Drafting on potential is more likely to happen when there is a need for a QB on a team but not many good prospects to choose from.

Darnold and Rosen are the exceptions given that they were in the QB class that saw Mayfield and Allen also go high.



A team’s history of developing QBs also plays into it I am sure. Trubinsky busted in Chicago but I bet Mahomes, the next QB off the board, would have busted there too because they wouldn’t have had a clue on how to use him.

Mahomes


Coming from an Air Raid offense in college He went to a great situation. The Chiefs had won their division in 2016, and they won the division again his rookie season as the backup which allowed him to not get rushed into starting. His first and only start his rookie season was the last game of the season when the chiefs were resting players due game’s outcome not changing playing in 1st week of play offs.

After the playoffs they traded Smith away by end of January and gave Mahomes the reigns before the NFL season was even officially over.
