This isn't Haterade

Dr-No needs to do some fact checking. I am in no way saying that Bellicheat isn't a smart man, a genius coach, or possibly the only human being alive with a working heart of stone (medical records prove this). What Bellichick has done in his career is going to stand through the ages, and I'd hate to sit at the poker table with him. What I'm saying is that I have never seen a trade gift-wrapped like this since Gasol went to the Lakers. Cassel will struggle in KC because he probably won't spend a lot of time on his feet But if you're unloading a guy who has high stock, you get something equal to the value of that high stock. The 34th pick is not where this guy's stock was, especially with Vrabel thrown in there. Was this a fleecing by the Chiefs? Not by a long shot. But you would need six strippers with PhDs granted by Gregg Easterbrook himself all with statistical and empirical, pertaining to both the NFL season and the upcoming draft, to convince me that Bellichick didn't give his buddy in KC a gift.
