— 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]

What a fun bump! Will you bump Deberg's thread about Watson next?

Alex Smith is that 700000-850000 type QB that gets a team into QB purgatory.
This QB class is a gift from the gods to help us out of that funk.
Mahomes sitting behind Alex for a year (maybe 2) is our best chance at having the QB situation solved for the next decade.

I don't have a problem with the misdirection, screens, jet sweeps, option plays and the quick hitters...but all of those play calls are made to open up the deep ball. McNabb took advantage of those opportunities and that opened up the offense.
You put vintage McNabb on last years Chiefs, they might have won the whole thing.
Mahomes is about to have us in the super bowl..

Not that it matters much, but the context was I didn’t want to trade the whole 2017 draft (and then some) to move up because that cost is usually way too much.
I did say in the post that if they are going to trade up to get him (which if you’d click on my sig, you’d see a slew of my thoughts on wanting to move up to top ten for Mahomes using future picks kinda like we you know, we did) I want them to use picks from a future draft.
I even clarified that I want them to move up to get him. [Reply]
