People are excited about him, and he's being talked about as a 1st round pick for all the reasons you carefully chose not to mention.

Exactly.
Our quarterback in 4 years is going to be one of two things - a physically limited guy we got in the 3rd/4th round who will be little more than a continuation of Alex Smith (i.e. Nate Peterman) or a guy with a ton of tools who has warts that the staff will have to either fix or work around (Mahomes, Webb).
There's not really an in-between for teams drafting late. You're not getting Andrew Luck yet with Mahomes you're getting a guy with that kind of arm talent who simply needs to learn to harness it.
He might fail. It's still worth the risk to find out.
