I definitely think it's possible for the Chiefs to make a serious run next year if they have a good offseason (I'm always optimistic) and I think ANY NFL team can make a serious run two years from now (including the Texans/Raiders/Lions), but I think I'd still make the trade.

I'd be a little hesitant to make it with the Raiders because we'd have to face a motivated LJ twice per year, but I'd probably do it with the other two. I'd definitely make the trade if it was for two 1sts or if it were for this years 1st and 2nd (which is roughly the same value).

I'd make the trade because RBs don't typically have a long shelf life (and it looks like we are going to ride LJ hard if we keep him) and because I'd love to have an early 1st round shot at a Roaf or Sapp-like lineman or possibly a QB. I say this without really having much of a clue about what kind of talent will be available in the upcoming draft.
