I'm no expert on mechanics. I look at the end result....does the ball get where it needs to go? If the answer to that is yes then the next question is ..how often? Mahomes is +60% in his collegiate career. Therefore, to me....his mechanics, though important, don't hurt him enough to outweigh his positives.
No matter how much he works on it. He will always default to bad mechanics in tight situations. But if the ball gets where it needs to go then ultimately, who cares. Nobody is going to dissect his mechanics on a game winning td that clinches a playoff berth or division title.
Mahomes and Watson both have that x-factor and it's well worth gambling on in the first round of this draft class, especially Mahomes with his arm.
