"There are so many ways to be successful, but for the most part you want a guy who's a pure thrower," Shanahan said. "There aren't very many of them on the planet, but ideally you look for a guy who's a pure thrower and who's fearless."

Sound like someone?

There's a lot I like for our first two picks. Can't draft them all, though.

Sounds like NY and zona are interested in him so I doubt he's there at 34. Wouldn't be surprised if Pitt goes for him at 30 either.

A team that has a older FQB seems like the best fit for him...he's not close to starting yr one but could be something in a couple yrs.
IMO Mahomes has the athleticism and work effort to clean up his footwork. There will be an adjustment period (like every (R) QB experiences) but the more I see the more I think he should be the pick at 2.
So it seems that If the ShaLyn Masters want " ManBone" Mahomes , they're gonna have to either drop back a bit in the first round or trade back into the first round to get him. Lots of moving parts to me.

Oh please no, I agree he's talented but he's too much of a project even for us. The WCO demands that you make the right throw at the right time, Mahomes is more off the cuff go for it all gunslinger.

You must be the type that likes to let it ride big in roulette.

Will be interesting to see how high he ends up going the closer we get to the draft.

Yeah, I don't know how we'd get him. I don't see the realistic path. He'd be coming to a great situation here though. Shanny. Vet on the team who knows the system. Mahomes could be stashed away, given a clipboard and told to watch for a year or two.

Here:


More like 70-73 yds, but still impressive :p

Then again yours truly threw a deep spiral 60 yds once :)

Yeah...I'm still in the wait until next yr bandwagon...I like the prospects more and I like the idea of going after Kirk/Jimmy G as well.

Build everything else this yr and go all in on a qb next yr

I don't think he gets past Pittsburg at #30 with Ben contemplating retirement. We'd have to get into the lower 20's I think to get him.

Yea, I'm guessing he will get picked before spot 22 in the first...

again say what you want the guy has more natural throwing ability than anyone in this draft, and is fearless. thats exactly word for word what kyle wants.

PS he has nice touch too
can sit in a pocket.

he actually needs only to work on his footwork. 41 tds and 1o ints says a little different than makes the wrong throws

I wouldn't mind a trade down with Panthers and take Mahomes at #8.
