Most of these guys haven't made definitive statements one way or another. They have until mid January to declare whether or not they will go into the draft and I think they are getting advice, taking their time and seeing who else is entering the draft.

If Rudolph is my number one, Mahomes is my number two.
They can't be more diferent in style.
Rudolph is methodical and does not put the ball in harms way, Mahomes is the opposite any snap is a potential big play.
Elite arm strength, lightning fast delivery and risk taker.
To Mahomes doesn't matter if there is a single coverage, double ou triple coverage.If the oportunity is there this guy will take it.
Mahomes is the resemblence of Favre type of play

The Dak Prescott of the upcoming draft? How much development as a passer has he improved each year (compared to Prescott)? I saw one draft site compare him to Stafford.

He doesn't look enough like a pudgy Chad to be Stafford. He's got the arm and gunslinger mentality, but he's less developed reading coverage. He trusts his arm to take a lot of chances (that's likely where the Stafford comparison comes from). Most physical potential of any QB in the draft, with an aggressive mentality and top end ability to bounce back from mistakes.
RAW.

Taking him calls for a bridge QB for a year or 2..no way he's ready to step in right away and play..he will have to learn more..he has a lot to love but not fully there yet..2nd round pick all day..

If he is drafted, I'd have him.sit two years minimum. I have always been a fan of the way Joe Montana and Steve McNair were eased into the starting positions for their respective teams. Still would prefer Garrapolo, but Mahomes is my 3rd fav QB in this draft.

Draft him round 2. Get a bridge qb and have him sit 1-2 years. He has a cannon. Just needs to improve his footwork & mechanics. But i see a gem

Struggles reading defense, issues with footwork and mechanics?

Needs some work, but I like him a lot. Could be a steal if he puts in the work. Reminds me of up sized Russell Wilson

Oh.....that's all?
Mahomes might have one of the steepest learning curves of any QB in the draft, even for an Air Raid QB he needs a whole lot of work. If you're drafting him, you're planning on sitting him for a couple years and getting his mechanics up to a passable level in the NFL.

Pretty much official.

Walked into #TexasTech football facility and I see NFL agent Leigh Steinberg ... pretty good indication on what Mahomes has decided.
