Yep, I was hoping that we could trade back and still get Nix later, but with the Penix pick, that thought went out the window. Obviously I would have rather had more picks by trading back, but I'm certain Nix wouldn't have been available anymore.

They can sit there all they want and talk about how much they love the player now that he's a Bronco, but it says a lot that they wanted him more after a trade back, and wouldn't even consider trading up. Nothing about that screams "our guy". |

The desire to trade back had a lot to do with the fact that Denver is missing three first round picks and three second round picks due to the Russ and Payton trades.
They didn’t trade back because they were terrified they’d miss out on their guy. |

We're talking about a franchise QB here KnowMo. A trade down isn't even on your mind if he's "our guy". |

Remember when the General had day 2 picks on the table for Jeudy and ended up shipping him off for a 5th?

I guess I am in the minority of Chiefs fans who hate that Denver drafted Nix and Franklin.
I look at Nix, and I think about Drew Brees. There isn't a single thing that Brees could do physically, that Nix doesn't do as well or better. I am not saying that Nix is going to be Drew Brees, but Sean Payton took a relatively weak armed, short QB with little mobility, and turned him into a HOFer who may be the best player in NFL history to never win an MVP, so I don't get why people are so confident Nix won't be successful. |
