It was a lot to give up for what I see as a deeply flawed QB prospect.
They better be right, and Deshaun Watson better not be the dude they should have picked. I thought he was going to go well before #10, and had you given me the option, I take Watson over Mahomes every time.
I approve greatly of the Chiefs finally grabbing their nuts and taking a risk, but I think they gave up way too much when they could have worked out a trade next year in a better QB class.
It sure is fun to have a sliver of hope, though. [Reply]
Ideal size, canon for an arm, smart, gutsy player. Yes, he needs at least a full year of development (if not 2) but well worth the risk and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of Paxton Lynch, IMO.
Draft him in 2017, sit him all year, let him compete in 2018. If all works well, he could take over mid-season 2018 or at the latest, 2019. [Reply]

"A lot"???
A fucking LATE 3rd this year and, most likely, a late 1st in 2018?

Your football IQ is ZERO.
ZERO.
Giving up two extra high picks for a guy who isn't even going to play in 2017 is a bit much for my tastes. Better QB prospects have been taken for a lot less.
I'm glad to see you back on CP, though. Let the rage flow, friend. [Reply]
That last option was tempting. I was explaining the Chiefs first round QB woes to my coworker after the Chiefs pick. When I mentioned the '83 draft he said, "Who in the fuck is Todd Blackledge? They chose him over Dan Marino? No wonder they waited 34 years to do it again. If I fucked up that bad, I'd be pretty gun shy as well. Fucking losers." [Reply]
