Sure. Is he a better prospect than Mahomes? No. |

But just taking a quick glance at the draft, the Saints had the 12th pick and the Cards (Arians) had the 13th pick. The Bengals at 9, Bills at 10, Texans at 11, Ravens at 16, Redskins at 17, Broncos at 20, etc. could all conceivably have been in the market for a QB. You really think a team who's "foaming at the mouth" for a QB wouldn't bother to trade up just a few spots to ensure they can nab him? Idk. Maybe you know something more than I do, but I just don't see it. I think we're all Chiefs fans and we're also tainted by the fact that we know that Mahomes has panned out quite well. We're ignoring the fact that Mahomes as a prospect had huge boom-or-bust potential. |

Or could it be that the talking heads were just wrong? Sean Payton called him the next Favre and the best QB he ever scouted. Andy Reid said he was sold on Mahomes 2 years before the 2017 draft. Brett Veach said he was generational and the best player he ever scouted. Maybe these guys know more than guys like Bucky Brooks, Mel Kiper, etc? I do understand where you are coming from. Just saying the best QB evaluators aren't giving you their rankings on TV. |

I think Max Jones will be a very solid QB in this league. Like a better Alex Smith

If we see another Mahomes hit the NFL (no, it hasn't happened yet, Marcellus ****face) it's not going to happen at #1 overall. The generational talents that get talked about like Lawrence and Luck did simply check all of the boxes. That's what makes them generational. But they're checks, and not "Holy mother of God, did you goddamn see that?" exclamation marks.
It shouldn't be this way, but for some reason teams are still sheepish about taking the highest potential QB at #1, and they'd instead prefer a QB who is about as close to a guarantee as you can get of being a top 15 starter. That's what Lawrence is, for sure. And I think that's what is still slow to change in the draft evaluation business. |

The next Mahomes hasn't even hit high school yet... Right now there are 8-12 year olds practicing no look passes, throws backing up, sideways, jumping in the air, and running right or left throwing back the other way... Patrick is changing the way the QB position is going to be played in the future...

I didn’t believe it because the ball is gone, but it matters. I wouldn’t be surprised if a simpler thing in football. |
