The Kansas City Chiefs are indeed trying hard to get rid of their #3 overall pick. From Adam Teicher at The Red Zone:
The Chiefs are apparently trying hard to move down from the number three spot. I'm hearing they offered the Lions that pick plus a fourth-round choice in return for Detroit's other first-rounder (#20) and Detroit's second-rounder (#33).
The Lions rejected the offer. Too bad for the Chiefs. Since they don't have a second-round pick, this stands a chance of being a one-player draft for the Chiefs. And they need more than one player from this draft.
So the Chiefs are willing to give up their first round pick, plus their fourth round choice to snag basically two first rounders. I'm not surprised the Lions rejected the offer. If you already had one albatross pick at #1, why put another one around your neck?
This is showing just how much the Chiefs want out of the third overall pick. Look how this breaks down in the draft trade chart (as old as it may be):
It was a nice try. Detroit could have had Stafford and Curry. The problem is the amount of money that they would have had to pay for both of them. Last time I remember a team picking 2 players that high was when the Colts picked Steve Entman and Quentin Coryat (sp).
You would think they had bigger things to worry about right now.
Unless if they can’t trade out of #3 they go ahead and draft Sanchez there and hold him for ransom to all the other teams that want him. Don’t think thats a great idea, but it could happen.

Dude… Lion’s need a LT. And they SHOULD pull the trigger on that trade. It’s probably a money issue.

How many tickets can they possibly be selling for just being the Lions? Then throw in the crappy economy and the state of the auto industry. That was the reason I honestly believed they were going to pass on Stafford.
An awesome trade attempt. Wish it would have happended. It shows that we are going to bust this draft day up. The Cassel sign is another sign that we aren’t going to make just one pick. The Chiefs are here to make some noise. Watch Out!!

I think he’s overrated. I hope we don’t take Tyson Jackson (unless we trade down). I hope we don’t take Crabtree. It’s either trade down or Curry.

Not so sexy, but that’ll be cool.. Smith or Monroe… But I think you gotta look at not just play, but character… And Aaron Curry is a huge Team Leader. It’s what this team needs.

That means chances of us trading down are not so good.

THis year’s first and next year’s first for their #8 if Sanchez is there. So If they are willing to offer the Jags that package what are they offering St. Louis?
