You mean you don't think it's genius that Payton tricked an NFC team into giving one of his AFC competitors draft capital?!

Like, as a Chiefs fan, I'm not even remotely worried about Nix at all. It doesn't concern me one bit because it's just not there. It's much more daunting to have Herbert in the division. After watching Nix's film, and reading up on him, yeah, I'm not seeing it.

1. If Nix is the QB Payton thinks he is then giving up additional picks. He's not so the "saving picks" logic fails. 2. He didn't read the draft well. No one was jumping ahead of them for Nix. He took Nix as a panic move more than anything else. |

I think he's saying Nix was the guy he wanted, relative to his draft position, that was attainable for Denver and fit what he wants to do at QB. Clearly, no one is making comps between Mahomes and Nix, cause that would just be really ****ing stupid. |

[QUOTE=RunKC;17510285]Knowmo trying to claim Bo Nix has a high ceiling is hilarious. Nobody but him thinks that.
You’ll find that’s a ongoing theme in this thread. |

Yeah, I think Warren Sharp misunderstood what Payton's point was. Maybe on purpose, to create yet another bit of clickbait for people to get excited about. |

Raiders played the draft better than the desperate teams. Was never a fan of Nix or McCarthy, especially that high. Everyone knew since the combine that the Broncos and Vikings were desperate for a QB bc Cousins and Russ were out.
If the Raiders truly wanted Nix they could have made a trade up 2 spots to the Jets bc they knew their LT would still be there at 13 anyway. Raiders didn’t view these QB’s like Denver did. Whether that hurts them we’ll see, but I think they were right to not draft a QB out of desperation. |

I really think ATL taking Penix threw a massive monkey wrench in everyone else's plans. Warner said that of the top 5 QBs in the draft he liked Penix's tape better than all but Caleb's.
If ATL takes anyone else, DEN probably ends up having to decide whether to take either Penix/Nix, and LVR ends up with the other one. Might've been interesting to see if Payton wanted Penix or Nix more. |

But if Bo Nix is 'the guy you really wanted' - well that's a different problem entirely. A bad plan executed well is still a bad plan. |

I viewed Nix as the 2nd best QB in this draft behind Williams. As a Chiefs fan, I sincerely hope he's the worst.
