Even the Texans didn't really want Watson; they wanted Mahomes. That being said, I think the Chiefs stand pat (pun intended) and hope Watson falls to later in the first. When he doesn't, they pick someone else. Fortunately, there were enough useful idiots for the Chiefs do play this perfectly. Huge props to Dorsey and the staff.

How do those people still have jobs? Jesus.

Because it’s hard to compare college production to the pro level. Brady went in the 6th, Jamarcus Russell went #1. Tim Tebow. Johnny Manziel. Rick Mirer at #2 after Drew Bledsoe went #1. Ryan Leaf went #2 after Peyton Manning went #1. It’s hard to measure intangibles, position changes, muscle addition, etc,.

Watson is the better QB between him and Mitch. He would have thrived under Reid with this offense, just not to the same extent that Mahomes has.

"couldn't read defenses thus relying on his athletic gifts"

Gee, I would have never guessed. They only averaged 43 ppg.

Whatever

Watson would have been Reid’s McNabb. Mahomes is Reid’s Brett Favre

I don’t think anyone would be talking about Mahomes now if he had went to Buffalo. I don’t know if even he could save that franchise. I don’t know if I could name 3 players from that team. I could name some receivers that have been busts so far and that QB that tries to challenge Mahomes on social media and gets made fun of

Why didn’t the Browns or Jags take a QB in the 1st that year??

Impossible

He wouldn’t win MVP up there but he’d still have more success than an other Bills QB up there since 1999

The big takeaway for me is that the pundits don't know ****-all. Most of the scouts are just guessing, and NFL GM's don't know shit either, really, when it comes to QB.

Mental processing is the most important factor, and there's no way to see that the way college football is played now.

I do think you can tell in a kid's make-up if he's a film rat. If he's not, you have no chance.

Mahomes' ungodly arm talent is an unteachable thing, and his overall athletic ability is high, but it's his brain that should be truly terrifying to the rest of the NFL.

The fact that Trubisky went first tells me nobody knows what the **** they're doing. Watson? He's got heart. His weak arm will be a problem. I don't see him being dominant. I see an Alex Smith type ceiling there. Despite the general consensus of the board, that's an above average NFL starter, but he's not winning multiple Super Bowls. Trubisky I still don't know what he'll be; supposedly he was the most NFL-ready, but that appears to not be the case.

I've never bought that argument. His talent is transcendent. Once a team recognized what it had on it's hands, even the most inept organizations would have moved mountains to take full advantage. Obviously, some teams would be more successful than others but no matter where Mahomes landed, his talent and playmaking ability would still be rocking the league.

Because they're ****ing morons, that's why.

That's what's so great about the 2017 class. It was supposed to be a huge letdown. Some people thought it could be as bad as 2013. And it could end up being the best class since 2014 when all is said and done.

It currently blows 2018 out of the ****ing water, and that was TEH GREATEST QB CLASS EVAR

With that line, coaching and weapons? No ****ing way.

The ONLY thing Mitch has going for him is Nagy IMO.

Perfect coach for their situation. Still - Chicago fans believe their only weakness is at K and TE, and thus bound for a SB, but I think they regress this season and will be at best a wild card team.

I think people are really sleeping on the Packers and the Lions are not awful in that division either. Their schedule isn't easy.
