If they had drafted Mahomes, that would have been the dumbest possible thing to do. Nothing about him screams NFL quarterback, to me. Of course, my opinion doesn't matter to NFL GM's, but perhaps those geniuses should take a lot at the history of Texas Tech QB's, and ask themselves if it's reallllllly that good of an idea. Mike Leach always had his QB's put up video game passing numbers when he was there, at the expense of all other aspects of winning. Then one of his old QB's, Kliff Kingsbury, took over and ran pretty much the same offense, as you would expect. Not one quarterback has made it as a starter in the NFL from that system, to date. And Mahomes wasn't even as prolific as some of the others. I don't understand the hype with him. He's a better athlete than the others who've come from that system, but he wasn't a better player, and he won even less.

I can't imagine the Saints were actually thinking of drafting him, but thank goodness they didn't.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Chiefs way overpaid for Mahomes and he's a big gamble at #10

The fact that the Saints really wanted to pick him with number 11 just solidifies in my mind how stupid Sean Payton really is when it comes to the draft.

Who the hell says Payton wanted to pick him with #11? Where did you get that? From some media hack guessing?

Just wondering.

It's been reported enough and even the pga golfer in the saints war room said that they wanted him at #11. Why the hell do you think the Kansas City Chiefs moved up ahead of the Saints to get him - for ****z and giggles? Just wondering.

Do you really think they were gonna do that? I don't think they were. If they did, Brees would need one of his kids' pullups.

[quote=AsylumGuido;748268]You can discredit it all you want but that was reported by nfl.com. Just because SP or Loomis didnt say it doesnt mean it wasnt true. And why would the Saints care about using the chiefs? Were they afraid that the chiefs were going to pick Marshon Lattimore LOL! But that's okay. Not everyone can live in a narrow minded world like you.
