We go the better QB. We drafted from a position of strength like GB did with Rogers. They had Favre and could afford to let Rogers learn. Smith is not of Favre's quality but Smith is in one sense a better mentor. He's smart and he's willing to mentor. Watson will be a good AqB but I think Mahomes talent ceiling is higher. If Mahomes went to Cleveland his QB development would have been really stunted, not to mention he would be surrounded by poor talent. Here, he has the opportunity to learn from Reid and Smith and develop. That will allow him a better chance to be the best QB he can be. From what I've seen of the two of them, I think that is better than Watson.
