I don't know what exactly his NFL comparison is yet. All I know is that I really, really like the kid. He's got so much going for him.
The thing going against him, goddamn it, is the terrible track record of air raid QBs in the NFL. That does scare me. It's early, but right now I'd burn a 3rd on him. Maybe a 2nd. |

If we can't get Kizer...I'm on the Mahomes train.

I'm not worried about the Air Raid offense for this team. Andy has spread principles all over the place and has basically made the spread offense a huge part of his offense to accommodate Alex.
It's set up for him |

What's the best QB in an air raid-esque offense we've seen the past few years?
Case Keenum? |

He's really really raw. Coming from that offense, he's atleast a year away. Maybe 2.
I'd throw a 2nd on him but man, tough sell for me |

Ideal size, canon for an arm, smart, gutsy player. Yes, he needs at least a full year of development (if not 2) but well worth the risk and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of Paxton Lynch, IMO. Draft him in 2017, sit him all year, let him compete in 2018. If all works well, he could take over mid-season 2018 or at the latest, 2019. |

I'm not taking a guy in the first thay could potentially need 2 years before he's ready to play. You're losing 2 years of value on the guy, then only have 3 years before you have to pay him. |

If you develop him and he lands, then you've got a franchise guy for 10-15 years. Thats worth the time investment, unless he goes Full Paxton Lynch out of the gate. Hard to believe the Chiefs reportedly wanted that guy... |

.the problem is, with a rookie qbs contract, you're afforded a huge bonus to build the team around him because he's cheap for 5 years. If they guy isn't gonna play for 2 of the 5, or atleast be the starter, your losing 40% of the value to the rest of the team building. 1 year Id think would be applicable, but 2 years is tough. Then you've got to make a decision to pay him as a franchise qb at some point, and you're not gonna do that after seeing him play 1 full year, so you'd have to do it after 2, or with the 5th year option, 3. I'm not totally against it as you've said, the big reward is a franchise qb. But from a value standpoint, 2 years is tough |

On second thought though, due to the 5th year ootion, if they're gonna take him, do it in the first.

This kid is not Dak Prescott.
Bust. Allergic to the pocket and throws off his back foot too often. Annoying tip-offs to his delivery as well, as he is a "tapper". He is more along the Terrelle Pryor line than a Prescott. |

Having the 5th year option on a guy that's potentially a Franchise QB is worth its weight in gold. But if Dorsey & Reid pass on him, it's all good. Josh Norris has done a good job illustrating how much development Mahomes needs, so getting him in the first might be a real reach. |
