Pat Mahomes (2017 QB Draft Prospect)

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Not gonna say much.. just going to drop this video here so you can check this guy out if you hadn't. I hadn't until today, and I really like his raw ability.

#1 thing that sticks out to me is he can really evade rushers and chuck it on the run. Amazing raw arm talent.

As long as Reid is calling plays, we need a QB who can make up for his conservative ways. Save your comments about how the Chiefs will never take a QB, because that's bullsh*t. If they find the right one, they will. I think this could be him.

If Dorsey thinks he's worth a shot with a high pick, I'm all in. I figure he knows more about him than me!

After watching GoChiefs gifs of the loss to Pitt it just makes me sick. Tyreek wide open sprinting downfield and Smith checking down. There were at least 6 wide open BIG plays he missed.

That's what has made me fall for Mahomes. He consistently extends the play, keeps his eyes up and makes tremendous throws to receivers, sometimes in places you would never expect.

kind of like the Chiefs in the play offs, you hope for the win, but deep down, you just know they will **** it up. Then when the time comes and its all said and done, guess what? the Chiefs actually did **** ti up.

Against college players, right?

Its all relative. Against college players, with college teammates. Makes no difference in that sense.

I like his passes down field on covered receivers. But hate his pocket he played in and presence.

Pretty good arm strength, though he does throw his fair share of floaters. I think that's more due to poor mechanics and footing than anything. I don't think I've ever seen a QB who can roll out to either direction and make accurate throws with zip. That's a talent that's unteachable and it would be interesting to see if Reid designs plays utilizing that if the Chiefs were to draft him.

He has good poise in the pocket and knows when to step up, though he did show a habit of backing away from free rushers, which is not good. The videos in this thread are a perfect example of how important footwork is to a QB and that's the thing that really stands out for me about this kid. If that gets fixed, the sky is the limit.

I don't think he's the type that you start day one, at all. Even in this day of the NFL where all rookies drafted high typically do, he has mechanical stuff that needs fixed before you throw him in the fire.

BUT, if he does fix those things and you put him in the lineup year 2, the talent is off the charts and you might have an elite playmaking quarterback.

Which is perfect for the situation we find ourselves in. We have Smith. If he goes down we get to play our legit QBOTF. If he doesn't then we get an entire year to get him ready for 2018.

And truthfully, this thread probably shouldn't be centered on just Mahomes as there are a handful of QBs I could see KC drafting and that I would be excited about.

But Mahomes to me is the one who could be elite with the right coaching and system (which I feel KC can provide). Even more so than Watson IMO.

Yeah I want nothing to do with Watson
