... the word in the Chiefs building is that they would like to trade up for QB Patrick Mahomes or RB Christian McCaffrey in the first round. If this falls through, he said they like ILB Zach Cunningham a lot as well. [Reply]
Mahomes is being brought up constantly on TV. He will never last to our pick the way the media is hyping him up. This morning alone 3 football shows were all hyping him up as a rising draft prospect. I want him tobbe the pick but he maybe out of reach even for a trade up. [Reply]

GM's know what the media knows before the media knows it.
The hype doesn't bother me unless it's coming from NFL front offices. In which case the issue isn't that he's being hyped, it's that other teams value him as highly as I do.
Which sucks because I've had my heart set on the guy since around bowl season when he was seen as a 2nd rounder. I resisted, looked into him more and more and decided this dude was a definite fit. Now the fucker might end up going 12....goddammit. [Reply]

And I'm still ok with the Chiefs trading up if they feel he's the one. Doesn't matter how far. [Reply]

Yeah that was hilarious. Sails two clean over Evans' fat head. That will come in handy when you don't trust your receivers are open and you can throw it into row 12.... [Reply]
If the Chiefs want a QB, it's going to have to be rd 1.
Trubisky, Webb, Watson, Mahomes, Kizer and it's looking like Peterman will all be gone by our 2nd rd pick.
If we pick someone in rd 1 it will probably be Webb or Kizer. There's no way in hell Mahomes will be anywhere close to our trade up range. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he's a top 10 pick. [Reply]

Patty Football is going to find out soon that these are all picks in the NFL. He has some seriously bad habits that translate to turnover machine. It's almost like he learned how to play QB by cheesing on Madden.

But picking 27 is a result of the awesome winning the Chiefs accomplished last season.
Fucking paper tigers. The qb is a big problem, but the whole roster clenched up when it needed to perform. Players have to own it. [Reply]
There will be 10 quarterbacks drafted in the top 50.... so I hope KC trades up with 59 + 91 to go and get Trevor Knight... because he wouldn't be there at 59 either..
They are all.. just... that.. good. Believe it, folks... believe it.
And fuck taking a QB after rd 2. If they take Dobbs or another 2nd level QB in rd 2, it at least shows that they think highly enough to draft them that high and be a future starter.
Taking one in rd 3 would be complete bullshit. I'd rather get a defensive starting caliber player there than a backup QB at best. [Reply]

Round has little to do with it.
I think Murray was thought of as at least a backup/eventual replacement for Smith. If not for the knee injury, Murray probably goes round 1 or 2. His college body of work merited that. Was disappointed to see him fall short of projections.
I'm pretty sure the brass have determined their price points for each of the prospects they like in this draft and won't desperately reach for anyone. [Reply]

And if he didn't have that issue, he'd be the #1 Overall. The only reason we can even discuss the guy is because he has some negative traits.
People are excited about him, and he's being talked about as a 1st round pick for all the reasons you carefully chose not to mention. [Reply]

Andy did this in 2011. Russell Wilson was picked before the projected him to. [Reply]

Exactly.
Our quarterback in 4 years is going to be one of two things - a physically limited guy we got in the 3rd/4th round who will be little more than a continuation of Alex Smith (i.e. Nate Peterman) or a guy with a ton of tools who has warts that the staff will have to either fix or work around (Mahomes, Webb).
There's not really an in-between for teams drafting late. You're not getting Andrew Luck yet with Mahomes you're getting a guy with that kind of arm talent who simply needs to learn to harness it.
He might fail. It's still worth the risk to find out. [Reply]

And the Chiefs aren't going to be sitting at #1 overall and looking at the next Manning in 2018.
In other words, your analogy here is ****ing retarded.
I don't think you are seeing the big picture here as well as Dorsey is I'm sure. Average time frame for a WR to be at his peak is 3 years. I'm sure they know this and I'm sure we'll have seen the last of Alex by then.
So...if Corey Davis were to fall to us...GRAB him! [Reply]
