Nobody knew for sure what Mahomes would become. If people had known, he would have gone #1. It was something of a gamble. I'm sure Veach and Reid were very optimistic and saw the potential, but it's always a risk. The Bills just weren't in the right position to take that risk at that time.
I think of Watson with the Texans and the really crappy situation there. They have a fantastic QB that should be their franchise QB for the next 15 years but the owner and management totally ****ed it up.
The Bills did a good job of shoring up the organization and then drafting a QB. There's no way of knowing if things would have worked out better for them with Mahomes, but things have worked out well with what they have. It worked out great for us too. Mahomes and Allen are both good QBs. It doesn't make Mahomes anything less to recognize that Allen is good.
