The NFL doesn't think Mahomes is a first rounder.

I remember Aaron Rodgers at CAL...held the ball high near his earhole with both hands when dropping back...very robotic. Its as if they broke him down at GB...burned away the Tedford inlfuence...relaxed him...now he holds the ball low...casual...free floating in the pocket as he surveys the field...then he fires. Almost as if he were at park playing with some friends. I envision the same being the case for Mahomes who plays like that already. All he needs is work under center and experience which grows confidence.

And in retrospect, as much as it frustrated Rodgers, sitting for THREE years was the best thing for him. This draft crop needs to sit as well, at minimum a year or two. I wonder how Rodgers would have fared if he would have had to play right away or only after one year?......

This is why I trust Dorsey to find the right guy, and to allow for the right approach in development regardless of how long it takes.
You also wonder how Alex might have turned out if he had been given more time to develop instead of being thrown to the wolves surrounded by a shitty roster?...
