Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 176 Draft Day
What, Kansas Chief?
But why? Wait, Kansas Chief, what?
The whole audience was stunned.

The 2017 NFL Draft has just begun, is it so exciting?
A second ago, the Cleveland Browns did not make any mistakes and chose Garrett, the undisputed strongest player in this year's defense. It was rare that they did not pursue gimmicks, but stayed calm and down-to-earth to strengthen the team according to the needs. Finally, some strategies could be seen.

The next second, the usually calm and low-key Kansas City Chiefs unexpectedly broke the deadlock and became the first team to make a move in this year's draft. The balance was instantly broken, and the original plans of the teams starting from the third pick were all disrupted. Everyone needed to get nervous.

--why?
No matter how much I thought about it, I still couldn't come up with any result.

According to pre-game intelligence analysis, the San Francisco 49ers should strengthen their defense and will most likely choose Stanford University defensive end Solomon Thomas.

The Kansas City Chiefs' attention has been on wide receivers and cornerbacks. Cornerback White from Louisiana State University and tight end Howard from the University of Alabama should be their targets. After all, they are the 27th pick and need to see what other teams think.

but now?
In the Baltimore Ravens' war room, Newsom was also stunned and blurted out, "What?"

With surprise and confusion in his eyes, Newsom turned to look at Hubble, "John, is that true? Andy Reid is crazy, and Brett Veitch is crazy with him?"

"Second pick Levi?"

Don't understand, don't understand.

Newsom knows that Levi is an excellent player, without a doubt; but overall, around the 10th pick is the most appropriate and suitable position:

If the Carolina Panthers choose Levi with the eighth pick, Newsom is willing to cheer for them; if the Jacksonville Jaguars choose Levi with the fourth pick, Newsom can only say that they are stupid and have a lot of money; if the Cleveland Browns choose Levi with the first pick, there is no need for any more comments.

And now, the Kansas City Chiefs actually used a trade to get the second pick, which is even more not worth it, because they need to pay an extra price to get this pick, which is equivalent to paying a premium for a running back. In 2016, no one would approve of such a move.

Hubble couldn't help but shudder, but after calming down, a shiver ran from the soles of his feet to his scalp, "Wait, that's not right, they are going to choose a quarterback."

Quarterback?
Newson was stunned. If all the details were connected together, then everything would make sense.

If the Kansas City Chiefs trade up to the second pick, they will be choosing a future cornerstone quarterback for the team, which is worth it. Although this year is a weak year for quarterbacks, a weak year often means that the competition for quarterbacks is not fierce, and they can sign players they are satisfied with at a suitable price.

Newsom and Hubble exchanged glances. As expected, the old man was the most experienced. They were all fooled by Reed.

So, why is it the second place and not the first place?

Newsom responded immediately, "Chicago."

Chicago Bears, third pick, third overall pick.

From the beginning of the rookie training camp, although the Chicago Bears were secretive, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were focusing on examining the quarterback.

Jay-Culter, the Chicago Bears' quarterback, has been with the team since 2008. Cutler is not bad. In fact, he is an above-average quarterback who often performs amazingly. His only problem is:
Drop the chain at the critical moment.

He often used interceptions to help his opponents at critical moments, which became a nightmare that Cutler could never break through in his playoff career.

After last season's slump and nagging injuries, the Chicago Bears and Cutler reached a consensus and officially ended their cooperation contract in March.

Rumor has it that Cutler is considering retirement.

Therefore, the starting quarterback seat has been vacant and is waiting for the chance. The Chicago Bears' attitude is clear. They are ready to choose a rookie quarterback to become the cornerstone of a new era for the Chicago Bears.

As a result, it was intercepted by the Kansas City Chiefs.

Surprise, absolute surprise. This is probably a scene that the entire league could not have imagined.

So, who are the Kansas City Chiefs going to choose, Trubisky or Watson?

In fact, the Kansas City Chiefs' war room is also discussing this matter.

"Trubisky!" "Watson!"

"Watson."

"Trubisky!"

“Trubisky.”

One after another, everyone expressed their opinions and views. Vicchi seemed a little excited and nervous, his brain was working at high speed.

He also didn't expect that the San Francisco 49ers actually agreed to the deal. They used the first and second round picks in 2017, the first round pick in 2018, and the first round pick in 2019 to get San Francisco's second pick this year.

This is a major deal.

Quarterback, the Kansas City Chiefs are finally going to have their own rookie quarterback. How many years has it been since they selected a quarterback in the first round of the draft?
Even though the decision has been made, the adrenaline is still being secreted uncontrollably; but he needs to calm down, because they have entered the countdown and they must submit their list within ten minutes, otherwise they will be too excited and the draft picks they have worked so hard to trade will be wasted, which will become the front-page headlines of major news media tomorrow.

Taking a deep breath, Vicki looked at Reid, "Coach, what do you think?"

Reed folded his hands over his chest, chewed gum, and sat quietly. His thoughtful expression showed that his brain was also in a tug-of-war.

Sense and Sensibility.

In the end, emotion prevailed, "Levi."

Huh!
The entire operations room suddenly fell silent. All discussions quieted down. Everyone looked at Reed as if they had seen a ghost. Their minds were filled with question marks that almost filled the entire space and they were on the verge of exploding at any time.

What did they just hear?
Reid knew he was taking a risk. Using a first-round pick to select a running back is already considered a risk, let alone a top three pick, but he believed in his own judgment and completely overturned all previous plans.

He wanted to take a risk.

Others were surprised because the team had no such plan before. Of course, they still observed the running back, but their focus was always on the quarterback. As a result, Reid threw out a bombshell.

Vecchi was not surprised, but his heart still ached. They had traded for three consecutive years' first-round picks and this year's second-round pick just to choose a running back. It was conceivable that they would become the laughing stock of the entire league.

To put it another way, even if they really wanted to trade for Levi at a premium, they didn't need to find the San Francisco 49ers or trade with the Chicago Bears. They could just complete the draft before the Jacksonville Jaguars.

So, what the hell are they doing wasting a bunch of draft picks and nearly $20 million of their own salary cap?
Taking a deep breath, Veach remained calm, "Coach, we have to choose a quarterback, Trubisky or Watson?"

Reid didn't answer right away, as if he was asleep, deep in thought.

Tick-tock, the countdown time is still flowing.

“Brett…”

"what!"

"Chicago is on the 4th."

"Ok?"

"Chicago Bears manager Ryan Pace is on the fourth line."
