The Goat 02-28-2009, 02:47 PM The Chiefs only give up a 2nd rounder. Nice work! Kansas City Chiefs trade for Patriots' quarterback Matt Cassel - Peter King - SI.com (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/peter_king/02/28/chiefs.trade.for.cassel/index.html) wilsowilso 02-28-2009, 02:59 PM Good trade for KC!

Any chance they become a trade partner? They could use a corner with Deltha O'Neal and Ellis Hobbs as their starters. They also need OLB's but the draft is deep there so they can afford to wait.

They could use a corner with Deltha O'Neal and Ellis Hobbs as their starters. They also need OLB's but the draft is deep there so they can afford to wait. I think that drafting at 13 gives us a better chance for a "can't miss" talent but if they threw in their #1 and their first second rounder you probably have to take it. I would not give up 13 if Andre Smith was there. GMScud 02-28-2009, 03:15 PM The Chiefs only give up a 2nd rounder. Nice work!

Pioli doing what he does. Unreal. King makes a good point - the fact that Houston gave up two 2nd rounders for Matt Schaub a few years back makes this one a head scratcher. You better believe the Chargers, Broncos, and Raiders are pretty miffed. Dirtbag59 02-28-2009, 03:19 PM Wow. Pioli doing what he does. Unreal. King makes a good point - the fact that Houston gave up two 2nd rounders for Matt Schaub a few years back makes this one a head scratcher. You better believe the Chargers, Broncos, and Raiders are pretty miffed. Keep in mind that Vrabel was part of the deal. Dirtbag59 02-28-2009, 03:23 PM I think that drafting at 13 gives us a better chance for a "can't miss" talent but if they threw in their #1 and their first second rounder you probably have to take it. I would not give up 13 if Andre Smith was there. Andre Smith really would improve the run game: "An absolute mauler. Overpowering at the point of attack. Takes solid angles and is almost always in position if the block is at the line of scrimmage. Shows good upper-body power and even stronger in the lower body. Drives defenders off the line of scrimmage. Only small concern here is that he sometimes is a bit slow getting into position as a second-level run blocker." On top of that the front office has shown that it won't shy away from guys with marginal character issues (Davis, Kelly, Thomas, Haynesworth, Hall) so it's definately not out of the range of possibilities. Kind of funny though how a lot of our most recent acquisitions fit the marginal character issues profile. Plus I think the fact that he was considered a top 5 pick will weigh heavily in their final evaluation of Smith as I think they still had Kelly graded as a first round pick when they took him. SFREDSKIN 02-28-2009, 03:23 PM NE didn't get taken by this trade, they cut their salary cap in a huge way. They didn't mind getting a 2nd round pick for a huge costs savings.
