There's just no way that was going to happen anyway.

It was reported, and I think most of us believe, that Hunt anchored the 2023 1st round pick so that Veach couldn't spend it in 2022 when he wanted Jameson Williams because the draft was going to be in KC.

There's no way Hunt would let the Chiefs escape the 1st round without a selection unless the deal was too good to be true.

31/217 for 38/70 would be so clownishly lopsided, it would have been a slam dunk decision by the Chiefs I think. They'd probably still move up from 38 to get FAU if need be, and now they'd have an extra 3rd to play with.

But the Raiders were not going to agree to that under any circumstances, I don't think.
