He could have kept either or both. And he unapologetically shipped Smith off after seeing Mahomes play one game. Whatever stats/explanations/excuses you want to throw out there can't dispute that. Pretty sure the writing was on the wall for Alex once PM was drafted, not after playing a meaningless game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best, but consistently one of the best, one that led his team to wins, and that was constantly tasked to make lemonade out of lemons, something a lot of the "elite" quarterbacks haven't had success with. just out of curiosity, would you take Smith (pre-broken leg) over Mahomes if you were hypothetically given that option?

For sure. Watching Alex scramble out of phantom pressure in the Steelers playoff game while Tyreek was breaking wide open TWICE, was truly the final straw. Finding Mahomes at that point was just a rare situation where availability and timing converged perfectly. That game vs Denver was just the final dress rehearsal where I’m sure Andy said it’s time. I actually think we win that Titans game had we made move then. But that would have been the wrong thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming he was completely healthy and the entire league redrafted again, its almost certain Mahomes goes top 2-3. But where would Smith go? I'm guessing in the 100-150 range.

If you are just redrafting for a one season thing, I'd say 150 might be about right. That's late 4th. If you are doing a long term thing, his age would hurt him.

If you were drafting right now, current age and development factored in, for more than just this season, I think it's silly to say even top 2-3...who else would even be in the discussion? A QB would be first, Mahomes is already (at a minimum) the top QB younger than Rodgers, so it's choosing maybe 15 years of Mahomes vs. maybe 5 years of Rodgers or just a couple of years of Brady/Brees. If you were ONLY drafting for 2019 then I can see at least an argument for the other top QBs like Rodgers, but Mahomes would still be in consideration for #1...

Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Trading a spectacular talent who will always be a suspension or release risk is a good move. We could get a very high draft choice or two or three choices or move up to get one of the top players on the board. If any team can survive losing him, it is a team with a QB like Mahomes. Mahomes can make any good receiver great. Hill has great hands, but his biggest use is stretching the field. Any reasonably fast receiver will stretch the field, because it is about risk to the defense, not the actual deep completionsm which are few. If we can get a high choice for him, it would seem to be a net overall gain. I doubt he would go to anyone in our division, though. If he stays, it is win/win. We get him for a lot less money on his next contract, which I think happens, anyway. A blessing in disguise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But right now until this plays out he’s got little value. We’ve just gotta cross our fingers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
