He talks about what Gruden said about Mahomes the morning of the draft.

Another record falls. Someone should keep a tally of all the records he breaks.

No, those takes were idiotic from the start. You don't take the guy who throws 48mph over the guy who throws 62mph and the interception rate Mahomes had in college is nearly identical to what he has in the NFL. The interception worry was stupid from the start. Mahomes had three interceptions in CAMP!!!! Watson has outperformed but Mahomes was always the better pick from day 1 |

Then evidently some asshole on NFL Network (or maybe ESPN; one of the two) announced his sources were saying the Chiefs had moved up for Watson, so I get that text from my buddy's who's giving me updates. I was just crestfallen. I couldn't believe it. We finally have a shot at a generational quarterback and we take this glorified Alex Smith and his pop-gun arm. I was NOT a Watson fan (he's been better than I figured he'd be). Then I must've had a service issue because it was another 5 minutes before I get the MAHOMES!!!! text from my buddy when the pick was actually announced. He says he sent it immediately. So I got to run the gamut of emotions for about 5 minutes there.

Mahomes had the wow factor. I watched the LSU vs Texas Tech game multiple times and couldn't see how he shouldn't go top 5. But Air Raid, Texas Tech gave us the break we needed to pounce. |

It appears my reservations about his ability to play in the pros were overblown. I'll own that one. But I fought against the notion that HE BEAT TEH ALABAMA HE GOAT was a valid assessment of his ability compared to Mahomes, and that part is absolutely true. Particularly the "clutch" label. Because what do you know... the "clutch" college QB blew a 24-point lead in the playoffs, and the "loser Jay Cutler clone" QB overcame 3 consecutive 10+ point deficits in the playoffs to win the Super Bowl. |

People can hate on ESPN and make fun of Jon Gruden all they want, but I am forever glad I chose ESPN's draft coverage that night instead of NFL Network. When the tradeup was announced at ESPN, Gruden instantly called the shot and said, "This is going to be for Mahomes." Like the Joel Klatt story, he knew what Andy Reid really wanted in a QB, and it wasn't Deshaun ****ing Watson. I didn't have to listen to a single second of draft coverage that was tainted with this smug sense of, "Woooooooaaaahhhh... they went with the OTHER guy... ehhhhhhhh???" |

I musta spent the whole time leading up to the pick saying, "Please be Mahomes Please be Mahomes Please be Mahomes Please be Mahomes". Interupted work out. Wife and her friend are annoyed....no ****s given. Chiefs draft Mahomes and i pretty much scream in celebration like we just went to the SB.
