(R3)#91 Dorsey Packaged some other picks to take Hunt at #86
2018 R1 - Big deal! The only way this backfires if the Chiefs end up with a top 3-5 pick next year, which with the talent on this roster is highly unlikely. Even then it is win win in as much as Mahomes will be ahead of the 2018 QBs in terms of development. And I personally feel next years Draft class is being way over hyped at this stage.
Chiefs ended up with a pick in each round (except the 7th) and moved up 17 spaces to get their QB of the future. No way is this anything like the RG3 trade. I think it was smart business.

The thing that makes me most happy on this deal is the
conviction placed on making it. Our HC GM and owner are in agreement and they didn't just sit back and wait for a player to drop. They went after the guy they most believe in. That goes a long ways to make a guy build confidence. Also as a fan it's fun FUN to see your team make such a dynamic move while other teams are spinning on their thumbs. Dorsey is great as our GM he is looking at the big picture. To build a dynasty and not with a "5year plan" that takes 40 years to implement.
We are better off for it for the long haul and that's what it is going take to build championship football franchise.
