The Chiefs have acquired the No. 10 pick in the draft from the Bills. With the pick, the Chiefs have selected quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs gave up their first (No. 27) and a third round pick (No. 91) plus their first round pick in 2018 to move up to No. 10, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets.
Mahomes completed 65.7-percent of his passes last season for 5,052 yards, 41 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Over the past three seasons, he’s also added another 22 rushing touchdowns.
Opinions on Mahomes and the rest of the quarterbacks this year have varied, but he was universally considered to be one of the five best QBs in the 2017 crop.
Andy Reid must have really like Mahomes. I thought sure they were wanting McCaffery
He was already off the board though.
Why has Allen slid so far? If Cleveland passes on Watson and packages their seconds to get him later in the first Allen would be scary with Garrett for many years.
Texas Tech quarterbacks haven’t been very successful in the NFL. I’ll be interested to see if Mahomes can buck that trend and succeed.
