Chiefs are trading six-time Pro-Bowl WR Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins for five draft picks: a 2022 1st-round pick (No. 29), a 2nd-round pick (No. 50) and a 4th-round pick, as well as 4th- and 6th-round picks in the 2023 draft, sources tell ESPN.

As for throwing shit at the wall, you have to have shit to throw in the first place. Can't do that if you trade away all your assets for a 2nd tier player.
It's a first rounder and a 2nd. I just don't believe the 2 1's talk.

For me, I've been a Brian Burns fan since that draft, I think he'd be in that class here. But I'm on this island alone, after being marooned via mutiny. But I also look at it from the standpoint that as a pair, I think Burns and Karlaftis would be pretty much the perfect match of styles.
Then you just keep throwing shit at the wall there and see what happens.
Your crew recognized a stronger leader and understood that you'd have had their asses eating poisonous berries and drinking seawater by the end of the week... [Reply]

So you really are essentially willing to trade Hill for Burns and call that a good move?
I just cannot get there at all.
Burns, in a better situation, is Marcus Davenport, IMO. That's a really nice player and a good guy to have.
It's NOT a guy you gut your draft and then give a giant contract to.
I think a 1 would get it done, but just using the 2 as an example.
Verderame talked about it in an article today, about the Toney trade. The Chiefs had 12 picks but didn't believe they'd have that many open roster spots so they were ok moving for him.

Woudln't the same qualify here?
3rd round comp pick does not in any way come close to a 1st round pick and more.
You're getting a 2nd-tier player for a 1st-tier price tag.

They wouldn't have given up a 3rd without 2+ years of cheap play still to come.
The Toney deal, if anything, demonstrates how the Chiefs aren't just looking at this year in how they use their capital (surplus or otherwise). [Reply]
