Chiefs feared Saints would take Patrick*Mahomes

And I do believe everything I hear on NFL.com. My nephew's an announcer there.

According to Loomis it's true....wow. Did they even factor how Brees would have felt about this? And Mahomes does not have Brees maturity furthermore. Talent only gets you so far but maturity wins championships. That's why Newton does not have one.

It makes me wonder if this FO is planning to move on from Brees before he retires? Why? Brees may say he can play until 45 but the FO is not gonna take that chance.

You forgot about our very own Drew Brees!!!!! First pick in rd 2.

The Chiefs almost get to the title game a year ago, and they trade up giving up a 1st next year, and draft a developmental QB. This is a prime example of an old coach, overly confident in himself, drafting himself out of a job in two years.

Drew is no dummy. He knows his days are numbered. Because of who he is we will get every ounce of him plus that added bit of motivation.

His days are numbered but it's still a big number.

I think the best move is to wait for the draft next year or get a young veteran who was drafted high with the right skill set but never worked out with the team he was drafted. Think an Alex Smith situation. He by all accounts was a great QB but never did anything until the coaching change over in SF. I would hope we could get someone better, I don't mean Alex Smith is great, but He got a lot better in a different scheme with different coaching. If anyone can bring the potential out of an underperforming QB it's Payton.
I think he may be in the league already. I would like to see what Payton can do with Foles.

I want to know if the chiefs started of trying to get ahead of the browns and we would not trade. That makes sense as to the reason they jumped ahead of us.

Did we turn down a boat load of picks including a first in 2018?

If so I am ticked.

Gotta lot of respect for Andy Reid...

But I cringe that we had him rated so high...

Never thought he was worth a dang in the post season though. Snake-Bit Andy.

The draft's water under the bridge. Andy saved us from making a stupid decision. Hey, what are friends for? Go Andy!
