My dissenting vote was really questioning whether the Chiefs could have picked up another QB with their original pick (and that would've been Kizer given how the draft turned out), and then added a first and third round pick to the roster in addition. We'll see in the long run how it shakes out, but Mahomes is looking a lot better than Kizer right now. The Bills ended up drafting a CB and SS with their 2017 picks, which wouldn't have gone over well in Chiefsland.
The Mahomes pick is truly a franchise saver at this point. If he wasn't picked (or at least some quarterback wasn't picked), times would be be quite dire around here.
Without Mahomes I don't think I'd care about next year at all. [Reply]

RG3 was pretty good before injuries too. In Watson's case, I wonder what happens when DC's begin adjusting to him. The ball still floats on him downfield and at some point he won't get away with that.
Mahomes is also guilty of taking too many big hits and I hope he will learn to protect himself. In my opinion that was his biggest weakness as a college player. You like the determination to make plays, but you don't like seeing a QB lower his shoulder and end up injured, etc. [Reply]
