This, from Steven Ruiz, USA TODAY, April 2017:


10. Patrick Mahomes, QB Texas Tech — Kansas City Chiefs (from Buffalo)
GRADE: C-
[font=Aleo, serif]Analysis: Calling Mahomes a project is a major understatement. He’s nowhere near ready to play in the NFL. And, honestly, he may never be. Between his inconsistent accuracy due to poor mechanics, his tendency to bail from clean pockets and his lack of field vision, he’s going to leave as many big plays on the field as he creates. This was a risky pick.[/font]

Think that’s bad? Check out theses draft grades and scroll down the the Seattle Seahawks. Pure gold.

I think if anything it just shows how crap the NFL has become

Those evaluations don't take into account the fact that it's now against the rules to play defense.

Was just perusing the draft talk on this board from March and April 2017.

A number of folks here liked Mahomes in the mid to late first round. A few of us even ranked him ahead of Trubisky - but no one thought the Jags would go QB early and no one thought a team would trade up as far as number ten for Mahomes.
