Andy Reid and CSP both think he's worth a 1st rounder plus. I'll have to go with them over a poster on the net who thinks otherwise.

CSP said he was impressed in his workouts, so if he felt he could step in after Drew retires and lead this team then I would be good with the pick. I'd rather have a top QB waiting in the wings than scrambling for a QB when Drew calls it quits which could be anytime.

I think you ought to review the history of QBs taken in the first round. Odds are Payton and Reid are wrong. Many of those disappointments were far greater "locks" than Mahomes.

They're all tossups, im just saying if CSP liked the kid and thought he'd be a good heir to Drew i wouldnt have had a problem with the pick. I'd rather have a top prospect waiting than a 3rd round project for when the day comes.

22/32 teams' projected starters or qbs will take over midseason taken in the top 36 picks. LOL

ETA: 4 QBs worth a shite taken after that point starting in the league

Wilson: AMAZING
Cousins: Middle of the Pack
Dalton: Middle of the Pack
Dak: One year so far so jury is still out


The likelihood of us getting one after that isn't high at all. Mahomes has an absolutely ridiculous ceiling and just went to one of the best QB Gurus ever. I'm sure he would've done great here as well. Father was a pro athlete and the only knocks on him are things that are fixable. Go check out Rodgers' mechanics at Cal and they were just as horrific. The intangibles and arm talent are certainly worth the selection. No other QB in this draft can touch that ceiling.
