It really should not that hard tho. May already have things in place , just have to do the house cleaning first.
:chiefs:
Pick Teo.. trade down. No qb in this draft is worth a top 20 pick.
After watching Manning torch everyone but Flowers, I wouldnt mind drafting a CB with the #1 pick ... Especially since the QBs have been less than impressive.
I'm inclined to agree. But will there be anyone out there wanting to trade up in this draft class?Quote:

Tis not the draft for a qb, acquire as many pics as you can.Quote:

Agreed. When the HC & GM are in place, that's when the draft speculation (and free agency talk) will get really interesting.Quote:

Just hope they let the fans in on the process. Don't have to give any specific details , just let us know what they are thinking. Not like every team doesn't know what every other team needs anyway.
If it isn't a QB, then it's a waste.
With one exception. They work out a reasonable trade for Kirk Cousins.Quote:

We've seen one game from the kid. I think they should trade back and grab Geno in the mid-teens and then draft two wide outs.Quote:

But they will have come way down on the asking price cause it too steep.
No more trading for unproving qbs, it didnt work with cassel why would it work again
But most on here want to draft unproven, immature and not worth the early pick QB with the first pick what is the difference?Quote:

Beside it worked with our best QB in team history Len Dawson.
Heck trade for Cousins if it doesn't cost an arm and leg , work a trade and draft Wilson , then take the best tall corner they can get , draft a C(bigger need imho) or tackle ,bring in a vet who's football smart(doesnt need to be a winner just savvy) and i'd be happy w/ that.
They can look at FA's for line , don't have to draft them.
I agree with you 100% in this statement. I read they were wanting 2 first and a mid round pick for Cousins NO WAY! They got him for a 5th last year and he has only played the 1 plus games, I would be okay with a second or later round.Quote:

There are some very good QBs that started as backups:
Aaron Rodgers, Kurt Warner, Tom Brady, and the list goes on.
If you have seen them play QB in the NFL against an NFL caliber defense and have done well, then I think you have to consider them if the team is willing to let them go.
We have to consider people like Kirk Cousins, TJ Yates, Matt Flynn.
The difference between these guys and Cassel, is that Cassel had a lot of critics saying that he wasnt good enough to lead a team. He had a weak arm and was slow in his reads. When you took away the NE talent and the great OC, then his weaknesses became magnified.
Yates played in like 6 games, what weaknesses he has have been identified, and you know what you will be getting.
You mean like Matt?? Went 11-5 and we got him for a second.. seemed great at the time and it was well worth the risk at a two. Not his fault every year a b ewe offense and crappy recievers and coaches. Remindes me of Sanchez.
I don't see any team no matter how desperate giving 2 firsts for Cousins. I would trade down for picks and give them a mid to late first for him though. Otherwise we might just draft unproven talent and be taking an even bigger risk. I'd say go with the guy with 1 game behind him vs none.
The difference is how many college games did Cassel win vs how many did Cousins win? You can't really compare the 2 IMO.
I wanna say Matt cassel went 5 years without starting one game. To compare the two is like apples and orange. Cousins had to have two big plays when rg 3 went down. That's clutch if you ask me.Quote:

A surprise , a known in GB( i believe they knew what they had) and a probably never should have been all made good. You never know where a good one will come from.
KC should turn over every rock they can , draft or trade or whatever.
Whatever the case on who we draft or who coaches us I can see already we all aren't going to be in agreement but such is life. :D
