[QUOTE='Phins & 'Canes]Well the main problem is that with a 2nd round pick this year, we know it would be the # 45 pick or whatever it is. But we have no idea where that 2nd round pick will be next year. If the Chiefs still bring their offense next year and the D gets better with their additions, you have to think they're better than the 7-9 team they were this year. And if that's the case, the value of that 2nd goes down in 2006. If they're a playoff team in 2005, that 2nd starts to look more like a high 3rd round pick. That's why we'd prefer the known quantity this year at # 45. So the Dolphins worst case scenario is that the Chiefs become a good playoff team and for CB Patrick Surtain, we get a 4th round pick and another pick that looks like a high 3rd.
If Saban can live with that (and it does clear about 5-6 mil for us right?) then I guess he does it and trys to get the best player in the 4th round this year that he can. We'll see![/QUOTE]Or, the Chiefs could collapse this year and we could be picking as high as #33. It is a gamble, but it could work in our favor.
