You mean you don't think it's genius that Payton tricked an NFC team into giving one of his AFC competitors draft capital?!

Like, as a Chiefs fan, I'm not even remotely worried about Nix at all. It doesn't concern me one bit because it's just not there. It's much more daunting to have Herbert in the division. After watching Nix's film, and reading up on him, yeah, I'm not seeing it.

They did think about moving up for Bo after Atlanta drafted Penix. Thankfully, George Paton read the draft extremely well. He knew the Vikings liked McCarthy, the Bears wouldn’t move off Odunze, the Jets didn’t want to drop far away from the top tackles, and the Raiders were more of a Penix team than a Bo team.
Things got really tense in the war room after the Penix pick, according to Klis:
Man your takes and spin on things is ridiculous.
1. If Nix is the QB Payton thinks he is then giving up additional picks. He's not so the "saving picks" logic fails.
2. He didn't read the draft well. No one was jumping ahead of them for Nix. He took Nix as a panic move more than anything else.
