You're forgetting......

 

Cleveland got Tyrod Taylor

Cincy got Cordy Glenn, Billy Price Andrew Brown.

Tampa's got Vita Vea and MJ Stewart

Tenessee got Rashaan Evans

Oakland got Brandon Parker 

KC also got Derrick Nnadi

Baltimore got Lamar Jackson, Hayden Hurst, Mark Andrews, Kenny Young, Jaleel Scott

Philly got Dallas Goedert, Avonte Maddox

Indy got Kemoko Turay. Jordon Wilkins

We got also Ray Ray McCloud

 

I think that's all of it but if not someone else can try lol

 

I don't want to speak for the OP but I believe the point of his thread was the players the Bills and Chefs wound up with as a result.  I mean, it's not like we're going to look back at the KC/Buffalo trade and say "Baltimore won that trade" are we?

Chiefs Get : 

QB Pat Mahomes (R1 pick 10, 2017)

 

Bills Get:

CB Tre White (R1 pick 27, 2017)

Pick 91 (R3 pick 91, 2017) packaged with other picks for trade up to 37.  Rams used pick on S John Johnson.  Bills go to (R2 pick 37, 2017) and select WR Zay Jones.

Pick 21 (R1 pick 21, 2018) packaged with other picks for trade up to 16.  Ravens traded out with Titans who used the pick on LB Rashaan Evans.  Bills go to (R1 pick 16, 2018) and select LB Tremaine Edmunds.

 

Esentially, after it was all said and done, it was Mahomes for Tre White, Zay Jones and Tremaine Edmunds.

 

Thank you.

 

Tre so far is great. Zay sucks. Tremaine looks promising. But let’s give it time to play out. I like Mahomes.

That's the laziest, worst, most inaccurate comparison I've ever seen. It's clear you didn't watch anything on either QB while they were in college.

Mahomes is far more athletic, more accurate, can read a defense, played against better competition, put up great numbers regardless of who he played against, and although he was in a spread, so was every other Texas Tech QB the last 20 years, yet none of them got drafted before the 5th round if at all. 

Graham Harrell put up better numbers than him, yet he was a practice squad guy for a couple years, then out of the league. Kliff Kingsbury, same thing. There have been so many, yet Mahomes gets drafted round 1 when nobody else was even considered worthy of a roster spot? Maybe you should recheck your analysis to understand why (that means watching the games).

 

Also, Mahomes carried those teams with next to no help on either side of the ball. They had to throw all over the place since TT's defense was ranked 128 of 128 in 2016...so dead last. Mahomes didn't have big play makers like Crabtree to lob the ball to, and had the ability to make his own changes on the field. Along with his 41 passing TD's his final year, he had 12 rushing, all while playing through injuries just to keep competing. To put it in perspective, Mahomes had the same amount of TD's in one year as Allen had in his entire career at Wyoming.

 

Actually his analysis was much better than yours. Mahomes does have worse footwork and arm talent when compared to Allen, I don't even think that is debatable. 

 

Mahomes is more athletic.....wrong, Allen is far more atheltic and it is not even close

Mahomes is more accurate.... wrong again. Both had perceived accuracy issues on tape in the general public but both QBs are pretty accurate. Mahomes showed more inaccuracy than Allen on tape, especially at the intermediate and deep level. 

Mahomes played better competition...... doesn't matter, Mahomes had huge windows to throw into and his offence was much more talented than the defenses he played against. Allens offense was far less talented than the defenses he played against. 

Mahomes can read a defense...... wrong again, he played in the Air Raid and it is hard to even find an example of him reading a defense. Allen did this all of the time. 

Mahomes carried the team..... wrong again, his WRs and RBs were stacked, numerous players on that roster had NFL talent. Coutee for example. 

 

It's clear you don't know how to evaluate QBs. It would be hard to find any true evaluator on a reputable site that had Mahomes rated higher than Allen.

I pushed for drafting Mahomes last year.  I am thrilled we passed on him, because Allen is the better prospect with fewer flaws to overcome.

I think Mahomes was more accurate between the 20s. Where Mahomes inaccuracy was apparent on the tape to me was redzone when those big wide open windows narrowed. Mahomes footwork was definitely worse. It was the worst footwork I have ever looked at in a serious NFL prospect. There was no consistency to where his back foot landed at all. There was some sign of improvement in that week 17 game last year but let's see if that holds up for a full season. 

 

Personally I did actually have Mahomes graded slightly higher but I had 3rds on them both. I thought they both had some issues that made them significant risks to succeed at the next level.

They were always going to be picked in the first round.  I don't know where your 3rd round grade comes from?  Players with their level of arm talent and mobility are considered projects but they are still 1st round projects.  Rudolph went in the third round because he was still considered a project but didn't have the arm talent or mobility that either Allen or Mahomes have.  I think you undervalue the position itself with your grading.  Teams are willing to take the risk to see if they can coach them up to that very high ceiling at the most important position in the game.

I think it's really funny that the OP says the "book is closed" on this trade before Mahomes or Edmunds have played one full season.

An obvious troll attempt, right? He can't actually be serious with that nonsense?

To be fair, a book IS closed before you open it to read the first page, right? ?

Mahomes trade? The Bills didn’t trade Mahomes. They traded the pick and weren’t taking a QB early last year. Based on knowledge of their board, they would have taken Lattimore, not Mahomes. McD just got there and the  whole FO was getting fired the next day. They were always taking one this year. Did Tampa trade Josh Allen?

For the life of me, I can't understand why people are misunderstanding the OP so much.

 

It's not like the OP was saying "the book is closed" as in "we now know everything we need to know to pass judgment on it". The OP was just saying that all of the moves that were made as a result of the trade that sent Mahomes to KC are now completed, so we will know the parameters of the trade in order to pass judgment on whether or not it was a good trade for either team once we know how those players pan out.

 

This is not rocket surgery, folks.

Bills weren't going to be drafting a QB on what was left of Whaley's scout team and Sean McDermott's defensive acumen were they ?
and why they traded away and then garnered 6 picks in the 1st 3 rounds ! awesome right there. and then still traded up last year. Who was it they picked again?

it's fun to discuss hypotheticals.

 But Mahomes will have a career in the NfL, and we sure hope Bills FO made the disciplined decisions for long term (3 years  lol ) success with how they managed last two drafts

Now if that could be successfully turned into a   " Process " map we would really have something !

 
But no question about Jokeman on this one.

My grade isn't about where I think they wil be picked. I know how the league works. My grades are entirely my take on what I see on their tape.

I was going to mention a bit about what you meant.  Glad you were able to clarify !
amazing how QB need drive players up the board with such zeal.


Because everyone wants one. Even the teams who have one look hard.

Hey ZeroVoltz,

 

Hows about we see how Mahomes and some of these other guys play before we declare the books closed?

Edit: OK, I see you meant something more limited than a common meaning of that phrase.

Tre hasn't really played?

 

I think he meant Edmunds.  Tremaine.  But I think he goes by Maine, not Tre?
