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.

Im reminded of the Vikings trading Diggs for a first rounder and turning that into Justin freaking Jefferson on a rookie contract. Meanwhile Diggs is aging on an expensive contract. The Vikings undoubtedly got the best of that trade.
Perspective people! We got FIVE freaking picks. FIVE! Lets wait and see who Veach turns those picks into. I have confidence a couple of years down the road it will be clear we got the best of the trade.
If they trade away Tyreek for Jameson Williams, Veach should officially be on the hotseat. No way do you take a WR with an injury when you have 2 firsts and 2 seconds in this draft. [Reply]
Didn't even need to trade him. Easily get that trash offer or better next off season from a desperate team in a tag & trade and we get one more year of prime Hill. Fucking trash. [Reply]
Jets trade offer to the Chiefs for Tyreek Hill - that Kansas City would have accepted if the WR opted for NY - did not include a first-round pick, but rather multiple picks that were commensurate to the Dolphins’ offer based on the draft value chart that teams use, per sources.

This is what it boils down to.
Veach bet on himself. If he nails these picks this will all be forgotten. If not then it will come to define Veach's tenure. [Reply]

Would still like to see a QB-desperate, rummy franchise trade up from 31-34 and hand the chiefs in extra 2nd for our third. YUUUUGE haul,...could damn near rebuild the entire defense in the next two years. [Reply]

The only way to salvage this is to trade for a DK Metcalf-type established WR because there is no way in hell that the Chiefs are coming close to replacing Tyreek in the draft.
With all of the holes on defense heading into the draft, now the Chiefs have created a MASSIVE hole on offense.
Tyreek is arguably the second most valuable/important player on the Chiefs roster, behind Mahomes. He's still just 28 years old... you find a way to keep guys like that.
Agreed with you until the bold.
Paying a WR Top 11 QB money - and fully guaranteed in 2 years at that - would be a massive mistake. [Reply]
Dolphins are giving their new WR Tyreek Hill a 4-year, $120 million extension, including $72.2 million guaranteed, per @DrewJRosenhaus. pic.twitter.com/rkSWmAOOMt
It will be interesting to see if this results in a new England style passing attack focused on getting the ball out in <2.5 seconds to totally neuter the pass rush acquisitions of our division rivals. [Reply]
I'll betcha the Dolphins would have thrown in a mid-tier defensive starter of theirs if Veach held firm about it. If you're the Dolphins, what does it matter if you lose Christian Wilkins or some guy like that? You've got the pieces to make your offense run now, and you were always going to be at the mercy of Tua's shit. May as well see what happens if you give him a race car. [Reply]
