Kansas City Chiefs: Potential Alex Smith landing spots

Kansas City Chiefs: Alex Smith’s Next Team
#2: Cleveland Browns
The hiring of John Dorsey in Cleveland changes everything here. Dorsey has worked with Alex Smith before, and with good results. In the same year the Kansas City Chiefs had the #1 overall pick in the draft, Dorsey acquired Smith from San Francisco and used that first pick on an offensive tackle. Could history repeat itself?
Well, I won’t go that far. I doubt the Browns are going to draft an offensive tackle with their top pick. However, using that pick on a quarterback and then trading for a veteran to help groom that pick would make some sense. Cleveland certainly does have the trade ammunition to put together just about any kind of a deal you could think of.
Just how much would John Dorsey give up for Alex Smith? Well, if history is any indication it is a pair of second round picks. However, I don’t think that will be the case here. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Browns get a little creative with a trade here (three-way option?). No matter how it works out though, the Chiefs should get a nice return.
