La Canfora: Deal for Alex Smith "effectively complete"

[CalamityX11]

only a 4th rd pick?

oh thats mud.... mud filled with crap!

Crap...was hoping for a 3rd this year or even next year. If we get a 4th this year for Smith we better be making a lot of trades to move up this year, gather high picks for next year, or package them for a veteran because we don't have the roster space for 9 or more players in the 4th round or later.

gives us ammunition to move up in the 2nd or 3rd to grab someone. hoping eifert drops to the mid 2nd.

Unfortunately I think Eifert will be the 1st TE off the board before we pick in the 1st round.

First pick in the 4th is pretty much another 3rd. We're definetly not getting their 3rd.

If the deal is for a KC early 4th..its a total push for us and great deal for them. If we cut him, we will probably get a end of 3rd in Compensation in 2014. So on current value terms a late 4th. That is a total push. At least they should get the KC 3rd and real value is more like a KC #34 at least...game manager or not, and that is from a Non Alex fan boy. Deal him to Az or KC ..but at a better price than what either of them have offered so far...of course that means they have to be willing to part with more assets and thats the $64 question.

I'm going to go ahead and say no way. Rarely do I go so strongly against credible people in the media but I would fall off my chair onto the floor if they got even a 3rd for him. I thought maybe a conditonal 4th at the very best a couple weeks ago. (I think I said a 6th that could turn into a 4th at the very most).

Even if you allow me to stretch my expectations to out of this world territory, I would say it has to be a conditional 2nd or 3rd where they would only receive that pick if he plays a high volume of snaps and takes them deep into the playoffs or Super Bowl, though?

Holy fucking shit. Cue the Homer floor spin for 30 minutes straight.

Glazer is not mentioning which round. How did he get the scoop but Rapoport knows which round? I call

Word is their second round pick this year and in 2014. Chiefs expected to sign Alex to an extension. They are all in.

WOW WOW WOW WOW

Baalke is a GOD.

 

[SRPnVA]

Wow if it's for a second rounder!!!

 

[HammerDown]

Wait, a 2nd round in '14 too?! That's insanity.

Baalke is God. Welcome to the party.

 

[Rvnight18]

Cream in my pants!!!!

 

[ChrisPozz]

That's almost as insane as the Redskins giving up a 3rd and a 4th (the following year) for Brandon Lloyd. I still don't believe it. There HAS to be a conditional clause in there somewhere? I just can't believe it.

 

[SRPnVA]

Alex really helped by being a pro the whole time. Hope he has success with Andy.

 

[HammerDown]

I think the 2014 2nd rounder is going to temper the enthusiasm of Chiefs fans everywhere. They gave up too much and after doing so, I predict they pay him too much in the extension.
