Kinda like how Polian (I believe) had Brady rated as a first rounder. Stfu. No you didn’t

Payton was raving about Mahomes in April 2017, right after the draft. He said Patrick had incredible talent. He said Lattimore was their #1 guy and Mahomes was their #2 guy. I’m not sure if he was trying to sugar-coat it for Lattimore at the time. But he did warn Drew Brees they might be taking a QB that night. There was a pro golfer in the Saints draft room who said they wanted Mahomes. I think the Chiefs ruined their plan and they had to settle for Lattimore.
