NFL Rumors: Mahomes, Watson atop KC's QB wish list

[rico]

I feel like Dak is alright, but am not 100% sold and wouldn't be surprised if he tapered off at some point. He had some help...to put it lightly... like, more help than any QB could ask for... On top of that awesome OL, his receiving targets only had 8 drops all season... out of 479 targets. That's the lowest out of any team in the league...

Right now the Chiefs are the 6th youngest roster in the league so they have a short window. With Jamaal gone, DJ and Tamba being less than stellar (DJ only because of injury) and Houston hopefully on the mend they need to shore up a number of positions but QB has to be a priority. Again, the last time a QB drafted by the Chiefs won a game in any capacity was 1987. That is just turrible.

I do agree we need to address the qb position early. But how does having the 6th youngest roster mean we have a short window? We're not going to miss much DJ and Tamba gone. They are far past their prime. We've barely played had a healthy Houston. For how many vets we have on the roster, having the 6th youngest is ridiculous. Our window is as long as Dorsey is our gm

Every window in the NFL is short unless you have a legit franchise QB. You have a much better shot at capitalizing on superior talent in other areas if you're team leader is a legitimate star.

Several teams have won championships with middling QB's but they had superior supporting casts. Our supporting cast is excellent, but with a middle of the road QB, the window is short.

He definitely went into an ideal situation.

From Matt Miller:

Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes has visited with the Chiefs, according to Miller. Kansas City is set to pick 27th overall, when Mahomes still might be available. The second-round-graded Mahomes has drawn plenty of interest from around the league.
