For that reason alone, I’m convinced the draftubators of CP would be better than some NFL teams. |

I assume you're relishing that Mayfield can't get out of his way because he's an indignant tool in Cleveland where QBs are DOA |

Yeah. Enjoy seeing Mayfield flop. But gotta give him credit for the decision to leave Tech. We all figured he would disappear at a blue blood school like Oklahoma. He carved out a heck of a college career for himself and got paid huge money as the #1 draft pick. That’s very impressive. He also dodged the Mahomes bullet at Tech. I still think if Baker stayed at Tech, he would have ended up on the bench behind Mahomes.

Mahomes will win MVP and SB MVP this year! He needs to be on this list!
Only ten players have won the Super Bowl and MVP in the same season, Bart Starr in 1966, Terry Bradshaw in 1978, Mark Moseley in 1982, Lawrence Taylor in 1986, Joe Montana in 1989, Emmitt Smith in 1993, Steve Young in 1994, Brett Favre in 1996 Terrell Davis in 1998 and Kurt Warner in 1999. |

I remember going out to dinner the night before the draft & I was wearing my Chiefs hoodie. A guy asked me who I wanted in the draft? I replied “Mahomes the QB from TT”. He said that’s who he wanted too. I think Mahomes was wanted by 75% of the fan base. |

I admit I didn't expect him at all and figured if available we'd get Watson. But I was happy as hell regardless.
My certainty that he would flourish here was solidified by a few Donk fans I know who laughed at the pick and said stupid shit like "system QB, will fail in the NFL, no TT QB's ever succeed, should have gotten a DB because you have Alex who is really good". That's when I knew he was the right man for KC. I love talking to those guys now, who basically just have to quietly shake their heads no when I ask if they still think it was a bad call to draft him and replace Smith...heh... |

Those of us on the forum that really liked Mahomes STILL thought he was going to go early 20s at worst. If most of us (admittedly not all) were running the draft, we'd have seen him go 12 to the Saints and ended up doing what the Texans did and moved up for Watson. It would've caught us flat-footed. I think I was targeting around 18 as the landing spot we'd have to get to to snag him - I would've missed out on him. Where the Chiefs deserve a TON of credit is having a perfect feel for that draft and going up exactly as high as they needed to go to get their guy. It really was a masterstroke by the front office as a whole. Veach did a fantastic job working with the agents to keep their interest largely under wraps and Dorsey did incredible work spying out the draft and getting where he needed to be to make the pick. This wasn't drafting Brady in the 6th and stumbling into a HoFer through blind, dumb luck. This was just perfect handling of the scouting and drafting process to get a guy that has fundamentally altered the trajectory of the franchise. Just spectacular stuff. |
