The Chiefs only give up a 2nd rounder. Nice work!

I think that drafting at 13 gives us a better chance for a "can't miss" talent but if they threw in their #1 and their first second rounder you probably have to take it.

I would not give up 13 if Andre Smith was there.

Andre Smith really would improve the run game:

"An absolute mauler. Overpowering at the point of attack. Takes solid angles and is almost always in position if the block is at the line of scrimmage. Shows good upper-body power and even stronger in the lower body. Drives defenders off the line of scrimmage. Only small concern here is that he sometimes is a bit slow getting into position as a second-level run blocker."

On top of that the front office has shown that it won't shy away from guys with marginal character issues (Davis, Kelly, Thomas, Haynesworth, Hall) so it's definately not out of the range of possibilities. Kind of funny though how a lot of our most recent acquisitions fit the marginal character issues profile.

Plus I think the fact that he was considered a top 5 pick will weigh heavily in their final evaluation of Smith as I think they still had Kelly graded as a first round pick when they took him.

Keep in mind that Vrabel was part of the deal.

NE didn't get taken by this trade, they cut their salary cap in a huge way. They didn't mind getting a 2nd round pick for a huge costs savings.

Which makes it an even bigger robbery. A veteran leader on defense and a young franchise QB for a lone 2nd round pick.

It'll helps us in a trade down scenario because looking at the NE depth chart the Patriots really need an OLB (Thomas is 31 and missed the last 7 or 8 games) and they showed with Jerod Mayo last year that they're not shy about reaching for the guy they want but I'm on the Andre Smith bandwagon so I'm kind of hoping we stay put at 13.
