I was driving home after a meeting at work and was listening to Denver's Talk Radio cover the draft. They were already disappointed that Denver wasn't going to snag McCaffery when out of NOWHERE, they announced huge news. The Chiefs had traded up for the tenth pick. I was baffled when it happened. This was finally going to happen, and thanks to Chiefsplanet I knew who the Chiefs were picking.
The Bronco talk radio guys, on the other hand, were baffled. One had no idea what the Chiefs were thinking. "Why would they draft Watson when they have an elite quarterback in Alex Smith? Can Watson do anything that Smith can't do?"
The other commentator was quicker to the punch. "No, this is a bold move. They're going to go with that boom or bust kid from Texas Tech with that unbelievable arm, Pat Mahomes."
Mahomes' pick was announced right after. Still one of my favorite days ever as a Chiefs' fan.
