KC traded up for Mahomes because they knew they wouldn't be able to get a QB next year. Don't forget, the Chiefs wanted Lynch last year and they knew they couldn't afford to miss out on QB's in 2016, 2017, AND 2018. They were desperate to find Alex Smith's replacement, ASAP.

If the Chiefs really wanted Lynch they would have traded more resources to get him with Dorsey's long time colleague from GB John Schneider.
The fact that the Chiefs didn't offer much (or anything) to trade up for Lynch but then gave up what they did for Mahomes tells you all you need to know.
Bottom line is Paxton Lynch was a QB KC liked. Pat Mahomes was a QB they loved.
