Mahomes reminds me a little of Aaron Rodgers who fell to #24 and took awhile to get his mechanics in order. Rodgers' ability to "flip" passes while off-balance has turned into a real strength, maybe it could for Mahomes too.

:shrug:

He has the highest ceiling of these QBs, without a doubt IMO.

Chances are he'll go tits up but if he doesn't then he could be a real stud.

What i like about him best is his ability to throw the ball from multiple angles without needing a ton of power from his legs also his willingness to keep his eyes up and down the field.

Abilities that elite QB's can really use in the NFL.

But that can't be the norm, he also needs the ability to be consistent with the basics. Mahomes doesn't have that ability yet.

I've said that for years. Front office guys and coaches aren't risking their jobs for the new regime that will inevitably take their place.

Yes, yes he does. Want.

Mahomes will be long gone guys. He has the most private visits of any QB. He's red hot.

Sucks but it is what it is. Kizer is our best shot

I don't think you can judge from pre draft visits... there is a lot of smoke and mirrors and due diligence going on. That being said, I'm sure we have someone we like of the bunch and we have the capital to trade up if we feel the need.

Out of 6 NFL executives polled this week on where they thought Mahomes would be picked, 4 said KC, 2 said Houston.

Can't wait to see which organization is stupid enough to trade up or burn a first on Mahomes.

I'd be okay with it. I'd be okay with trading up a few spots and getting the guy we want, rather than settling for who is left. Weather that be Mahomes, Watson, Trubisky, or Kizer. Get the guy we want.

Wow Tiger getting nervous the Chiefs will draft a QB

It's fear the troll is expressing

I think Tiger is Alex Smith.
or his wife.

Or maybe my brother is his agent. The possibilities...

I cannot fathom being upset by the Chiefs drafting any of the top 4-5 QBs in this draft. I obviously have been on the Mahomes train since the Pittsburgh game, but there is no way I am upset with Watson, Trubisky, Kizer, or even Webb.

When does reality set in for some on here? When is being just a good regular season team enough?

OFFICIALLY sold on Mahomes

I'd be ecstatic that they drafted a QB.....but each one has their flaws....so it would be interesting to see if they could fix them. If I was going to rank the top 5 in the order that I'd want them though.....it'd look like this.

1. Kizer
2. Mahomes
3. Trubisky
4. Webb
5. Watson

Yup.

I would even be excited if they drafted Peterman or Dobbs rd 2 and referenced him as a developmental prospect.

Drafting a QB early and signaling he is the future is all I need.

I'm in this camp.

And I may be alone here, but I am all for moving up to get the one we want (we being Dorsey and Reid). I know it's a deep draft and we have some other needs, but this is almost the perfect situation for us to go QB in the 1st.

Yea, I just want them to draft a ****ing QB in the first two days that they believe can take over in a year or two. I certainly have a preference, but I'll be happy either way.

Nope....**** Peterman and Dobbs in the 2nd is way to early.

He said first 2 days, that counts rd 3 i beleive.

Personally, Watson is my favorite. The kids got heart, there is no quit in him.

But i would just be excited if they make a move for any of the top 5 guys.

If Dorsey thinks highly enough of Peterman or Dobbs to draft that high I'll be on board.

I won't argue with the guy who drafted 3 all pro's and a double digit sack artist in 4 drafts.

Or maybe you're just Ass's blow up doll

That's where I'm at. I trust those guys to do what's best for the team, not necessarily what we as fans think is best.

Webb has been working all year with Jim Zorn to learn WCO concepts and how to call plays and work from the huddle. He could be a day 2 pick with miles of upside.

I fully expect Cleveland to trade up from 33 in order to get 3 total first round picks, and take a QB with the 3rd one. They liked Davis Webb a lot when coaching him at the Senior Bowl, IIRC. They could come away with a first round haul that includes Myles Garrett, O.J. Howard, and Davis Webb if they trade up back into the first round to get that 5th year option.

If the Chiefs want a QB, they need to be safe and trade up a little. Otherwise, they will be getting leapt without question by another team. Not to mention, they have teams ahead of them like Houston and NYG that seem interested in QBs too.

Dorsey should be targeting a trade that puts them in the late teens, maybe 20.

Colts at 15 or Dolphins at 22 are good spots depending on who they want.

Titans at 18 might not be bad either.
That is a 220 point differential though, which would be both of our 3rds.

It also works out close to give them our second, and flip both of our thirds. 83 and 100 from them for 91 and 104 from us.

I don't think that Dorsey is not a big Trade Up guy. I think many GMs think that the cost is almost always too high. Although maybe Dorsey will trade up for a QB when he really wants one.

But does Reid really want one?
Will Dorsey trade up for anyone?

Has Dorsey traded up since he came to KC?(I only remember trading down)

Imo it seems like there are 2 main types of GMs in the NFL.

One is the President/GM type guys who are buyers and sellers. They hire a player personnel guys to run their scouting and player evaluations while they focus on wheeling and dealing and being the President of the team.

The other type is a Scout/GM and they "grew up" in the scouting dept. They believe that quantity is better than quality when it comes to draft picks. They trust that their eye for talent will accumulate more talent in the long run as long as they have enough draft picks.

Dorsey traded up for Conley

Thanks

Well, that was a train wreck. Carry on...

Good call.

No way in hell I'd trade up to the teens for Mahomes.

In most drafts? Sure.

And I love the kid.


But, this draft is going to have FIRST ROUND TALENT IN THE THIRD.

Wanna move up? Use next years second or third.

Peterman is a turd.

This is very true and the reason why the chiefs and Royals flourish here. Hard working honest folks will endure more than most.

You must not be talking about people on CP, because all I see here are people that cry like little bitches every time the Chiefs don't do what they want them to do.

Pretty clear we drafted the right guy. Watson is still learning but Mahomes is also. It's just that Mahomes is miles ahead of him.

Nailed it. LMAO

Watkins looks terrible.

What a fun bump! Will you bump Deberg's thread about Watson next?

Ha. Hahahaha. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Man do I wish we had drafted Watson.

We could have replaced Alex Smith with......a more hyped Alex Smith!!

Is he finally practicing again?

He left that one out last time he was pimping himself

This one has to burn.

I’m glad you aren’t running the Chiefs.

Tiger is the dumbest mother ****er to ever walk this planet.


He makes the bottle-throwing broad look like Sofia Kovalevskaya

GUYS! I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED!

Next season we get to take the training wheels off Patrick Mahomes! His two-year waiting period will be over! The project will be complete!

Man, if he did 5000, 50 TDs and hosting an AFC Championship game (at minimum), I can't ****ing WAIT for the actual Mahomes to reveal himself!

Mahomes is about to have us in the super bowl..
We got a super steal to move up to ten.

The sniveling bitches got what we wanted.

News flash: It ****ing works!

Who would have ****ing thought?!!!

Two year project to be mvp.

He's on track.

Not that it matters much, but the context was I didn’t want to trade the whole 2017 draft (and then some) to move up because that cost is usually way too much.

I did say in the post that if they are going to trade up to get him (which if you’d click on my sig, you’d see a slew of my thoughts on wanting to move up to top ten for Mahomes using future picks kinda like we you know, we did) I want them to use picks from a future draft.

I even clarified that I want them to move up to get him.

ROFL

AWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

(Deep breath)WHOAhahahahahahahahahah!


BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

****ing Tiggie.

ROFL

Has there ever been a take on Chiefsplanet that was worse than this?

Crazy how that worked out. Dumbass

Search his history. He would fill the top 100 worst CP posts ever.

Irony.

You really don’t want me answering this, Superstar.

What's really funny is that a lot of GMs and other professionals who actually do this for a living rather than hobby were in the anti-Mahomes crowd. We're lucky to have someone like Andy Reid who understands and can develop QB talent.

Just glad Andy didn't listen to the draft gurus on here and select Geno Smith.

What I think is really interesting about all this is about how supposedly the Chiefs damn near conspired with Mahomes' agent Leigh Steinberg to keep the lid on just how interested the Chiefs were in Mahomes because Steinberg thought it was in Mahomes long-term interest to work with Reid. Talk about a ringing endorsement from an agent.

Looking back at that douchebag's posting history, he's barely posted this season except in a thread titled "Do we win today with Alex?" LMAO LMAO LMAO

I mean, it is obviously an embarrassing take in hindsight, but it was even indefensible at the time. Burn a first rounder? On a QB with that arm and ability? Even if he didn't pan out that's an easy pick.

A lot of posters on here gave Alex too much credit and dragged their heels on Mahomes, but this dude was out of his mind.

No you said you wanted them to use a 2nd or 3rd in the next draft... like that was even feasible.

And looking back you also said there's no way in HELL you'd move up into the teens for patrick mahomes that year because there was 1st round talent in the third.

Yeah right.

Keep your political bullshit out of the Lounge. This is a Chiefs thread.

Facts not fiction.....

Are you quoting yourself and replying to yourself?

Lexi Loser literally went into hiding after the election he was so wrong

I agree that Geno Smith wasn't worthy of 1.1 or even 2.1 but he did show the ability to be very accurate early in his last college season, and in hindsight he is being judged by what he became with a Head Coach not named Andy Reid. Reid may have made him a serviceable back up.

But whatever events that transpired in leading this franchise to #MVPM2 they must have been preordained by fate, and probably could have never happened any other way.

He did, Captain Faceplant. That wasn’t political. It was cleverly not so. You should have just left it alone if your concern was about keeping the focus on the Chiefs.

And I’ll even go a step further. Alex Smith was a good mentor to Patrick too. After seeing how other qb’s act when a new qb is drafted shows how good an individual Alex is. Could you imagine how ruined he’d have been if Stoolers would have drafted him? Ben would shun him, same with Pats or Sharters. Andy and Alex were a perfect fit for Mahomes!

Mahomes wouldn’t be ruined. He’d just be a little worse than he is now.

It’s not like Mahomes was a dumb, talentless scrub who was turned into a star because Smith mentored him. Smith deserves alot of credit and I respect the hell out of him as a person but Mahomes is amazing and would be a good quarterback anywhere.

Yep. Rodgers turned out just fine in spite of Brett Favre being a jackass towards him. And in my opinion, the whole, "Maybe I'll retire.... maaaaaaybe I wooon't..." routine that Favre did for two seasons was a worse stunt to pull on your young replacement than anything Ben has done to his QB competition in Shittsburg.

Just expanding on a thought

LMAO Explains a LOT!

It wasn’t a political reference?

I remember the day we draft Patrick Mahomes. I was driving home from work and listening to 610 draft coverage. I remember the announcement came that we had traded up to pick number 10. I cant remember ever being more excited for something the Chiefs have done. I knew they were going with QB, admittedly I thought they were going with Watson, because I didnt really follow college football so he was the person I was more familiar with, but they said Mahomes. I was still ecstatic because I wanted a QB, so I didnt give a **** who they picked. Thank God they picked who they did.

From May 2, 2017 LMAO

Can't blame them for the Kpassagnon stuff, though
