Chiefs Trading for Frank Clark Warrants Scrutiny, Top Corner Could Fall Out of First Round

Two days to go …

1. The Frank Clark trade, from a football perspective, makes plenty of sense for Kansas City. The Chiefs packaged the 29th and 92nd picks this year, and the lesser of their second-rounders next year (they got one from the Niners for Dee Ford), for Clark and the 84th pick. They gave him a deal very similar to DeMarcus Lawrence’s. And if he’s the player a lot of evaluators regard him to be—a top-five edge player in the league—then this represents a big upgrade over Ford for what amounts to, essentially, a first-round pick.
