If we're going to take one at 27 I hope it's Mahomes.He seems to have a higher ceiling with a great arm.

That's what I thought initially but after some thought and consideration all that talent doesn't mean shit. Most great qbs are middle of the pack physically but leaps and bounds ahead mentally (atleast in thier scheme understanding). The deck is stacked against mahomes in almost every way. I hope a clevland or someone bites and allows one of these other guys fall to us.

Like Alex and all those gigabytes? Favre did not even know what nickel defense was until a couple years in the pros. He was pretty dumb. He was also pretty good...... |

He might be book smart, which leads to an ability to grasp concepts, but he isn't field smart. |

Don't be obtuse. My devil's advocate position is to point out that "mental strength" in a qb can be diverse and overrated. You could have a guy who has every player's responsibility memorized, can read defenses pre-snap, memorize verbiage of 700 plays but then..... shits down his leg at the first sign of pressure and throws all that mental edge out the window. Decision making may be related to the mental game, but there is something to be said about trusting your teammates, believing you can make plays and having the nuts to stand in there and deal. |

I just don't see what the difference between Mahomes and Bray is in terms of talent. I get that Mahomes had much better stats but that's only because he was in an air raid offense versus the worst defensive conference in college football whereas Bray played in the SEC.

you do understand that the big 12 has the best offenses which make the defenses look bad stat wise. The big 12 defenses are very good. This whole narrative you're trying to push is stupid
