Could mean something, could mean nothing, but it sure looks good from where I'm sitting...

Sweet Jesus let this be a sign, and let us not lose draft picks for tampering.

Yes please. Bye bye Smith.

Seriously. Knowing our luck, they'll be on the way to turn in the pick for Mahomes, but Goodell will intercept it and dock us our first round pick for Clark taking his picture with him back in February.

WOOT!

Make this ****ing happen, Clark.

Oh great I suppose now Chiefs will be under investigation for "tampering" with draft pick prospects because Chiefs.

Trade up for Watson, just do it. If he's there in the late teens, pull the trigger and get the better QB out of it.

ASS and Tigger both gone in a a few months? Is this heaven or KC?

And here..... we go!

The majority of NFL personnel people have 3rd round grades on Watson, and 2nd round grades on Mahomes. He's the better prospect imo.

Clark Hunt received a humanitarian award? What did he do other than force soccer down America's throat?

Derrick Thomas agent.

Smokescreen for another team to jump over us and get Mahomes so that ILB falls to us.

weird picture

What does a Humanitarian award have to do with Steinberg and Mahommes?

Who is the dude hanging on to the award while Hunt has it?

I strongly advise that you don't get hyped about anything QB for the next 2.5 months.

We all know how this ends

Like Charlie Brown and the football.

I always fall for it. Every off-season, every season. I bane help it. In the end they hook me.

You make this kind of claim, you need to provide links.

Otherwise you are just talking out of your ass.

Various tweets out there from different media people, Walterfootball says on his site that none of the NFL scouts or personnel men that he's spoke to have grades higher than the 3rd round. --> http://walterfootball.com/draft2017QB.php

Round projections right now are pretty meaningless.

Once the combine is over and any sort of individual / college workouts are done, then you can believe with some certainty that a grade will hold out for a player.

So you have a guy that is generally considered someone that talks out of his ass saying that two teams have a third round grade on him, and another two with second round grades.

That's far from the "majority".

I agree and have seen Mahomes as far down as the 8th rated QB in this class. There isn't a lot of consistency among the "experts" on where he'll go.

Note that quote was written before the National Championship game even started (1-11-17 @ 7:40 PM Eastern). From what I have read, most scouts had him going in the 2nd round before that game. His stock soared after it.

The draft is a funny thing. Alex Smith was taken 1.1 but he was more or less of a bust for the 49ers but at 24 the Packers scored with a far superior quarterback in Aaron Rodgers. So guys rise and fall all the time for different reasons can't hold what they project now against them all the time. Hard work and determination can make or break a quarterback also the mental aspect of toughness like when we dismantled Ryan Leaf.

Mock drafts are fun but has anyone ever gotten a full 32 first round picks right? It's virtually impossible to predict the draft including trades and variables. Also the misleading reports teams purposely put out there just to hoax other teams thinking they may grab a guy and teams make a trade with them it's called a war room for a reason. That is one aspect that makes the draft fun and intriguing.


Drafting a quarterback otf has been a dream of mine for three decades. I know I can handle a couple of years watching a quarterback go through ups and downs and watch him grow into it and wait for that light bulb to turn on when he gets it then you have something special but that only happens to teams that take a chance and actually draft a quarterback otf. He may even be a blunder but my belief worth it if we are ever going try to win a Super Bowl.

Here I am wishful thinking we draft a qbotf and I know better :shake:

Vince Young had a big national championship performance too....

I'm not letting one game gloss over the issues that Watson has. He could overcome them, but I'd be skeptical to say the least if the Chiefs take him.

Spit on it before you polish it boys.

Save some for Alex as he leads the CHIEFS next year...

Tom Brady
Drew Brees
Russell Wilson
Dak Prescott
Kirk Cousins
Derek Carr
Tony Romo

Scouts got it wrong on all these guys. It's turned into a QB class vs Andrew Luck as a prospect and we all know nobody matches up with him, which is what makes them look dumber and dumber every year.

Please don't remind us. Just let us dream of having a dream of something better in hope of drafting our QBotf.


Alex Smith is leading us to another failure ending season.

If we draft a QBoTF then the Chiefs should absolutely keep Alex Smith for another year. Common sense.

The only way you get rid of Alex Smith is if we acquire a veteran or we need to trade Alex Smith to move up in the draft to get the guy we want.

All this other crap is just people being pissed and not thinking straight.

Watson is a leader. He's lead a ton of comebacks. Vince you did the same in the championship but, he also did terrible on the wonderlick for example. Didn't he score a six?

Watson graduated High a School and College early. There are so many differences man. They aren't the same player. Maybe physically? But mentally? I compare Watson to Russell Wilson.

Watson's ceiling IMO is Mariota. A lot of similarities there. If he falls in the right system and is surrounded with the right pieces, I think he could be that type of QB.

...to a season devoid of a playoff appearance.

I'm more than happy to take a guy with the poise and guts to win and coach him up, then a talented guy who's average in the clutch. I agree on the Mariota comparison. But I think Watson brings in a 4Q mentality that Mariota didn't (Mariota, on the other hand, was more NFL ready).

The Chiefs' system would be great for him. Reid took two freelancers, Vick and McNabb, and made the system work for them. He can do it for Watson. And having Alex Smith under contract for only 1-2 more years is ideal because it gives time to develop.

I'm cool with either Watson or Mahomes. But I just see an "it" factor in Watson that can't be coached. The guy is fearless in the 4Q.

Talk about a 180 turn. Might be worth watching on a weekly basis.

Source?

I would be happy with ANY of the current prospects.

That said, I like Mahomes and Trubiski the best out of this year's offerings, with Chad Kelly as a UDFA option as Bray was.

I will take that bet.

My CP betting ended with sending RNR off to the Land of Forgotten Shame.

Someone should let that Mahommes kid that the Chiefs don't draft QBS
to actually ever play. Just in case he wasn't already awar

All you need to do is put together a few good games at the end of the season. Eli is a normal regular season QB, but was a killer in 2 playoff runs in the 4Q. Maybe he doesn't shine until games become critically important. I just look at back to back years where his 4Q performance wasn't just good, it was off the charts in the biggest game of the season.

Someone photoshop this to have Clark holding a Chiefs jersey for Mahomes

Yes please make this happen.

Or, holding a participation award.

OMG

Clark doesn't have balls to draft him

does mahomes fit andy reids west coast offense principles?

west coast offense requires footwork, smarts, timing and accuracy

mahomes played in a simple air raid offense with 1 read akin to backyard football

reid will be looking for qb more oriented to his wco principles, I would think

You all are haters! alex smith didn't drop three td passes vs Pittsburgh! Plus his o line was broken! Get him but i still have faith in Alex Smith!

Lol nice troll job

Maybe Clark is learning. But I'll believe it when I see it.

Perhaps the pressure is getting to him.

There's a possibility that he may be tired of being a loser.

He would easily start in Pile High.

Clark should be used to it. His father was a loser before him.

Ouch.

Milk Choco....Peniiiiiii!!

Oh, I'm sure he was out there learning reasons why we shouldn't draft Mahomes in case Reid brings it up.

Perhaps. Again, I'll believe it when I see, it. Unlike Clark, I'm from the show me state.

Tough love is tough...

Here's another thought, perhaps this is just a way to get his fluffers fluffing and quell the revolt... He knows ~98.7% of his fan base knows his family has failed in the QB drafting area, this might be a move to get our hopes up, only to have them dashed by one of the many teams who will snap him up before we would even get the chance. Hey, if the stars align right, he could draft another guard while claiming that the mean xyz team took his QB.

We've lived through eons of seasons where the Hunts were OK with ~.500 seasons as long as the wins were at home so the proletariat fans have hope, a fun time at the game, and they could pocket tons of salary cap cash. Maybe they found a way to funnel the money into the MLS, IDK...

Reid worked well with Donovan McNabb. McNabb didn't make fast reads, he wasn't accurate, and he improvised and threw downfield way more often than a wco offense should.

Reid also hired childress to be a spread advisor. Even brought in experts on read option. so he understands concepts beyond wco.

I don't buy at all that he's locked into the wco. Give him a qb and he'll find a way to adjust his offense. Reid may have weaknesses, but he's a bright offensive mind and knows how to coach qbs.

I am boycotting the Chiefs until they make an attempt to address the QB position. Hopefully, many other Chiefs fans will start to do the same.

The Hunts know they'll always find enough fans in Kansas City looking for something to do for 8 Sundays to not worry about it. That's why they won't ever move - a city like New York or L.A. would eat their lunch.

But hey, I'm guilty as charged, I usually find a game to take the boys to, and lately the team never fails to disappoint.

Mahomes to me has Andy Reid written all over him. We were linked as a possible landing spot for Johnny Manziel on draft night a few years back, and Lynch last year. Neither exactly finished products.

I'd like to know how he is as a leader and motivator, as that obviously plays a huge role. But as far as physical ability, its all there. Let the kid come in and sit for a year, and maybe if you're really lucky he is just too damn good to sit from day one.

No thanks.

Welcome to Dag's Playhouse; come on in!
And Billay seals the deal; MAHOMES IT IS! :D

Why?

Well I like next year's QB class more than this year's I feel everyone knows we need to draft a QB and are trying to talk themselves into a guy like they did Geno Smith and Mahomes is that guy. Not to say he can't be good but he's a project where as next year there will be at least a few day one franchise guys.

I dont like the offense he's coming from. Never taking a snap under center annoys me and I think it inflates states. Sometimes it looks like he forces throws maybe that can be coached but maybe not. His footwork is really really bad. Again maybe that can be coached but off the top of my head I can't think of a prospect that came out with horrible footwork and turned into a stud?

These are valid points, but a good college QB who plays in a pro style system is damn near impossible to find these days.

We'll see how he does in the pro day/combine, interviews are a huge part of this that we will never see or hear.

It's hard to imagine the announcers saying the name "Mahomes" when he makes a big play in a big game.


It doesn't roll of the tongue.

It's also hard to imagine the announcers saying the name Alex Smith after a big play.

Matt Stafford

That seals it, the team will jump out there and spend a third on QB. They have already done it this millennium.

Billay makes valid points and I'd rather see the Chiefs make a grab for Sam Darnold anyway.
This may be the year that it's easiest to part ways with Smith, but I'll bet you anything they keep him on, try to move Foles, and look for a late-round QB to fill Foles slot, if not move Bray up and put a pick like Trubiski at #3 behind Bray.

Kizer and Watson are shit. Let other teams overpay for that.

Where do you think trubisky is getting drafted?

The Chiefs would need to give up two entire drafts to get Darnold.

That's not happening.

Trubisky?

LMAO

Probably a lot higher than he should.

They should consider it. Or, they can continue sucking shit.

Trubisky is going Top Two.

No chance.

11-5, 9-7, 11-5 and 12-4 isn't "sucking shit".

That's dumb as ****.

So, either the Chiefs strike gold with a later draft choice or with a trade.

They won't be in a position to draft the "best" college QB prospects.
