Everyone in here is arguing with the benefit of hindsight. People would have gone (were going?) nuts at the thought of drafting Mahomes at the time. You’re acting like they passed on him today.

Absolutely not.



Sean Payton said he had Mahommes graded higher than any other QB/player in the history of the draft.



Sean Payton also said he would of drafted Mahommes if he was there at our pick.

Knowing Drew Brees situation.

Sean Payton made one of the biggest whiffs in the history of the NFL draft.


Easy trade to move up one spot.


Easy.


He sat there and did nothing.

1. There were several posters including myself included, who were behind drafting Mahomes. We were a small minority but we recognized the potential of Mahomes back then.

2. It's hilarious that these same posters commenting today, saying we should have drafted Mahomes or even traded up to secure him are the same posters who said Mahomes would be a bust because he came from Texas Tech or they said the team would be fine with Brees until he was 45.

3. And yes, people were losing their minds at every article posted that came out back then that even mentioned Payton pre draft workouts or his infatuation with Mahomes.
