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]
Listening to the Matt Miller podcast on LockedonChiefs. He’s saying that he heard around the grapevine that the Chiefs were going to trade up for a LB. remember when NFLN reported that on draft day?
My God. Think of how this place would have been if we traded up for Reuben fucking Foster :-) [Reply]

I thought that's what we were doing at first. I was so scared. Reuben Foster is a very very good LB, but man I would've blown a gasket if we traded up 17 spots for a ****in MLB and not Mahomes or Watson. [Reply]

Shit, we'd probably be reading about an extension for ASS11.
If we didnt draft mahomes, Alex would have mustered together his usual 3100 yards, 18 TD 7 INT, and we would all be talking about drafting his replacement still. I am so glad they took care of that shit last year. [Reply]

I suppose its because if we would have kept our original and only gave up next the next years 1st rounder for him then we would have trade one but since we gave them that years plus 18s it's two.
Yea a little play on words there but you could read it that way. [Reply]
I'd bet that the Foster/ILB rumor was a leak to keep teams from catching on to their plan. If they had said they were moving for a QB, that would give other teams like Houston, Arizona, or NO a chance to make a move up because they'd fear the Chiefs were taking a QB. Just my guess. [Reply]

No, he's saying we gave up 2 1st rounders in that range for Patrick Mahomes, not the #10 pick.
We traded up with one pick and traded the other. The trade up pick was used to acquire Mahomes. Thus two 1sts were spent to get Mahomes [Reply]

Because we still used that pick on Mahomes. We spent two 1sts and a 3rd on him. [Reply]
