kelly Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The Kansas City Chiefs’ choices with the No. 1 pick continue to be murky and it is not getting any clearer as the NFL combine comes to a close. Thus, I think the team may have to start getting creative about the pick and it could mean taking a run at prized cornerback Darrelle Revis. The Chiefs’ situation got more complicated with the news that Utah defensive lineman Star Lotulelei has a heart condition and he is undergoing tests. He couldn’t work out at the combine because of the matter. Unless Lotulelei gets firm medical conformation that he is at no risk because of the heart issue, there is little chance he will be taken at the top of the draft. Would the Chiefs trade the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft to acquire star Jets CB Darrelle Revis? Lotulelei is Scouts Inc.’s top-rated prospect and is one of the few top prospects who makes some positional sense for the Chiefs.West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith ran well at the combine and received mixed reviews for his performances in the passing drills. He still may be a long shot at No. 1. Thus, signs point to Kansas City taking Texas A&M left tackle Luke Joeckel at No.1. But that isn’t clear cut, either. The Chiefs like free-agent left tackle Branden Albert and remain interested in re-signing him. I wouldn’t get too excited about the possibility of drafting Joeckel and moving Albert to guard. Albert wants to stay at left tackle and he knows someone will pay him the premium to play it. Simply letting Albert walk and drafting Joeckel would not be taking advantage of having the top pick and it wouldn’t necessarily make the Chiefs better.They must get better by using the pick wisely. I have an idea how that could happen: go get Revis. The Jets are reportedly willing to trade the All-Pro cornerback.I could see a scenario where the Chiefs could use the No. 1 pick as bait and get Revis, who played for new Kansas City defensive coordinator Bob Sutton in New York, and the No. 9 pick in return. There may have to be some additions on either side, but I’m not sure the Jets could get a better offer. The Chiefs could then pair Revis with Brandon Flowers and have one of the best cornerback situations in the NFL. Yes, Revis is coming off a torn ACL. But all reports are that he is making great progress and he is in the prime of his career. And, yes, Revis would likely require a new deal, but I think he Chiefs could find a way to keep receiver Dwayne Bowe and add Revis. That would likely mean letting Albert walk in free agency. But with the No. 9 pick, the Chiefs could likely get Central Michigan left tackle Eric Fisher and very likely get Oklahoma’s Lane Johnson. Both are highly skilled left tackles. In addition, reports are heavy that the Chiefs are going after San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith.So, this is what the team’s offseason scorecard could look like:In: Bowe, Alex Smith, Revis and a top rookie left tackle rookie. Out: Albert and the No. 1 pick. Looks OK to me and if somehow Albert could be kept, the Chiefs could use the No. 9 pick on Geno Smith or a top prospect at another position. I know there are lots of hoops to go through for this scenario to unfold and I am not naïve enough to think it can occur easily. But it’s plausible through some brainstorming. That’s exactly the point of the Chiefs’ situation. They have to get creative because there are too many questions right now about them having the No. 1 pick. They might have to get creative to make it a positive situation. > http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/55244/revis-could-solve-chiefs-dilemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Wait... we aren't even getting a #1 for him? We are trading up 8 spots in a draft where there isn't one player we are particularly excited about? Sounds like a great deal. The top choices have a bad heart and a questionable arm. Why wouldn't we want to move up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The Jets #9 pick, and Revis for the #1? Not in this draft. I don't know that there is much difference between the 1 and the 9. Moore had a bad combine, and Star looks like he is out. Pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 who would the Jets take at 1? no one wants to pick at 1. It's a nightmare up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberjet Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 This deal makes no sense - trading the #9 pick plus Revis for the #1. Might as well give them Revis for nothing. Now if they want Revis and a second or third rounder for their first then you listen but personally I would want Revis plus our 2nd rounder for their #1 pick and their 3rd round pick.

We get that #1 and then we can trade down! Look at the draft value chart! The #1 overall is worth the #5 and #10! Yippee, I'm sure it would be easy to get those!

Even if that were to happen who would you pick at 1 who is significantly better then who will be there at 9?

New York Mick Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Why the hell would we give away revis? The top of this years draft is questionable at best and revis is worth a hell of a lot more then 8 spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the article never addressed why the Jets would do it...only why it would be good for the chiefs. Like, no sh*t it would be good for the chiefs. It makes zero sense for the Jets, though.

Il Mostro Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 If you could be guaranteed getting the best CB on the planet by far with the #1 pick, would you go for it? Would you give up more picks to move up to #1? No one in this draft makes sense in an even up trade for Revis. Need to get much more. Swapping picks is just cray.

When I was reading the beginning of the article I think it seemed like a very realistic possibility, until the writer threw in that the deal would supposedly have the Jets send the #9 pick back in exchange, which is completely absurd. While I may be one of those who is most open to the idea of the Jets trading Revis, even I know that would be absolutely ridiculous to do, unless there is someone they are absolutely in love with that they are convinced is a huge answer for the team - even still the deal would also need to include, at worst, a conditional pick next that could go as high as a first. An 8-spot move, even if it is to #1, is completely laughable of an offer for Revis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An 8-spot move, even if it is to #1, is completely laughable of an offer for Revis. If this were last year's draft you do that deal without question. Few among us wouldn't essentially trade Revis for Luck or RGIII straight up. But of course, there's no one like that in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd trade Revis in a heartbeat for the #1 ... keep the #9, parlay the #1 into say, two other first rounders. With 3 of the top 25 picks, take care of 3 areas of need.
