Mahomes earned the pick machine label in his first training camp.
But yeah, a major reason Mahomes fell to 10 is because some teams didn’t like the offensive system he played in. Herbert also got knocked a bit because of the offense he played in.
Guys can get overvalued due to the system they played in as well. A major reason teams loved Carson Wentz and Trey Lance was because of the NDSU offense. And after Mahomes had success, it caused guys like Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield to become overvalued.
Teams don’t always weigh all of the factors correctly when evaluating QBs. The Broncos and Chiefs are just lucky they have coaches who know what they’re looking at. [Reply]

All that really says is anything can happen.
Nix could be great but percentages of being so are not on his side.
The biggest thing I see when it comes to a Rookie QB like Nix is he's been drafted by a tenured Coach who doesn't draft 1st round QB's or to say tie his anchor to them.
