KC traded up to get him because there was a ton of interest.
Well KC wanted to make sure they got him, but 9 teams passed on him.
If they could go back, most of the 9 would now grab him.
The experts were not that high on him, or he would have been a 1-3 pick.
I would be interested to see all the draft boards for teams from that year, and see where they had mahomes, and how interested they were in him.
It could be that only another team or 2 were looking to grab him, but they made no effort to move up.
I wonder who was picking at 11-13? those might be the ones KC thought would grab him, so they moved ahead of them.
KC gets credit for seeing more in mahomes than most other teams and experts, I wonder where he was on dallas board?
probably not even on the board, as we had stats prescott ! and jerry likes his guy, so no need for some guy named mahomes.
