Chiefs Frank Clark to KC! - Page 20

Sources: The #Seahawks and #Chiefs are deep in talks on a trade to send star Frank Clark to KC. The compensation would include a 1st rounder, a 2020 2nd rounder and a swap of mid-rounders. To complete it, the franchise tagged player and Chiefs must hammer out a deal.

I feel like half the people in this thread are just mad because their Thursday was ruined.

Dude.

We're going to fucking wreck worlds.

I have yet to see Veach pull off a trade of that caliber.

Veach is the one who found Mahomes and pushed him on everyone. He is literally the MAIN reason we have him.

I have no idea how you could have seen Veach pull of a trade of that caliber at this point considering a trade of that caliber was basically like a once every 30 year kind of deal.

I will say that this trade is going to be the make or break move of his GM tenure in KC though.

You would think we just drafted Von Miller or something.

I'll probably feel better about this trade after the draft

If you think Clowney is a better player you don't watch the games and just know Clowneys name cause Clarks better than him.

BTW, now we'll be flooded with articles concerning Frank Clark's mom being a crack whore in South Central LA

We got a better player than anyone we could have gotten (most likely) at #29. Some people on here are placing way too much value on a late 1st round pick (essentially it’s a high 2nd). We really only gave up the worst of our 2nds next year for a high end pass rusher. This is a much better deal in retrospect.

Swapping out Ford and his comp pick and the 29th pick for a young proven player seems like a good move to me. Especially when all I’ve heard from the draftniks was there was nobody worth a 1st rounder after pick 16.

We needed more immediate talent on defense. Doesn't seem like Veach felt we were going to acquire that in the draft. The guy said the team is in win-now mode and this move speaks to that. I don't love the compensation but it's not that far off. If we had given up the 49ers 2020 2nd, I'd feel a lot worse.

And as Pugs points out - this should portend good things for Hill as I have some real difficulty thinking Clark Hunt would give the okay for this trade if Hill were on his way out.

We just got a lot closer to winning the Super Bowl next year.

This changes the entire dynamic of our defense.

Don't sleep on nnadi either. Had a hell of a rookie year as a 1 tech.
