IMO, the Chiefs should renegotiate Foles contract to something like 3 years, $22 million ($7 million or so per), then do whatever it takes to draft Mahomes, whether it's giving up all of their Comp Picks or a pick next year along with their #1 this year.
After the draft, trade or release Alex Smith. Go into TC with Foles and Mahomes as the #1 & #2, with Bray or someone else competing for the #3 spot.
At this point, after seeing Foles against Indy and Jax, while spending a full year with Reid, Nagy and Childress, I don't know how his performance would differ from another season of Alex Smith.
It's time to ****ing move on.

I'm not saying it isn't the best decision, but Foles was garbage on the short throws in those games. Say what you want about smith but he can put it where it needs to be when it needs to be there on the short stuff. Which is perplexing because Fokes throws so nice of deep ball but can't hit the short stuff. Maybe it's timing. Maybe it's rust. Maybe it's correctable technique, but his accuracy on the short stuff was bad.
Which is probably his death knell with Reid.
