Rather have two 3rds or at least given the 2nd pick up vs our 1st. Bailed the Chiefs out. Think they were going to end up trading McDuffie in the long run because of their cap situation.

When compared to other CBs being traded for two 1sts, this is not an overpay. McDuffie isn't Ramsey or Sauce Gardner, but he's right under that level. Two premium picks isn't surprising. It's this year's 5th that annoys me.
Well okay then. Admittedly I don’t know how good McDuffie is. Former all pro? Young.
Hopefully he seriously impacts our secondary. A little bit of an overpay but that’s to be expected I guess.

It's an overpay when the team trading away the player can't afford the contract extension. We should have given up less but its a done deal so ...
IMO, they're mostly done.
McDuffie
Forbes
Darious Williams
Wallace
In addition to suggesting they could trade for an all-pro, Snead in his interview yesterday, suggested that player development could also be where improvement came from. I suspect that refers to Forbes.
I'm betting they draft a CB or two late and that's your reshaping.
He is worse than my wife when it comes to shopping
I would think Williams is gone, cap savings of $7.5 million if he is cut. He seemed to struggle health wise and usually only played due to several other injuries towards the end.
You're assuming their backs were against the wall or something. What determines more than that is the market. If there were other offers - given that he's an all-pro there most certainly were - that's what's going to drive price.It's an overpay when the team trading away the player can't afford the contract extension.

I think you may have too much focus on the round vs. the number of the selection.
The 29th selection is on par with a 2nd round choice in terms of value like the 61st selection is on par with a 3rd round choice.
What the Rams dealt in terms of draft value pretty much amounts to the 21st or 22nd selection in the draft.
Williams is history. 7.5M cap savings.
Maybe. I've always maintained that they may not cut him and if they did it would only be after they got more bodies in the room. So far, they haven't cut him and the Rams typically like to cut players early to give them a chance elsewhere.
I agree that it still could happen.
You don't know what other teams were offering.
I think they have until 5th day of league year to cut him to not get a bonus so we'll find out here soon enough. I wouldn't be surprised to them cutting him and then signing him back for a smaller one year deal later down the road if they don't get enough bodies by camp and no one else signs him.
What a great trade. F them picks - IF you get a great player for the utmost need!
Now I'm hoping for another very good CB in free agency and then getting the best player at #13.
I don't want a rookie CB for a team that wants a Super Bowl this year, so get a FA CB.
I know others say they'll trade down with #13, but NOT if they are really "all-in." Get a stud WR or OL.

tight fisted bastid!!!
I don't get this. Do we really think Snead is deliberately leaving fat on the bone?It's an overpay when the team trading away the player can't afford the contract extension. We should have given up less but its a done deal so ...
