I get a Cutlerian vibe from this guy. Seems to be built like a franchise QB. Powerful arm, some beautiful passes, perfect bodytype. But he is lacking an "it" factor, is he not? He's not a world-beating, overcome-the-odds, particularly spiriting QB. Looks like he could have an okay career in the NFL in which he wins nothing of consequence.
Well if there was one Andy Reid QB in this entire draft, it's Trubisky, isn't it? Super accurate, doesn't take too many risks with the ball, is very mentally tough and very athletic. He's a slam dunk for the Chiefs to trade up for, if he lasts to the 20s, but in a QB-starved NFL with at least 6 new head coaches looking for their QB, there's no chance he lasts to us. [Reply]

Mahomes has been working out north of San Diego at Exos Training facility in Carlsbad, California.

I would hope the Chiefs put an end to that nonsense...
If the Chiefs really love Mahomes chances are someone else does as well. I don't think KC can afford to just sit and hope their QB falls to them. [Reply]
Some Kizer love from Matt Miller's Friday column...

—Said one scout, "Kizer's feet are really improved. You can tell he's been working." Another praised the quarterback's poise and leadership on the field during the drills. And finally, one high-level scout complained that Kizer was throwing to "scrubs" who aren't NFL quality, which affected his timing.

Mahomes is getting hot, Kizer had a poor showing at the combine, and an inconsistent 2016. I doubt he falls to 27 but I would bet he goes after Mahomes. [Reply]
