Good thing no one's talking about drafting him. He's a fringe candidate if he improves massively.

If any of those underclassmen tear their ACL at the beginning of the year, or have a really disappointing season, they're going back to school. That's a pretty big ****ing gamble. Especially considering that we don't even know if we'll have a shot.

You will be screaming bloody murder if the Chiefs pass on Mahomes at #27.

Until that happens it means nothing. People are pimping these guys right now as if they will automatically be awesome. They could just as easily go the way of Matt Barkley. Hell Brad Kaaya was talked about as a potential top QB this time last year.

The QB's this year aren't ready and that's fine. Nobody wants them to play the first year and that's what makes it a great draft for the Chiefs.
You're leaving out the part about the QB we would draft getting elite professional coaching for an entire year from one of the best QB coaches in the league.

Take out Darnold and Browning and right now you have the same thing as this years crop: prospects with tools to succeed that need to be developed.

Does he have faith if Dorsey decides to pass on the QBs? :rolleyes:

It depends who they draft at #27

If it's Christian McCaffery, you can bet your Dove body bar-coated ass I'm going to go on a tirade.

We do you guys think so little of Watson?

too close to Alex Smith?

Falks are guy his ahort yardage throws are money.

Probably because Watson has an average arm, at best, and was pretty inconsistent last year.

Cousins and Jimmy G. Will also be on the market next year.

Johnny Football and Paxton Lynch, asshole.

However, I was pretty ****ing pissed when we took Ford instead of Bridgewater or Carr.

Didn't give a shit about anybody else in the middle or late rounds in Dorsey's tenure. I did think Aaron Murray was a great pick at the time, and I hated Kevin Hogan.

You just can't stand the thought that people who strongly advocate for taking a QB are still selective when it comes to the options the Chiefs have.

He's got the arm strength of Chad Pennington without the laser accuracy. That's just my opinion, though. Again, I know nothing about coaching QBs. If Andy Reid thinks those flaws aren't that big of a deal, or that he can coach Watson to throw with a bit more velocity, then I'll applaud him if he drafts Watson.

I wanted Carr over Ford, not Bridgewater though.

Nah, I just can't stand people who love hyping up and getting excited over C-level, day 2-3 QB prospects just because they want a 1st round rookie QB over anything else.

Oh yay.

The top 4 guys the Chiefs could get all need time on the bench. They can't be rushed out there too quickly.

I think Trubisky and Kizer are the dudes who have a decent shot at becoming good pros if they are given a slow entry to the NFL.

Mahomes is a mystery to me. I really have no clue about him. Again, if Dorsey and Reid think they know him will enough and they draft him, I'll trust them.

I don't think Watson will stick in the NFL. His intangibles and leadership that people are talking about are the same obsessions folks had with Tebow at the expense of some pretty glaring flaws. Watson is different. He knows how to actually throw a goddamn football. He's faster athletically, and I also think he's smarter. But I don't think he has the arm to make it work.

And I've seen nothing of Davis Webb that convinces me he'll be anything more than just a dude. He seems like the kind of QB that the Jets or Buffalo drafts from time to time and just never cracks the depth chart beyond backup. He eventually washes out of the NFL having done nothing more than a bit of spot duty.

That's my assessment. I'm not desperate for C level prospects. I see an opportunity with four guys, and I see two of them that I really like. And if Dorsey and Reid likes one of them, I'd much rather they pull the trigger now than try to navigate through 2018 and possibly be put in a position where they REALLY have to reach for a putrid prospect.

Again, if I'm running the show, and Trubisky and Kizer are gone, but Barnett or Watt are still on the board at 27, I'm drafting them over Mahomes or Watson.

How you can possibly paint that as "desperation" like Clay is doing or accuse me of not really being informed about 2017's QBs is beyond me.
