The Post-Standard reports Texas Tech QB Patrick Mahomes is expected to go in the top 10.
Per reporter Matthew Fairburn, the Chiefs are "known to love" Mahomes, and are considering a trade up. The top 10 isn't lacking for quarterback-needy teams, including the team Fairburn covers, the Bills, at No. 10. Although this is considered a relatively poor quarterback class, teams appear prepared to go as crazy as usual pursuing football's most important position.

The Chiefs cannot give up what it will take to move into the top 10 and the cost/benefit doesn't work out as well anymore either since the 5th year option on a quarterback taken in the top 10 QB would be the rough equivalent of a franchise tag for him.
So you're getting 4 years under cost, 1 of which is on the bench. And for that privilege you're probably giving up your 1st and second this year and next.
Mahomes has been my top target since this process started but I just cannot see giving up the bullets needed to make that happen. [Reply]
