Looking back would you rather Patrick Mahomes? Enjoy the game Monday Night game. He will be the Chiefs QB.

Saying the Saints were going to pick him is a bit overstated. A person in the "war room", not involved in any decision making, (an ex-player or such from what I remember reading) said something of the sort. It was also reported that the possibility was entertained, as well as others, but was never any sort of a given.

Payton knew that he had Drew for as long as he wants him (two to three more years at least) and was in win now mode already. A first round QB would eat up far too much cap to be sitting behind Brees in that scenario.

All that said, it will be interesting to see what becomes of Mahomes and his early performances as the season progresses.
