I think it was more important to get Mahomes than constantly being on the prowl for whatever looks most promising at the moment. And those highest on him also have a track record of simply being glad Alex may soon be gone. I'm happy with the potential, not simply that he'll be better than Alex, but he'll be better than a lot of players we could have ended up with instead. I'm more concerned with the right pick, than 'a' pick at the 'right' position. |

And let me guess. When you first learned of Mahomes, you thought, "I hope the Chiefs take him because of that potential!" You didn't think for one second that trading up in the first by 20+ spots would be reaching or a case of "this looks the most promising at the moment!" Right? You were 100% on board before the Chiefs drafted him! Somebody suggesting that strategy before the draft wouldn't have caused you to roll your eyes and go, "just another dumb impatient drafturbator desperate for a 1st round QB!" Right? Because I don't believe that for one ****ing bit. |

Might wanna temper some expectations in Mahomes first action at tech he looked lost and was 2 for 5 with a pic on his first series. That pic gave us an epic gif. This coming from tech fan that will be watching to follow the excitement that is Mahomes. Well **** it I m too new to be able to post a gif.

After making that assessment, I resigned us to missing out on him and switched my analysis to Watson. I thought he was feasible, but found it ironic, because I thought and still think he's going to be very Alex-like. That's good enough for me, if he's surrounded by a decent team. And I repeatedly said, IF the Chiefs selected Watson it would be the ultimate stamp of Reid and Dorsey's seal of approval on Alex's style of play. I gave Trubisky no thought. I didn't expect to go so high and thought he was a bad choice even if we traded back a little. Don't expect much of him, less now that he's with the dysnfunctional Bears under Fox. The franchise pulling the trigger on the trade WAS a surprise. But find me a person outside the inner circle of the Chiefs for whom it wasn't. I wholeheartedly applauded the value of the pick, the decisiveness of the decision, the edging out of competing franchises, just about EVERYTHING about the pick itself. If I had ANY prior notice that such a maneuver was feasible, I would have been completely on board. But neither I nor anyone foresaw it. But I look at Mahomes as a solid, perhaps spectacular, investment for the NEXT 15 years, not tomorrow, or next week. Shortly after the draft, when everyone was in 'we gotta QB!!!' delirium, I switched my focus on maintaining a quality franchise for him to play with. His time will come. I'm in no hurry. I'm more concerned with a longterm level of competitiveness than a preseason, or wasted regular season, boner. Many itching for Mahomes on the field feel that anything else is a total waste of time. I don't. |

Nah. Reuben Foster went 31 and ILB was our most glaring need. Nobody cares. We got Mahomes.

- and as I type, Trubisky throws his first NFL to reclamation project Victor Cruz.

Reerun? Coogs? You're gonna let THOSE guys be the spokesmen for the drafturbators? Because that's about it. Just TALKING about the possibility of Mahomes starting doesn't mean people actually want it, for crying out loud. Also, one more thing... Quote:

The other part I addressed when I made the concluding remark that some think anything that isn't involving Mahomes is a waste of time [or treading water, or waiting around, or whatever you want to call it when you're not doing anything important or productive]. It's not just about whether you want him to start right away. It's also about respecting the present roster and what they're trying to accomplish. |

I was the first person on CP to identify him and said that the Chiefs should do whatever it took to get him.
I'm good with waiting until mid-2018 for him to start, or even later. Drafting Mahomes has never been about 2017. It's been about 2023-2030. QB's don't hit their "Prime" until they're generally 27-28 years old and Mahomes is only 21. |
