Would you trade LJ to the Texans/Raiders/Lions for a 1st and 3rd rounder?

[BigRedChief]

King Carl would never make that trade but for the sake of a good conversation lets say its possible.............

We are old. We need fresh legs. We have at least 5-6 spots to fill to make us a contender. Do we step back before we go foward? Do we just do the best with what we got and try to add in as best as we can?

The root point (as I see it) is do you believe we can compete for a division title and or a legitamate Super Bowl run in the next two years?

If you think we are not going to be ready in two years you make the trade.

If you think we are going to be ready in two years don't make the trade.

Hell fucking yes I would.

This offense without LJ would be Raider-like.

Keep him and build around him through FA and the draft. IMO the Chiefs are only a LT and WR away from being Top 10 again.

I was only addressing the offense. Of course we need a DT.

MAKE THE TRADE!!

Runningbacks who get the ball 400+times a year are a dying breeed

If Larry would ever take those damn diapers off then maybe he would be able to block better

And those grow on trees? The draft is the safest place to get a stud DT. Free agent DT almost always don't work out.

While losing your line?

Yep, just like Ryan Sims.

Never said the Chiefs shouldn't draft one. I just wouldnt trade away our entire offense for one.

Thats on DV, King Carl and Bunting's word. This has been discussed several times. I'm sure a thread search would find it. The end results were that FA DT bomb more than they hit and DT's taken in the top 15 hit good about 70% of the time.

I wouldn't make the trade with the Raiders just on general principle. But I would make it with the other teams.

This team is going to need some major work and by the time it's anywhere near ready LJ will be a FA and signing with an east coast team. Trading him now will give us draft picks to work with and eliminate the franchise tag/poutfest I see looming with LJ.

In no particular order over the next few years we're going to need: DT, CB, LB, OL, WR, QB. If we can get the OL first then Bennett/Holmes/draftee will do fine. LJ draft picks would give us the bullets to get the OL.
