Would you guys be upset if we traded #8
for Larry Johnson? The Chiefs are just BSing I am sure, but if they really wanted to part ways with Larry would it hurt your feelings to give up the #8 pick for him?

I would do it in a second but this has to be BS. No way you trade the #2 RB in the league for the 8th pick in an average draft.

There is just a rumor they want to trade him. Some people feel they would be willing to part with him for the #12 or #16 picks...I'm thinking if that was true they would take #8 straight up...

I actually would not like this deal, after the number of carries he recieved last season and the beating he took, not to mention his attitude problems, I would much rather just get a back like Adrian Peterson, who has potential to be even greater.

But if AD is gone, which I am guessing he will be, then would you be upset? I didn't know he had character concerns. I love his swagger and the way he plays the game. He's one of the most punishing backs in the league.

I would be horrified. RB have such short careers, and LJ has already been run into the ground. That's the reason KC are so reluctant to give him a huge contract.
Would you rather have a great RB for three, maybe four years, at a huge salary, or someone who could be with the team for a decade?
I'd take Landry, Okoye, Peterson or Brown ahead of LJ, without a shadow of a doubt.

After considering his salery, age, and punishment over the years, I would have to keep #8. We are guareentied Landry, Okeye, Brown, Willis, Anderson, and even Quinn.(trade pick and get a lot of value) April 28th is just around the corner.
