waste.

It's a flawed system. Best thing we can go by is the Hou Cle trade. Cleveland was at 12. Hou at 25.

Browns just got a 2018 1st Rd draft pick in return . We were 2 spots higher, and we landed 2 spots lower but got a first and a 3rd , top 100 pick this year in a very deep ,quality draft. You can hit gold in the 3rd for sure and now we have 2 cracks on it.

 

Comparing to the Browns trade, it sounds like a good and fair deal.
