Seriously.
Every thread I see is "draft a blue-chip defensive player in the 1st and Mahomes in the second - maybe even trade up for him."
Maybe I'm missing something, so explain it to me.
I see a player with gaudy stats - see: every Texas Tech QB for the last two decades - grossly inflated by a gimmicky super-spread offense with very little experience as a pocket passer and production that was largely accumulated against a league filled with suspect (at best) defenses.
What is even more bizarre, a lot of his supporters seem to be Watson detractors. Except... they're sort of the same player.
"Doesn't play in an NFL offense." Neither does Mahomes.
"Makes a lot of questionable, risky throws." So does Mahomes.
"Runs too much; needs to develop more as a pocket passer." So does Mahomes.
The only difference is that Watson has absolutely shredded the best defense in football - stacked with NFL-level talent, mind you - two years running.
So what is it about Mahomes besides the TD numbers that you folks actually like?
