They paid the right value to move up to 10 (no idea where overpaid comes from), but yeah it certainly is risky.

That's because it is apparently impossible for so many of you to stop looking for an agenda that isn't there. (speaking for only myself, as I won't for others)

If Mahomes starts in 2018 as expected, I am going to be a big Mahomo as well.

"aw but that impossuble cuz u liked Smiff" ... ... uhm.... NO.

Was getting time to move on. I just prefer it be Smith's choice, and he retire.

You're going to get the shit no matter what for being aggressively biased for a long period of time. Just deal with it.

I find it funny that some individuals in here is saying that KC has given up a lot to get Mahomes.

Buffalo's #10 pick value = 1,300.

KC's #27 pick value = 680.
KC's #91 pick value = 136.
KC's 2018 1st Round pick value = ?

So for now, KC only gave up 816 in terms of value. And if most people are projecting KC to go 10-6 or better, chances are that KC's going to land at pick #25 or lower.

So let's assume KC goes 11-5 and secures the 26th pick. That's valued at 700.

816 + 700 = 1,516. So maybe a loss of 216 in terms of value. It all hinges on how the Chiefs perform in 2017. All for 17 spots.

Is it really that significant?

Kansas City Chiefs: C+
Top needs: Running back, inside linebacker, quarterback

As I said on Thursday night, this class will hinge on Patrick Mahomes because Kansas City bet big that he's the successor to Alex Smith. Giving up a third-round pick and next year's first to move up 17 spots was a ton for a team with immediate needs elsewhere and some defenders getting up there in age. Mahomes has a high ceiling, but he's going to have to learn how NFL offenses are run, and the Chiefs are going to have to rebuild his mechanics from the ground up. Andy Reid and John Dorsey know what they're getting (and know what they're doing) and see some Brett Favre in Mahomes. And they have a capable quarterback in Alex Smith signed until 2019. This is a pick -- and grade -- that could look like great or silly in five or six years. The good news for the Chiefs is they hope the first-round pick they're giving up in 2018 is in the 28-32 range.

Tanoh Kpassagnon, a gigantic edge defender (6-foot-7, 289), is an intriguing, developmental prospect with upside, but there were better defenders available at that point in the second round. I thought he was more of a fourth-round pick. Kareem Hunt should help immediately alongside Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West. This is a kid who ran for more than 100 yards 28 times in his Toledo career. Needing to add some pass-catchers for Smith, all Kansas City came away with was Jehu Chesson, who underwhelmed in 2016 and was taken about 40 picks too high.

It really all comes down to Mahomes. You'd prefer not to give up so much draft value for a quarterback who shouldn't be in the immediate plans. In this case, the Chiefs felt they had no choice

It isn't significant if the pick pans out. This was a calculated gamble made by a GM and HC. It's what separates the winners from the losers in a high volatile market. Both know what it would do to their careers if they are wrong. They have enough experience I trust them even though Reid is a dumbass at play calling.

He's a project, but good lord, what a physical freak of a project he is...

I can't wait to see how this kid responds to Britt Reid's coaching...

He has all the upside in the world

But the good news is we have 3 years to decide if I am correct or wrong.

Actually, I think he's fairly comparable to Elway.

Have the toughest schedule to play, yet give up their 1st round pick in 2018. Who's our new NT now that Poe's gone?
