Those GMs had those QBs as their top guys. It’s not like Andy Reid was going to trade up to 10 to get Trubisky. It was Mahomes all the way, because Reid actually knows what he’s doing.
We could go round and round, right? You could respond with something like, “Well, there were 9 GMs who didn’t take Mahomes.”
Ok, ok, fine. The point is that Pace sucks at evaluating QBs, and saying “But the mock drafts!!” is a lame-as-shit excuse. You’re the GM. You’re paid to get it right. Pace continuously does not. He sucks at it, no matter what the mock drafts say or don’t say.
