If you don't know what The Trade is, just go away.

What do you think? This is a public poll, because we're going to come back in five years and revisit this day.

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.

This. I have no desire to watch another year with Alex Smith as our quarterback.


I plan to go to TC in August as long as Patrick Mahomes II is taking all of first string snaps.


I think it's criminal if Andy keeps Alex Smith as starter.

I'm still comfortable in saying I preferred Watson at the time. He ended up pretty decent prior to injury.

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.
