The fanbase's lust for a round 1 qb selection has blinded many to what is 1st round talent. Mahomes gives off a cool, macho vibe - the Alex Smith antithesis. I get why some are enamored with him.
The Chiefs will easily get a pass from the fanbase if they select a qbotf at 27. Moving up to get one at a prohibitive cost? Not Mahomes, and it is tough justifying the same for any/all in this class.
Watson/Trubisky would be better fits and one could argue are more worth moving up for.
PLUS- Watson filmed a series of Papa John commercials at Superbowl time, so he has already been annointed the next great thing by the NFL powers that be! Go get him Dorsey! End the Chiefs drought of playing in the Papa John....errr....Superbowl!

Nailed it. If this were a good QB class, Mahomes would not be near the top. Dude has a strong arm, no doubt, but he is very raw.
I wouldn't make any drastic moves to get any of these guys in the 1st round. If one is there when I'm picking in the 2nd, I might consider it. Just my opinion...
