Walk Down Memory Lane - What If...

by bbear200 on Apr 12, 2010 5:29 AM CDT

The Detroit Lions had decided last year to get both their offensive and defensive "quarterbacks" in a single draft and accepted the Chiefs offer to trade back up in the first round for our pick at #3 overall. Lions take Matt Stafford at #1, trade their #20 pick in the first round and their #33 pick at the top of the second round to the Chiefs and select linebacker Aaron Curry with #3.

The Chiefs at #20 select OLB Clay Matthews (possesses the pass rushing skills we need and that Curry lacked) and S Louis Delmas at #33 (had a great rookie year for the Lions).

Flashforward to 2010. Now the Chiefs don't have a need at safety and have an amazing young pass rushing linebacker opposite Tamba Hali.

I think in that situation, we would move up in the 2010 draft to select Ndamukong Suh as a 3-4 DE.

What do you think?

What if

we had a slightly above average defense in 2003?
I just made myself sad. :(

You think it's coincidence that I bleed red?

What if?

This is one Chief’s fan who probably would have cried, having missed the last half of the season and the playoffs due to a silly thing called bootcamp. Had we won the Superbowl and I hadn’t been able to see it I’d have lost it.
