— I believe Patrick Mahomes is the Chiefs' QB1 from what I’ve heard, but Deshaun Watson makes sense as well. They’ll need to trade up for both. If they stay at 27, the one quarterback whom they could shockingly have interest in is Davis Webb of California. They’ve also shown interest in Nathan Peterman and Brad Kaaya, but likely don’t value either as top-two rounders.
Now, the writer of this got all of his info in the article from speaking to FO people and scouts at the combine. You can question the validity, but the Chiefs did meet with all of the players mentioned at the combine.
If this report is accurate, the Chiefs could indeed be on the path to Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson holding up their jersey in 7 weeks in Philadelphia. [Reply]
I cannot fathom being upset by the Chiefs drafting any of the top 4-5 QBs in this draft. I obviously have been on the Mahomes train since the Pittsburgh game, but there is no way I am upset with Watson, Trubisky, Kizer, or even Webb.
When does reality set in for some on here? When is being just a good regular season team enough? [Reply]

I'd be ecstatic that they drafted a QB.....but each one has their flaws....so it would be interesting to see if they could fix them. If I was going to rank the top 5 in the order that I'd want them though.....it'd look like this.

Yup.
I would even be excited if they drafted Peterman or Dobbs rd 2 and referenced him as a developmental prospect.
Drafting a QB early and signaling he is the future is all I need. [Reply]

I'm in this camp.
And I may be alone here, but I am all for moving up to get the one we want (we being Dorsey and Reid). I know it's a deep draft and we have some other needs, but this is almost the perfect situation for us to go QB in the 1st. [Reply]
Yea, I just want them to draft a ****ing QB in the first two days that they believe can take over in a year or two. I certainly have a preference, but I'll be happy either way. [Reply]

I won't argue with the guy who drafted 3 all pro's and a double digit sack artist in 4 drafts.
That's where I'm at. I trust those guys to do what's best for the team, not necessarily what we as fans think is best.
Webb has been working all year with Jim Zorn to learn WCO concepts and how to call plays and work from the huddle. He could be a day 2 pick with miles of upside. [Reply]
