And with regards to Mahomes, no one (outside of a few people) really even knew who he was. Hell, in 2016 when Veach was pounding the table for him, he may have thought they could get him with a Day 2 pick? So all he had to do was convince the guys above him (Reid and Dorsey) to use their late 1st round pick and it'd be a done deal. Of course, as the draft drew closer, more scouts and coaches became enamored with Mahomes and he vaulted up the draft board. The Chiefs figured (correctly, BTW) that they would have to get to #10 (ahead of N.O. and Arizona) to get their guy. The only concern was supposedly the Bears REALLY liked Mahomes too and were deciding between him and Trubisky.

Of course, the Bears executed the stupid trade they did on draft day and the rest, as they say, is history . . . . .

That’s exactly my point. No one knew on Dak like no one knows basically every year which QBs will pan out.
