Nix played at Auburn from 2019-2021, in total he had five offensive teammates get drafted in the 2020, 2021, 2022, abd 2023 drafts. Mahomes played at TT from 2014-2016, in total he had five offensive teammates get drafted in the 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 drafts. Last edited by Quesadilla Joe; 05-02-2024 at 09:51 PM..

Learning more about Nix since the draft, it does seem like a good pick for Denver. I could see it working out. Disclaimer: I think I believed something similar about Russell Wilson.

That said...I posted that in response to Q Joe's "extremely excited" comment. Not even necessarily to highlight the part about Nix, but about the Broncos' situation in general. You know damn well you'd be having a heyday with KC fans if the roles were reversed and we were hyping that team. Denver has the 4th-lowest SB odds as of today. The Broncos could bring 53 dudes off the street and Q Joe would tell us they were primed for a big season. ![]() And in the midst of all these draft report comparisons, one thing you guys haven't compared is the situation he's walking into. Okay, he's got a decent coach with a reputation for being good with QBs. What else? Does he have a Kelce? Hill? Kareem Hunt? A great OL? A defense? Cap space? Does he have a solid pro to learn behind for a year? Not to be a downer, but are there any other parallels that make you feel highly optimistic here? Nix might be a decent, high-floor prospect, but it's hard to envision him as a guy who's going to carry a weak roster. They're likely going to need to put a lot of talent around him and that might take awhile. Last edited by RaidersOftheCellar; 05-02-2024 at 10:16 PM.. |

Mahomes threw 370 yards, 4 TD’s and 1 INT with Jakeem Grant and DeAndre Washington vs an LSU defense composed of: Jamal Adams (top 10 pick), Tre White (1st rd pick), Deion Jones (2nd rd pick), Jalen Mills (7th rd pick), Davon Godchaux (5th rd pick), Arden Key (3rd rd pick) and Duke Riley (3rd rd pick). Mahomes made awesome plays against an enormous talent disparity |

But on the subject of being disingenuous, what do you call this? Oh, and in that same three-year period, his teams won almost twice the number of games Mahomes' teams won in his three-year- college career. As if you weren't aware that Mahomes had the worst defense in the country and little talent at the skill positions? His win/loss record in college meant less than nothing. |

Not sure where you're getting four players, btw. There were three TT players total drafted during Mahomes' career. A decent tackle and a pair of late round nobodies at RB and WR. Zero in his final season, when he dropped 800 yds on Oklahoma while injured. Nix had 4x as many draft picks around him in his three years. The talent level wasn't the same. You act like he was overmatched in every game. His roster was only overmatched vs a few SEC teams. Last edited by RaidersOftheCellar; 05-02-2024 at 10:26 PM.. |

90 of those 370 passing yards, and one of his TD passes, came in the fourth quarter, which started with LSU up 42-20. (I'm only trying to hold Mahomes to the same standard that you're holding Bo Nix to.) |

If I counted the 2018 and 2023 drafts from TT and Auburn, Mahomes and Bo would’ve both had 5 offensive players drafted. |
