It would be dumb to trade Cassell and help out the Broncos.. But we could trade down and get a later first and a early second. I'd be happy with that.

I agree, why put them out of their misery?
3rd pick is a wash for 12 and 18th. So it coud happen in theory. Usually something like this would never happen between two teams within the same division, but obviously McDaniels and Pioli have a history together. If Pioli pulled that kind of trade off, this would have to go down as one of the best off-seasons the Chiefs have had in decades.
It could happen if these things take place:
1. Detroit take Stafford or Sanchez
2. Seattle gives any impression that they will take a QB.
I think Detroit is almost forced to take a QB now after this trade. There are too many teams that need a QB drafting before they pick again at #20. Those teams could include: Seattle, Jacksonville, San Fran, Denver, NYJ, and TB. Stafford supposedly had an incredible workout for the Lions this week as well. The Lions can still get a big time LB at #20 like Cushing, Maulauga, etc.
There are only 3 QB's with a 1st round grade; Stafford, Sanchez, and Freeman. After that, you have Pat White who is more likely to play WR in the NFL. After Pat White, nobody is projected to go before the 5th round.
So if Stafford or Sanchez goes #1, the only way to guarantee yourself that you get one of the Top 3 QB's in this draft is to trade up for KC's spot since Seattle picks #4. Some believed that Seattle would draft Crabtree at #4, but with the addition of TJ Housmanzadeh, there is now some doubt. And that doubt is what brings huge value to KC's #3 slot. Combine this with the fact that not many teams are in love with Freeman. Then you have 2 QB's and and as many as 7 teams needing one. Even if Pioli doesn't have anyone trying to make this trade, he can still call Seattle and bluff that them into moving up 1 spot. Bsed on the draft value chart, that could mean a mid-2nd rouind pick as compensation just for moving down 1 spot. The more I think about this, the more excited I get.
It could happen for the Chiefs. Last week I would have said no way, but because of the Cutler trade it now seems there is a decent chance.
I personally hope the Chiefs can trade out of the #3 spot.
ST Louis is now saying they are willing to deal the #2 pick.
Either StL or us are getting outta our pick i'm pretty sure.
Might end up being StL since if teams are serious about moving up they might aswell jump to #2 and not take the chance. Even though StL probably won't take a QB
There is that wrinkle, but why pay the extra money and draft compensation to move 2 spots in front of Seattle when everyone knows that STL will not take a QB. If you are just trying to out-maneuver the next team, then you could pull it off with less money and draft pick compensation by upping your offer to KC.:D
Let's assume for a second I'm wrong, and some team does pay STL to swap 1st round spots. Now KC is the only way to guarantee yourself a 1st round QB. The other 6 teams that were outbid for the #2 spot, now have no choice but to trade up for Freeman if they want a 1st round QB. This scenario could be even better.
i really hope they do trade up for Sanchez, bc as it looks now, the Donks are going to be getting a top 3 pick next year...which means They will get a lightning QB NEXT year (Bradford)....
if they trade away two top picks for one Mark Sanchez, whom i think is overrated anyways, i think they will be making a huge mistake..and we all know how much we love Donk mistakes....
