I still thought it was BS (sorry Pugs), but the moment the Chiefs traded up I knew who they were picking (the Denver hosts were gobsmacked by the trade. They had no idea who the Chiefs were targeting. One asked why they would replace a Top 10 QB in Alex Smith with someone who had his same skillet - Watson). The other host, however, said, "I don't think Andy wants another Smith, I think he wants his Brett Favre"). That host was right. I remember soaking in their shock of it all - because it finally felt like we were in the game.

That was Gruden. Both Gruden and Sean Payton thought of Mahomes as the next Favre before the draft.
