Mental processing is the most important factor, and there's no way to see that the way college football is played now.

I do think you can tell in a kid's make-up if he's a film rat. If he's not, you have no chance.

Mahomes' ungodly arm talent is an unteachable thing, and his overall athletic ability is high, but it's his brain that should be truly terrifying to the rest of the NFL.

The fact that Trubisky went first tells me nobody knows what the **** they're doing. Watson? He's got heart. His weak arm will be a problem. I don't see him being dominant. I see an Alex Smith type ceiling there. Despite the general consensus of the board, that's an above average NFL starter, but he's not winning multiple Super Bowls. Trubisky I still don't know what he'll be; supposedly he was the most NFL-ready, but that appears to not be the case.

If you read the articles surrounding Mahomes' draft, Reid knew exactly what he had in terms of Pat's football acumen.
