I just don't see a 21 year old Mahomes coming into camp and overtaking Smith, even after 1 season. If drafted he's at a minimum a 2 year project. He clearly doesn't have the maturity that Prescott, Luck, or Wilson had coming out of the draft. As the analysts have said, his decision-making is far from ideal. Sure he can sit behind a protected pocket and launch a ball like his rocket-arm baseball daddy taught him to but you have to question why a quarterback needs to be flexing his muscles when his team struggled all year and finished 5-7??
Our odds of success are better waiting for a 1st rounder in 2018
