The only reason he had as many picks as he did in college (and it still wasn't that much) was because he was trying to win games. Not care about his stats or QB rating like alot of soft QBs do.
Just like last year. What was he supposed to do? We had a historically bad defense. Should have two Super Bowls if it wasn't for Bob ****ing Sutton. Three if it wasn't for Alex ****ing Smiff.

I wasn't upset because we drafted Mahomes. I watched enough Big 12 football to see his talent, and to understand that in a league with many bad defenses, the Texas Tech defense was historically bad. Watching him in college, I didn't think there was another college QB that could do what Mahomes did. My only concern was his lack of footwork in the pocket.
I was just afraid that Watson would be the 2017 version of Kelly and Marino. Jim Kelly was the 14th pick, and Marino was the 27th pick, and they are both in the HOF. We drafted Blackledge with the 7th pick.
Since it was the first time we had drafted a QB in the 1st round since Blackledge, I just thought the same thing would happen with Watson.
But, that being said, Watson showed out against Alabama and other SEC schools that were loaded with NFL defensive players, and defense mattered in the SEC. The Big 12 was filled with teams with a lack of NFL defensive talent, and as a whole the Big 12 really seemed to not care about defense at all. There were reasons to believe that he could be a star in the NFL too.
I don't think I was the only one who was afraid that Because Chiefs would strike again.
