I can't believe anyone would actually believe that they wouldn't do what they think is best for the future of the team just to have a pick in the draft.

Looks like no one is going to trade fairly with Veach at this point. Call it SB tax. We probably have hit that stage now. Especially in the AFC. No one is going to willingly do anything that makes KC notably better, particularly when these teams know that they're going to be playing KC in the playoffs. If we're going to do a trade with an AFC team, they're going to charge a little more now.

Think back to when we made the trade for Mahomes, and how little we actually had to give up to get him. Nobody is going to let that happen again. |

This is a really good pick at a position of need, one that's expensive, and we took a productive player with a ton of room to grow. That's pretty damned good at #31.

Yeah it's pretty damned good. I'd be pumped if Hyatt wasn't right there. I think he could have been special on this team.

But it is a more straight forward trade to to go after the first pick in the 2nd round vs a first rounder. Some may value that 5th year option totally different. But really if a team is only wanting to give 4-6 rounders to move up a few spots that really is not going to be worth it. We need more quality picks then quantity. |

I don't think his phone is ringing off the hook there. And if he's to be believed, Uzi was their top guy on the board and they didn't anticipate him still being available at the spots they were getting offers from so they pulled the trigger. You really don't need to get any cuter than that here. |

Veach said he had calls coming in for #31, but that they were all in the 40's. He said that if they'd done that, then they'd have had to use the picks they earned to climb back up, so it wasn't worth it.

That’s why I said unsubstantiated. Yeah I don’t buy that veach would reach for a pick purely for show. And of course I doubt it had anything to do with ego. But you look at the splash they made to announce the pick (which was epic, not gonna lie) and it’s hard not to think it at least factored in. I’d have to think goodell gave a little nudge nudge. Like I said. Not at all outraged because it seems like a good pick even staying put. If Pitt does trade out it probably gives us a good idea of what was offered
