Where would Mahomes go in this years draft?

How does the trade with KC look right now?
 

If Mahomes was entering this years draft where would he go? Would be the 1st QB taken in front of Darnold and Rosen? Would he be somewhere in the middle? Maybe after Darnold and Rosen but ahead of Mayfield and Allen?

That's a really tough question. I think Rosen, Darnold and Allen may go above him. He would rate right around where Mayfield rates I think, and be the fourth or fifth qb taken.

I would this or maybe ahead of Allen

If he played in college this past year and presumably performed well as a senior in his 4th year of the system, I absolutely think he could be pushing Rosen / Darnold for the first QB picked. He certainly measures up with them on physical tools and would be eligible to go under the senior bowl microscope.

Especially in a year with so many veteran QB's available, you're gonna draft the guy with the bigger upside and sign a veteran starter.  

I'd say Rosen, Allen, Trubisky, Darnold, Mahomes, Watson, Mayfield in that order. This years QB's will go a lot higher than last years due to need.  Not looking good for Bills unless they want to move into the top 5 for the 3rd or 4th best QB in this class.  Get Cousins.

Mahomes is a future star in the NFL.  The Bills made a mistake not selecting him.  

 

Rosen has a chance to be nice, but I like Mahomes quite a bit more.  Mahomes skill set reminds me so much of Aaron Rodgers.  Accuracy is a plus, and his arm is probably the strongest I've seen.  He made a throw in week 17 vs. the Broncos that literally made my jaw drop.  I posted it a few weeks back, it was amazing.

I would say a Mahomes would be somewhere around the #4 to #6 QB this year (sorry Jeffismagic...lol). Maybe 3 at very best. 

 

I think Rosen, Darnold easily go in front of him. Possibly Allen and/or Mayfield too.

 

He has very similar stats to Mason Rudolph in his draft year, and they both come from a somewhat similar air raid type offense. Mahomes has the superior arm though. So I'd say he would possibly right around the same area as Rudolph goes, Mahomes most likely going first. 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as the trade - I think it has has been very good so far. Tre White looks like a future star and possible top 3 CB in the NFL.

 

We also have Zay Jones, who they drafted by trading up with the 3rd round pick acquired in the Chiefs trade. He struggled hismrookie season but I still think he ends up being a good WR for us. But we will see...

 

Plus, we don't even have the #22 pick to grade yet. If they hit on that, or trade back and turn it into a couple players (that they hit on) or use it to trade up and grab a QB... who knows. We will have to wait and see. But yeah I'd say the trade looks good so far. Let's see what Mahomes turns into, too. 

 

And you could kind of say that Dion Dawkins is somewhat part of that trade because they used the 5th round pick they got back when they traded the KC 3rd to help move up for Jones. He looks like he could be our future franchise left tackle for years to come. I mean, you could even say that If Dawkins allows them to trade Corey Glenn for a haul, that trade back factored into it, even if just slightly... 

 

If you think about it, depending on what they do with that #22 pick this year, that 1 single trade could go quite a long way towards helping rebuild this franchise. If they trade back again this year and turn it into 2 (or even 3) more players that they hit on, we'd have gotten 4-6(+) possible impact players from that trade (or at least in part from that trade). 

 

Its really still till too early to judge though. We have to see how the trade impacts each franchise in the years to come.

Not sure, If I had to guess I would say the QB log jam would push him down to the 15 to 28 range in the 1st rd. All of the QB's this year will probably have really good combines and interview very well. 

He would have been pushed to 2nd round IMO

Zero chance he would go before:  Rosen, Darnold, Baker, or Allen.  At best 5th QB...and I am not even sure he would go before Mason or Jackson.  

 

Lets keep in mind, Mahomes was a raw project, just about everyone felt his footwork and fundamentals would need to be rebuilt to have success in the NFL.  Personally I think he would have been a 2nd rounder this year with a low chance to go late first as the 5th or 6th QB off the board.
