RG3...Am I crazy?

You just have the wrong qb targeted. His initials are AL1

Hopefully, we can trade back with Cleveland and add some more quality talent through the draft with an additional 2nd or 3rd rd pick.

We still have major depth chart issues, as well as holes in the starting lineup. That’s too many issues to be giving up that much for one player.

but I say Tag and trade bowe, plus whatever else it takes to get the rams pick. pick up the QB. Just look around the league at the teams that have been successful. Almost all of them are using a drafted QB, and most of those QBs were taken in the first round. Orton hasn’t gotten it done for any team that he has been with. Look at what the Broncos did after Tebow started. Look at what the Bears did with Cutler. Do we have some depth issues? Yes, but most of those can be addressed with FA. FA QBs don’t work.

For multiple reasons
1. It looks as though we only have one major need assuming we sign a guard in FA. So he could be the final piece to the puzzle
2. I think Vikings and Rams would be more that willing to deal the pick. Obviously, with few major injuries they still find themselves at the top of the draft at have very many holes on their roster.
3. Rams are in major rebuilding mode. They already fixed their coaching problems. While they are at it why not stock up on draft picks?

Thanks for the good read!

it would have to be to #3. And since we have oline and dline issues, i wouldn’t want to give up a lot for a QB who wouldn’t have the protection that he needs to make the plays downfield

But I literally do not think it’s even a remote possibility. If anything, the Chiefs are going to be more inclined to trade down and acquire more picks. I’m open to them doing anything, but I just think this scenario and others where the Chiefs move up are not going to happen. Wouldn’t mind being wrong.

Draft OT with the first pick, someone like R.Reiff, then draft K. Zeitler OG in the 2nd round. Start R.Stanzi behind the improved o-line, if he sucks we can draft Barkley next year and if he’s good the problem is solved either way. We could also throw in a mid round QB like Foles this year. Throw all our good picks at RG3 and not fixing the o-line gets us know where and most likely ends up with RG3 sitting on the bench with a injury and Stanzi starting anyways. RG3 will be a bust because he won’t be able to stay healthy in the NFL where the big boys play, write it down now for future reference so I don’t have to say I told ya so later on.

I thought it was supposed to mean Raider here. Dumb mistake

We would probably have to give up multiple 2nd round picks and miss out on drafting big time studs like Dex, Arenas, and Hudson. I’d much rather have non-starters than a franchise QB.

The guy was the best QB coming out of high school, went to freaking Notre Damn and did well, maybe just maybe it was to early for him to shine and carolina was just not the right spot for him. whats to lose?

I was working on my own fanpost about what it would take the chiefs to land RGIII but now that hornetchiefsfan has come up with the same subject I’m just going to add a few more trade scenarios: I’ll be looking at what it would cost the Chiefs to move up to any of the spots from 2 to 5 (Rams, Vikings, Browns and Bucs). RGIII certainly wont fall further than the Redskins pick at #6.
I agree with hornet that Cleveland at #4 is the most likely destination for Griffin, if no trades are made. But in the dreamland where I live it could also happen that even the Browns pass on him so that we’d have a chance to grab him at Clevelands spot or at the next one which belongs to the Bucs. This would be the cheapest possible trade scenario although it’s highly unlikely; unfortunately it is much more likely that it goes the other way, since those teams that possibly see RGIII as their QBOTF (Cleveland, Washington or others) could be willing to deal upwards to make sure they get him. IMO any of the teams in the Top 5 that already have their QB would be happy to get more picks via a trade since they have multiples holes to fill (Rams, Vikings, Bucs).
So I’ve calculated how costly each of these trade location would be. In contrast to “hornet” I’m going with the optimistic version: I have the Chiefs picking at #11 (assuming we win the flip). According to the trade chart pick #11 is worth 1250 Points (for #12 it would be 50 points less, the value of a low 4th round pick). The values for our possible landling spots are 2600 for pick #2, 2200 for #3, 1800 for #4 and 1700 for #5. The intervals between picks in the Top 5 are quite big.
So if our first round pick that values 1250 is part of the deal we would have to pay the Rams another 1350 points in picks, the Vikings 950, the Browns 550 and the Bucs 450. So these are some more or less realistic scenarios what we’d have to pay additionally:

• Rams at #2: 1st 2013 (1000) + 3rd (215) + 3rd 2013 (170) = 1385
• Vikings at #3: 2nd (470) + 4th (80) + 2nd in 2013 (375) = 925
• Browns at #4: 2nd (470) + 4th (80) = 550
• Bucs at #5: 2nd (470)

(next years picks calculated with 80% of this years value)

RG3 ALL WHAT IS NEEDED IN A QUARTERBACK, i agree, the chiefs are only a few components from having a contending team, keep, orton or cassell compete at camp for the starting position with RG3, stanza to the P.S., O-line, another bigger back to spell JC.
Pass catching Tight End to go along with Tony M.
RG3 would be perfect in Kansas City
And Teach them how to hit our defense, all but DJ, and TH. bring, A lot of the fan base did not like Pollard but the dude could bring it, we really don’t want to be labeled as having a soft Defense, and missing tackles trying to be cute.
