chiefs are in a good spot at 3 to trade down though. i would hate to trade down to below 12 max though.

there are only two teams that have the ability to trade up with a glaring need for a QB to #3. the first is buffalo, and they don't think they need a QB, the other is the donx. they have 2 first round piks that would make a sweet deal or a first and a second but they have no reason to deal as long as the skins stay behind them. the skins don't have any piks worth enuf to trade up so the donx can just sit there to watch sanchez fall into there laps. the may deal if they are convinced seattle is after sanchez and stafford is already gone, but its unlikely seattle w/take sanchez at #4 so they too will look to trade down. so it donna lookin very good to be tradin down for us CHIEFS don't you know.
Why is it unlikely that Seattly will take Sanchez? Hasselbeck isn't getting any younger, and he has been hurt a lot lately. If they believe that Sanchez will fit their pass oriented westcoast offense then why not take him at 4? Im not saying they are looking to replace Hasselbeck immediately, but in my opinion the timing is pretty good right now. They can sit Sanchez behind Hasselbeck for a few, and I'd say he would be an upgrade to Wallace as the backup? (Wallace is not bad at all, but Sanchez has superior physical attributes..)
Just my thought. :)
Yeah, Seattle has to be thinking that this is their chance to groom Hasselbeck's successor. Sanchez could sit for the year unless Hasselbeck got hurt. I can't see Sanchez slipping past Seattle.
Which is why some stupid team should trade up with us. The 49ers would be perfect, as we'd be able to get Tyson Jackson, Maualuga, Raji, or Oher, who are just as good/amost as good as their counterparts at the top of the draft at a fraction of the price.
i'm sure seattle is looking at sanchez, but they have other needs and believe that next year will be a QB rich draft. hass' still has more than a few good seasons left if he stays healthy so why push it this year and pay top money on a QB w/only one season experience when next year they may get a higher rated QB at a lower pick and lower price.
we wont trade down cause curry goes 31 leaving 2 qb's on the board and the rams arent getting a QB and even if seattle does there is still one more qb left and the trade spot then would be to # 5
The defense has already gotten a major boost by the regime change.
I think that coaching was the biggest problem with our '08 defense.
Not that I am real terribly confident in our replacement. But that the Herm/Gun situation was horrible, and made players look even worse than their actual performances.
The two biggest needs for this team, in my opinion, are on O-line and D-line.
If we stay at #3, then there is top notch O-line talent available, but d-line help would be a reach.
Demorrio Williams.
Everyone seemed to be pretty high on this guy when we got him. And I have no complaints about the guy.
Also, Tamba Hali may be in the mix. (I don't like that idea.)
Wrong...I believe Pioli would be able to get something done. I read somewhere that stated that Pioli would be happy to trade out of #3 even if the point compensation didn't exactly match.
Here are some teams that have shown interest in Sanchez:
Seahawks
Cleveland
Jags(minimal)
49ers(minimal)
Donkeys
Redskins
NY Jets
Tampa Bay Bucs
That's 8 teams that are will probably try to leap-frog each other for Sanchez.
Remember that Cleveland wouldn't hesitate to trade Brady Quinn and Skins would also trade Jason Cambell.
From ESPN:
The most serious interest in Sanchez, a USC product, is coming from the Seattle Seahawks at No. 4; the Cleveland Browns at No. 5; the Washington Redskins at No. 13; and the New York Jets at No. 17. Several current veteran quarterbacks, including Brady Quinn of the Browns and Jason Campbell of the Redskins, would be on the block should either team select Sanchez.
------just my thought
If a Team like the skins really wanted Sanchez... why don't we just trade spots w/ them + Jason Cambell can come too... We can then trade Jason Cambell to another team that needs a solid QB for a 2nd round draft pick + more if possible (a first would be great but that's probably not happening).
Our #3 pick - 2200 points
Skins #13 pick - 1150 points
Difference - 1050 pionts (equivalent to #15 in 1st round)
Send jason cambell along and we trade him for... let's say a 2nd round draft pick ~500 points and 4th ~ 100 points... total the value to be about 1600-1800 point range...
Not exactly equal to 2200 points but (as mentioned above) Pioli said he'd bargain w/ people who were interested...
This gets us out of paying top 3 money...
Gives us a chance to draft the best player available (whether on O or D)
and we get a 2nd round pick back...
and gives the Skins the guy they want...
Just my thought.. Not the best but reasonable
