YoloinOhio Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Huge return for Seattle. Bills couldn’t give up 9. Late first more palatable for KC. Edited April 23, 2019 by YoloinOhio
Logic Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 That trade makes sense for the Chiefs. They're only really giving up the 29th pick this year and a probable late 2nd next year. They can also reasonably feel like they're an impact pass rusher away from another Super Bowl run. This move would NOT have made sense for the Bills. The 9th pick is too high to give up for a team that is where the Bills are in their building process, and the Bills should NOT reasonably feel like they're one player away from a Super Bowl run. 8 4
MJS Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Wow. They gave up a ton. Glad the Bills didn't do that. 10

I think the chiefs look sorta silly here..... why not pay ford, the slightly lessor but almost as productive talent, and hold onto your 1st this year and 2nd next year? 10 1
formerlyofCtown Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Thats why we didnt make the trade. Too expensive given the depth in this draft. It also probably lends some truth to the Ansah talk. It is going to be disappointing for Cheifs fans when they get picked apart all season not having CBs. 2 minutes ago, Logic said: That trade makes sense for the Chiefs.

Bill from NYC Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Good. I was afraid that we would do something like this. I want MORE picks in 2020.

Pete Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 Seahawks GM loves draft picks- I will bet anyone he trades back for more picks. I’m hoping Beane does same if no oliver
NewEra Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 I would’ve kept Ford. Clark May be a better player, but not that much better where you’d give up a 1st rd pick. Crazy 1
Alphadawg7 Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Couple of things: Thank god Bills didnt make this trade. Thats a lot of draft capital and money, and with a pretty good defense already, this was WAY too much for us to pay. WTF are the Chiefs doing? They just traded a first round pick, next years 2nd (main comp they got from Dee was a 2nd this year) and a swap of thirds for Frank Clark and will pay him MORE money than they would have payed Ford. In what world does this make sense for the Chiefs? Clark > Ford, but the difference is NOT this dramatic. This is as puzzling as giving Sammy $16M last year when they already had Hill, Kelce, Conley, and Hunt as weapons for Mahomes. This trade may kill all ability to get Clowney, at least for us. No way Beane trades anything close to this for Clowney and also pays him. If Houston would entertain a swap of firsts, sure, I can see Beane being at the table. But not trading away a first all together and a 2nd and future picks. NO WAY. Edited April 23, 2019 by Alphadawg7 5

Nobody, but then they also can develop their own draft picks and not have to pay him a mega deal for 4-5 more years. 1
