****2017 NFL Draft Thread**** (NO Spoilers)

[Dante84]

Let's ****ing do this.

Rules:
1. No spoiled picks in this thread, all weekend. This means that as tweets are leaking picks a few minutes before the selection is announced live, you don't post it in this thread (ex: embedded tweets), reference it in this thread (ex: Joe Slapdick says it's McCaffrey to Tampa) or hint at it (ex: "it's a RB!").

Don't be a dick.

Otherwise, have fun, talk shit, freak out and lose your goddamned minds. It's Draft Weekend. The hot takes in these threads are so funny.

I'll also be starting threads for each of our picks as they are made, with videos and notable stats/takes in the OP. Pure knee jerk gold to reference in the future.

Holy cow. I was dealing with an issue and figured I had time before the 27th pick. What the heck happened? What did Mahomes say? How did it go?

Mahomes versus Watson is going to be our conversation for the next decade.

Why didn't the Bills stay put and take Mahomes or Watson?

Is someone flying holy smoke over KC and we are high?

Depends if they still land a QB. Could still trade or draft one at 25. No chance it works though because Browns.

Facebook Chiefs fans are pissed, another good sign.

First time since 2005 there were no offensive linemen in the Top 12. That year Jammal Brown went 13 to NO. More often 3 taken by now.

Really depends on how he does but they likely sat down with Smith and said they wanted healthy competition but also him to mentor the QBOTF. 1 year doesn't seem like enough for this system. Mahomes is 21 and very raw. Needs work on his mechanics. We can afford both next season ~$23 million

Serve thy crow.

I can't wait to see all of the cap space next year once Smith, Hali, and DJ are gone.

Most of them are Alex apologist. They don't want their boyfriend to get booted.

[notorious]

He is everything that Alex isn't.

Polar opposites.

THis seemed desperate to me.

From The New York Times

10: Chiefs Trade Up to Get QB Patrick Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes, Quarterback, Texas Tech

Mahomes is a big brash guy who put up huge numbers in the Texas Tech offense in college. He has an ability to extend plays with athleticism, and then find players down field, he could develop into something special if a team can afford to be patient. He has probably the strongest arm in this draft.

How he fits: The Bills traded the No. 10 pick to the Chiefs for the 27th selection in this draft, a 3rd rounder, and Kansas City’s 2018 first rounder. The Chiefs made the move because they need a long-term solution behind Alex Smith. It seems like a perfect situation for Mahomes to learn the game.
