How much could we get for Thigpen?

With Minnesota hurting for a QB. What kind of trade could we get for Thigpen, and would it be worth it.

I'm sure they did not give up a third for Alleman and Undukwe?

a 3rd is a bit much for a guy currently 4th on our depth chart.

Gretz says as of this morning's practice Thigpen looks to be the 2nd QB and got most of the 2nd team reps today.

I bet they are giving him second team reps to pretend he is the #2 guy and his stock goes up...Pioli knows what he is doing

i would be surprised if we could get a third rounder for thigpen..i dont know if he is worth less than a 3rd rounder, but a capable backup can be important...but not for us, as we are still rebuilding...we need all the picks we can get...i would take a third in a heartbeat, not so sure about a 4th though...hes definitely worth more than a 5th rounder (to me atleast)...

i would take a 4th round pick for him. i would do it asap before Jackson from the Vikes goes on the block which would hurt his value.

Well after watching Croyle against Minnesota, they could be giving Thigpen his shot to beat out Croyle.

It could be a ligit move, but I agree with you.

Well, at this point I have to believe that he has more trade value than does Croyle.

Chiefs former 4th round picks:
2009: Donald Washington
2008: Will Franklin
2005: Craphonso Thorpe
2004: Samie Parker, Jared Allen
2003: Brett Williams
2002: Omar Easy
2001: Monty Beisel, George Layne
2000: Frank Moreau
1999: Larry Parker
1998: Greg Favors
1997: Pat Barnes
1996: Donnie Edwards
1995: Steve Stenstrom
1994: Bracey Walker
1993: Jaime Fields
1992: Mike Evans
1990: Fred Jones

Out of those 19 picks, only 2 turned out to be good long-term players(Edwards and Allen). If they trade Thigpen, I would much prefer it to be for a starting offensive lineman.

There isn't a GM out there dumb enough to trade a starting OL for Thigpen.

And just because CP made lousy 4th round picks doesn't mean every Chiefs GM will. I mean, it's a little early to be judging the Washington pick, ya think.
