Everyone flamed Beane/Buffalo for making that trade cause you just can't do anything that helps the Chiefs. Doesn't matter how great a deal you think you are getting, you CAN'T ****ing do that deal. It transcends beyond logic. I'm not helping my biggest enemy who keeps making me look dumb.
It was honestly as brash as it was dumb and they got what they deserved last Sunday from X-Man.

I kind of disagree. They ended up going with WR as their 1st pick, but that doesn't mean Worthy was the guy they wanted. If their evaluations say that Worthy was going to go high, but he was likely a bust, then it could have been a choice to try to screw the Chiefs. It didn't work out that way, but you hire your staff to give you the analyses that allow you to make such decisions. If the staff ****ed it up, then deal with your staff.
Furthermore, they did get additional draft capital by trading down twice. If their analysis was that they could get a comparable or better WR by trading down, then the draft capital would be worth it. Finally, if everyone else is refusing to trade with the Chiefs, then it presents the opportunity to take advantage of the Chiefs by asking for more draft capital in return than they might have been able to get from anyone else in such a trade.
