The Build Around Patrick Mahomes Game

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Alright, I want to try something here with you guys. This should spark some good conversation about a critical question that almost every NFL team must ask itself these days -- how are we going to build around our young developing QB? This concept is simply for fun, just to test how you might build a team in today's league.

Here is how it works. You start with Patrick Mahomes as your lone starter on the roster and you get $50 million in cap space to spend elsewhere on the other 21 starting positions.

Each position will have 4 players as options who you can select to add to your team, with each having a different price value based on their ability. If a player is marked as #1, he is worth $4M. If a player is marked as #2, he is worth $3M. If a player is marked as #3, he is worth $2M. Lastly, if a player is marked as #4, he is worth $1M. You can only take one player from each position.
