No. I wouldn't trade Mahomes for anything. Not next years #1. Not Watson + a 1st. Nothing. He's going to be a star that Watson can only dream of. [Reply]
We may have nailed the best at both positions, AND the best kicker.
We'll know in a couple years.
Regarding buttkicker, it sure sounded like they were high on him in the presser. Were any other kickers drafted this year? I'm much more confident in him after hearing all that.
Time will tell, but definitely a legit shot at getting best in class at all 3 positions. [Reply]

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.
I agree, although Smith is obviously no where near Favre, Favre wanted nothing to do with mentoring Rodgers. By all accounts, Smith is being a great mentor. [Reply]
