Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

An NFL executive on the phone with me Sunday: “Let’s put it this way: The second I saw him in that video, I knew Roger had to act quickly. Everyone, including all the owners, knows he’s the guy.” https://t.co/O8hYReWSx5

A very Pioli-like strategy if I ever saw one. It's an egotistical pick. "Look at me and how wise I am for taking the clean Stanford-smart passrusher and avoiding a potential QB bust and all the flashy WRs!"
And it's even funnier that he followed up the Thomas bust by trading up to get Reuben Foster. That kind of draft would have made Tiger Uppercut wet himself with glee. And no, that's not a good thing.
He got lucky with the George Kittle pick. Damn lucky. Otherwise that would have been the worst draft of all 32 teams that year. [Reply]
When does he become President of the United States of America?
I figure he retires to Texas where he decides to run for mayor of Whitehouse, eventually people want him to run for Congress which he will win easily, then he becomes a senator. Should take 15 years after he retires.
So let me get this straight, even though Phillip Rivers sucks and has never won a damn thing he sucked longer so therefore is more valuable than Mahomes who in 2 years won an MVP and a SB MVP.

The best part was that everyone and their mother knew that Lynch was going to take the Stanford guy.

Flood these morons please
I mean, they DID expressly state that it's per a counting stat. And so yes, longevity will get someone else the edge over Mahomes.
If someone posts "most HRs hit by a player who played in KC during the 90s" and listed Jeff King ahead of Bo Jackson...well they'd be technically accurate. [Reply]

PFF grading is cumulative. Rivers started for 5 of those years to Mahomes' 2.
That actually makes it even more impressive for Mahomes to be #3 over guys like Von Miller, Chris Harris, Bosa, Hayward, Tyreek, Kelce, etc who played a lot more games in that span. [Reply]

I remember that King/Bell trade adding legitimate players to our lineup. It was a pretty big freaking deal at the time. [Reply]
