If the Chiefs offered their 2nd round pick for James Cook would you make the trade?

Don't trade with your rivals. That's my take. The draft trade was rather harmless, but I think you just shouldn't do it.

 

I wouldn't call KC a rival. Yes, the teams have played big games in recent years but once Allen and Mahomes are gone or both teams start to suck then it goes back to being just another game against a team in your conference. The "hatred" or "dislike" won't last like it does for the Fins, Pats, and Jets.

Worthy may have been enough to put Buffalo over the top IMO. 

 

I wouldn't describe the trade as harmless.

Meh. We clearly didn't want him. The trade was harmless. Not choosing to take Worthy could be seen as a mistake, if you feel strongly about that. The issue would be player evaluation and strategy, not the trade.

 

Anyway, I'm not convinced Worthy is some missing link. Let's see how his career pans out the next few years.

They can literally just draft a guy like Henderson from Ohio State.

 

I'd do it.  We keep losing to them because our pass rush is garbage and secondary/linebackers are made of glass.

 

Cook doesn't change any of that.

Pretty crazy how people still think excellent players are easily replaceable with a guy who’s never taken a snap in the NFL before. 

[Captain_Quint]

As long as they pay him $15mil/yr, that's fine.

 

No matter how you look at it, that is overpaying for a guy like Cook. If they want to do that, it weakens their team in the longrun.

They are certainly a rival. Disdain has little to do with it. You don't have to hate them. I don't. But they are rivals. That could change in the future, yes, but that's how it is right now. Division rivals are automatically rivals, I'll give you that.

Could easily be trading James Cook for the next Boogie Basham or AJ Epenesa.

I agree it's a big game on the schedule now as it has been for the past few years. Once these teams decline then it becomes just another game. The rivalries with the Fins, Pats, and Jets will always be there.

[TheWeatherMan]

No, but Beane probably would.  He’s the best Chiefs GM of all time.

He better hit on his picks in the early rounds of the draft this time. He has struck out too many times with that.

The poster talked about speed.  They can just draft a guy with speed.

 

We're not doing it.. and even if Beane wanted to, Year 1 of Worthy vs Coleman did not go his way, so even he's got to be gun shy here.

 

But if they're renting him or paying him 12-15M... so be it.  

 

We need to beef up the DL and there are a ton of DT's in that 45-75 range.  I'd love to have 3 picks in that range.

[Offside Number 76]

No more trades with that team.  How many times can the Bills be burned?

[Gregg]

I know they have won the division for the past 8 or 9 years but I actually think the Broncos or Chargers will challenge them. Harbaugh wins wherever he goes (49ers, Michigan) so I am pretty confident he will win with the Chargers as well.

[FireChans]

Would not trade with the Chiefs under any circumstance. They could offer us Mahomes for a 7th round pick

Stretching the oppositions D out with Worthy's speed and Allens arm strength was a no brainer for me. Worthys ball tracking skills was on full display in the Superbowl. Big rookie season. On the other hand Bills 1st pick in the 2nd round had very little impact his rookie season. Elam, now Coleman. Bills GM clearly needs to do a better job. (I'm by no means giving up on Coleman.)

 

Voted hell no on trading Cook to the Chefs,

 

good grief...

I know one GM who would gladly help the Chiefs. 

[TheFunPolice]

Nooooo! Nooooo!

 

Yelled in the bewildered and angry style of Mr. Gower in the alternate reality where George Bailey is asking him whether he knows him after Nick sprays him in the face and tells him to get out of the bar. 

 

Obviously he doesn't know George because George doesn't exist, and poor Mr. Gower was never warned by George (who doesn't exist) not to send poison in the medicine bottle when George was a kid...

 

So no. No trade. 

[Ned Flanders]

I wouldn't trade a peanut butter sandwich for a tuna fish with those dolts.

[uticaclub]

If Beane makes another trade with KC, theres no excuse not to fire him on the spot

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I think this makes a lot of sense. McBeane has already built nearly their entire offense.  Cook would be a nice addition to his handiwork.

Jimmy is getting a little too big for his britches. Fantastic season, but now he’s being “that guy” that deletes his own team rom social media, etc. 
 

The truth is, Josh is the the GM for the offense. No way they extended Shakir long term unless Josh wanted him there. Wonder his thoughts on James. 

His thoughts on Cook?!?? Really. How about best player on our offense outside of Josh and that's a close one.
