There are too many other things to spend that money on. Besides, the OL depth in this draft would allow the Chiefs to upgrade at OG in a much more efficient manner than spending that kind of money for a guy who doesn't want to be an OG.
BTW, did anyone catch the fact that Alex Smith is owed $8.5M in 2013? There's no way the Chiefs gave up anything higher than a 4th round pick unless the 49ers agreed to take on a substantial amount of his salary. If the 49ers agreed to pay 3/4 of his remaining salary, I'd go as high as a 2nd. If they didn't help with his salary at all, I'd be pissed if the Chiefs gave up anything more than a 4th.
