if mahomes went to chicago and immediately played week 1 in 2017, instead of sitting all of 2017 behind alex smith and andy reid to fix the shit he was bad at in college (his football knowledge), is he still going to the hall of fame? i have no idea
watson immediately started in 2017, has played for bad coaches his entire career, and has had #1 receiver taken away from him.... and he's still really damn good regardless. waston has shown that he'd be good on any team, and in any situation, because his situation is already shit lol. we honestly don't know that for mahomes. if mahomes went to the jets, is he still good? i have no fucking idea. i do for watson. watson already plays for the jets lol
the nfl draft is no different than your fantasy draft. you weigh out the floor vs the ceiling you can get out of the player. clearly the ceiling for mahomes was higher, and it was considered that way in the pre-draft evalutation as well, but watson had the highest floor of all the qbs in that draft... which is a top 10 qb, at least. that's an amazing floor
and don't argue what i'm not saying. mahomes is pretty much already in the hall of fame
