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]

If I'm Dorsey, I probably do it. Any QB they draft is going to be far from a sure thing and Alex is the perfect bridge guy who can bring them some respectability in the meantime. They have plenty of cap room, that $20M is nothing for them.
Rosen is being mocked to them at #1, but I've read stuff that makes him sound like the real life Bo Callahan. Wouldn't put all my eggs into that basket or Darnold. [Reply]

Looking at this list of their QBs from 99 forward, you'd have to go back at least to the mid 90s and Testaverde, or even the 80s with Kosar to find anyone as good as Smith

I think the odds of Buffalo trading for him have gone up. They clearly don’t want Tyrod Taylor and they won’t be in a position to draft a top QB. [Reply]
The Browns would be wise to heavily consider giving us just ONE of those three 2nd round picks they have. I mean, what are they going to turn that 33rd or 37th pick into? Another Jabrill Peppers level player? I just have to believe that getting a QB like Alex Smith for a year or possibly more has more value than that pick in the long run. That franchise has absolutely no idea how to win right now and no semblance of a winning culture.
They have 5 picks in the first 2 rounds, so they have room to part with a pick here or there. [Reply]
Say they trade a 2nd round pick for Smith. They still have 5 picks in the first two days AND they get a QB that can start next year and be competent. [Reply]
The thing is, Smith is good enough to be a starter for at least two or three more years. If he goes to Cleveland, the plan would likely be that he starts for a year before being replaced by the QB drafted in this upcoming draft.
Do you really want to give a 2nd round pick for a QB you would use just for one year? I don't think so, unless you have in mind to possibly trade him after that one year. [Reply]

Minnesota gave a first for a quarterback who I doubt was even considered their long term answer, so why wouldn't a team give a 2nd? [Reply]
This will be the first draft of Mahomes' era. I am excited to see what this team will give him, offense or defense, the latter one being more likely, to start his career with a bang. You can find good and immediate impact players in the 2nd and 3rd round. [Reply]

Its also possible Dorsey isnt high on anyone coming out this year, in which case Smith would be a two year answer at the minimum [Reply]
