    I have never understood the Ryan hype.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

      Yep. No finish, No edge, despite the “Matty ice designation still, Rodgers in his fading years might look like peak Ryan, but with a little more moxie.

            Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach sees striking similarities between the Chiefs’ No. 32 pick and Andy Reid’s most memorable running back.


            In the time leading up to the draft, Veach said the Chiefs received calls from teams asking if the Chiefs were interested in trading up. As soon as Green Bay traded up to draft quarterback Jordan Love at No. 26, the phones went silent. The GM was okay with that, keeping the Chiefs tracking with their board.

              Nice writeup of Love basically from hometown to college:

                I keep scratching my head over this. It's backwards somehow. Other teams asking Chefs if they want to trade up? Why? Why would those go silent after Love was selected. Chefs didn't want to move up to get Love, right? Did they want to move up for anyone? And why would Love selection affect that. I'm missing something here. Maybe I didn't read this thread carefully? Help me out...

                  If you draft someone in the 1st round you can get an extra year of control of the player.
                  But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                    OK. I know that. Weren't the Chefs the last pick in round 1?

                    I checked: they were #32 as you'd expect.

                    OK, so OTHER teams must have been contacting the Chefs to trade up to #32 to get some Love. I get it now...

                      I completely misread what you wrote and went and read the article. Why would the Chiefs specifically be thought of as a team who would trade up? What does Love have to do with teams asking KC to trade up who already has their starting QB for the next 10 years on their roster?

                        The way it was worded was confusing. Had to be other teams wanting that #32 spot from the Chefs to draft Love. Once Packers picked him, the calls stop, right?

                          That sentence in the link is horribly worded. Looks like people were calling the Chiefs to trade up to #32 but sounds like teams were asking the Chiefs if they wanted to move up from #32.

                                So what you're saying is that they need to use a fourth rounder to trade up into the first for a real writer. I wonder if they're taking calls...
