KC Star Sports blog calling for the team to get Cassel

ScottieC

Well, one is a blog and the other is a discussion on their Message Board like ours - So technically they are different.

I enjoyed reading some of the posts - Seems like the majority is in the "Hell NO" camp as to trading the 3rd pick for The Cassel.

Let them all talk - Haters Hate, that's what they do - We have three Lombardi's, how about you?

The people over there seem to hate Matt.
I can understand their reluctance about trading the 3rd overall pick, but when I read people saying they wouldn't give up a 3rd round pick for Matt they lose me.

LOL, man those guys are greedy...

when was the last time they ahd a QB anyway...it almost sounds as if they have HOF waiting if they dont get one soon...LOL

So they are hoping to surround the Cassel with a third overall? That would be great for us but we all know Pioli is no idiot. Could we get a first rounder for Cassel? Probably. But not that high of a first round pick.

Same here...can't quite grasp that mentality

If I was a Chiefs' fan, I wouldn't be all that psyched about keeping the 3rd pick. It is a bit of crap shoot and an expensive one at that. At least with Cassel, Pioli knows what he is getting. Here are some stellar top 5 picks in recent years:

2003
Charles Rogers (2nd)
Dewayne Robertson (4th)

2004
Robert Gallery (2nd)

2005
Alex Smith (1st)
Ronnie Brown (2nd) Not a bust, but nowhere good enough to be the second pick in the draft
Braylon Edwards (3rd) Ditto
Cedric Benson (4th)
Cadillac Williams (5th)
O for 5 in that draft in getting a franchise player.

2006
Vince Young (3rd)
D'Brickishaw Ferguson (4th)

2007
JaMarcus Russell (1st)

2008
Too early to tell, but Glenn Dorsey and Darren McFadden were really disapointing this season. Vernon Gholston at 6 has been a disaster so far.

So even if Cassel doesn't build on this year, he may be a safer bet than you get with the third pick.

Granted I agree that I don't think Belichick wants the third pick and would rather get subsequent picks equalling the value of the third pick. It is too hard to trade out of the top 5 and too expensive to sign a top 5 draft pick who is a crap shoot.

I doubt Pioli, having learned a thing or two about the draft, will keep that #3 overall.

People out here will moan and groan and not understand it, but i wouldnt be surprised to see him trade it down for #2 and #3 and a #1 in 2010 or something and then sign a Garcia-caliber QB. That would give the Chiefs picks #35, a 40-something, #67, and,say #80. with Pioli doing the picking thats a lot of quality.

thats what always happens here.
