Hardcore Chiefs fans are waking up this morning with a bad hangover I would assume. Why? Celebrating a little risk blockbuster trade that sent them Cassel and Vrabel, for the 34th pick in the draft. After 2 seasons in which the Chiefs had a total of 6 wins, this is exciting news. Obtaining Cassel is great. But when you also throw in that Chiefs still have the number 3 pick in the draft, it gets even better. Considering they play in a very weak AFC West, this makes them a contender for the playoffs literally overnight. Irony also plays a big role in this story. If the Chiefs hadn't have hurt Brady in week 1 of last year, Cassel wouldn't have got the chance to start and put up the immpressive numbers he had, and wouldn't be headed to Arrowhead. In that crazy league known as the NFL. There are no  guarantees that the Chiefs will be a contender next year, But they have put themselves in a great posistion to. So break out the Beer and Brawts Chiefs fans. Your team just might be back.

I thought the Patriots would get a future first round pick from someone for Cassel, but boy, was I wrong. From a value standpoint, I think KC got the better of the deal, hands down. Because Cassel got better as the season went on, I believe his stats aren't a fluke, despite playing an easy schedule. He dealt with adversity all season long and rose to the challenge often. I think the Chiefs solved their QB problem for the next several years.
