And I have also noted repeatedly the context that no one knew how good he was--not any other team. It's kind of hard to believe that no team in the NFL had a scout capable of recognizing how good he would be, except the Chiefs.
Especially in the broader context of scouts routinely having consensus views on number one or number two pick QBs who turn out to be dogshit.

Actually, it's been documented that multiple teams had interest in Mahomes, but since he was expected to fall to later in the round, those teams were dumb and decided to let him fall to them Sean Payton, for one, was ready to take Mahomes at 11 until the Chiefs jumped ahead of him. The Texans wanted him as well, but settled for Watson after the Chiefs got Mahomes.
