ideal situation is for us to trade down, BUT who would want to trade up to #1? without a clear franchise QB or record breaking RB, or speed demon WR who would be the undisputed #1 overall pick that multiple teams would covet, and thus be willing to give us multiple picks to trade up for him?
Until it gets close to draft time we won't really know but that is the problem with everyone saying trade the first pick, it takes another team that covets the pick in order to be able to trade it. I said that earlier in the week, everyone ignores this fact and goes on and talks about trading it as though it is easy.
I think we need to focus on QB. If we aren't sure that our top QB prospect is going to still be on the board when we trade down I wouldn't make a trade.
We might get a free agent qb and we can get our lb
Jax is the first teamQuote:

the jags are the first team other than the CHIEFS in the top 10 piks that are expected to draft a QB and thus would be a likely candidate as a trade partner.
and be carefull what you "guarantee"
Keep the first pick and draft the best player available within our needs. There are better QB's available outside the draft this year. Flynn is an example. There's not a QB in the draft worth the #1 pick, so there's no reason to even talk about it.
Thats what is going to happen. A new gm will be picking. Probably geno smithQuote:

There is more than one hole putting us in this position and drafting a Ray Lewis type of beast at ILB for years to come is better than reaching on a QB because fans don't care about the value as long as it a QB.Quote:

Fact of the matter any QB we draft this year will most likely not turn this team around like Luck or RG3 did. It will take time.
Yes, I know it sucks there is not a QB like Luck or or RG3 but reaching on a QB just because could set this team back for more years to come.
We won't have the first pick...Jax will!
Yes we still at this time have the 1st pick because our strength of schedule is lower.Quote:

I believe that was an optomistic approach saying we will win another game and Jax won't.Quote:

I don't see Seattle giving him up cheaply. I agree that Manti is a better pick. Imagine him with Hali, Houston, and Johnson. QB is a huge need but I am not sold on anyone high in the first.Quote:

Don't forget that we need more than one QB. I think we can now safely say that Cassel and Quinn are not long term answers. Considering Stanzi has not been capable of even taking a snap, let alone beating out the two awful qb's in front of him I think you can also safely say Dtanzi is not the answer.
We need bare minimum two QB's! Why not draft Geno Smith and Matt Flynn. You need two viable qb's to be legit anyhow. Any Bears fan can tell you that.
My vote is to draft qb's early and often. I don't care if we draft a QB with every pick. How many of those 6th and 7th rd picks actually play anyway? Until we find a QB, the quality of our defense won't matter. The defense has played decent this year. How much did that help us?
There need to be 3-4 new qb's brought in to camp at a MINIMUM!!!!!!
Sounds like wishful thinking. :sign0153:Quote:

BPA with number 1 pick. Rest assured - that player won't be Smith.
I wish we had been in this position last year with RG3 and Luck on the board.Quote:

Dude how can you argue for this. Last year it was without a question that there were two franchise qbs, can't miss prospects, qb's that come around once in a while. Geno Smith isn't even remotely in the same conversation as these two. So the best prospect on the board projects to go 10 or lower and thats who you take at #!? Lets just hope Geno has one hell of a combine or tryler wilson or matt barkley?Quote:

Sometimes I think we're missing the point...There's even bigger questions with the Chiefs. Will Pioli be around? Who will be the next HC? Who will be the next OC or DC for that matter?
I'm hoping that we do keep the #1 pick. If anything it'll help attract a quality GM or HC into coming to KC.

Seeing as that will not happen this year we need to take the best qb prospect on the board, reach or not. Would anyone be complaining if we took Josh Freeman in 2009 at number 3 instead of Tyson Jackson?
No.
I think mark Sanchez was the first qb taken in that draft I could be wrong. And freeman is really up and down. Have you looked at that draft not too many success stories?Quote:
