I don't think many really do. We've been looking at Mahomes through the lens of potential, not thinking he would be ready to suit up week one and kick ass.
And really, what is the difference between pick 27 and picks 35-40, anyway? I'd rather us take him (or Kizer or Watson if they're available) and have that fifth year of control over a potential starter for us at QB. [Reply]
I think that Watson is a better fit for Houston than Mahomes. Houston needs someone who could possibly step in right now and give them better than what Osweiler or Savage can. I think Watson could at least be serviceable and get them to the playoffs. Mahomes isn't going to go in there and be able to win. [Reply]

Osweiler isn't a Texan. They only have Savage.
I agree, I think Watson could go right in and take that team to the playoffs year 1, but I may be wrong. With that defense getting Watt back and an incoming draft class, a guy like Watson is a perfect fit.
I'm fine with Mahomes or Watson and if both are selected before we get a chance to draft them, then just wait till next year and load up the defense.
Those are the only 2 that I see as guys that can win superbowls with (with the right team around them) [Reply]

I didn't type it out...but I meant what Osweiler could give them (say from last year). [Reply]
Osweiler is a guy with a huge chip on his shoulder now.
That contract is stupid, but I could see him doing well in the right situation.
If it weren't for that contract, I'd be talking about trading something conditional from next year for him after the draft (if KC doesn't get a QB they like in the draft)
Very interesting that Mahomes isn't going to be there for the draft. [Reply]
I still think that the Browns should roll with Osweiler this year. Take Garrett at 1 and take Trubisky at 12 if you want to but don't start him Week 1. Let Osweiler take those shots and get Trubisky learning your offense. [Reply]
