Either way, you are definitely right. Drafting solely winners" in college rarely is a good idea. Draft players who have a pedigree of success and skill at their position.
Even though he was a sub .500 QB in college, Mahomes put up points. Tons of points. Record breaking amount of points. And nobody gave a shit because his defense was so shitty. So in my book, he's always been a winner anyway. He can't play defense.

Tech's offense had some NFL caliber players on it, i think there about 6 from that squad that are either still in the NFL or had short NFL careers. Nothing really worth noting though. But like you said Defense was pure dog shit. The game that really made folks sit up and take notice was the bowl game of Tech vs LSU. Mahomes made the game interesting with one amazing play after another, While Leonard Fournette was abusing Tech's defense. Mahomes couldn't pull the rabbit out of the hat enough times that game.
