If KC didn't come up to 10 I believe NO takes Mahomes and sits him for a year and trades Brees as KC traded Smith.
But Brees > Smith by a lot so NO wasn't aggressive enough, in the end.
The speculation during the draft was that the New Orleans Saints targeted the big-armed Texas Tech product at No. 11 to be their heir to Drew Brees.
That speculation was confirmed from an odd source on Friday.
Golfer Ryan Palmer was in the Saints' war room on Thursday night, along with fellow golfer Jordan Spieth. Palmer told reporters on Friday the Saints were "really big into Mahomes."
