    "There's nothing like Proclamation Season, with coaches and players hyping the potential of unheralded individuals at every turn. Typically, I just ignore these shout-outs, chalking them up to offseason fodder. But occasionally, some of the bluster -- when it's bold, but also sensible -- grabs my attention.

    After hearing former*Kansas City Chiefs*edge rusher*Tamba Hali*raving about*Patrick Mahomes*on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football" this week, I'm beginning to buy into the hype that's swelling around the second-year quarterback.

    "You're going to get a complete player,"*Hali said. "I mean, he's a smart player. He can throw the ball. Athletically, he's gifted. You don't have to coach it. In practice, I'd watch him just look guys off.*Eric Berry, you look him off and complete the ball. He did it to*Marcus Peters*a lot. People don't know what's coming. I don't want to hype him, but I compare him to Brett Favre. He runs around the field and he throws the ball and he's just having fun."

    Whoa!"

    I liked him coming out of the draft more than any other QB. Anxious to see how he does.

    I used to play his dad in bball, football, and baseball. He was great at everything but I was surprised that he had such a decent MLB career.
    And that Paul Thomas didn't.

    His game is nothing like Kaepernick.

    The article had Favre comparisons but I think he's more like Donovan McNabb tbh

    3-4 rounds are you serious? This is a guy you take in like the 14-16 range.

  11. #11
    He has a tough schedule to start the season. I could see him catching fire week 5 on and being waiver wire gold

    Lol I'll hold out until late rounds if I can for sure but if I get the sense he might go I don't mind going as high as 3-4 round pick

    I've got 3 leagues from $500 to 1200 and I'm pushing all my chips in on getting wrs/rbs in the first few rounds and then Patrick.

    It'll be fun lol

    I don't see that happening. Someone will take him in the late rounds as a second QB and hold him.

    New Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has seven INTs in six practices



    ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- Patrick Mahomes made a choice early in Wednesday's training camp practice that the Kansas City Chiefs' starting quarterback immediately regretted.
    With the offense close to the goal line, Mahomes dropped to pass but had a running lane so wide he could have scored the touchdown himself. Mahomes instead threw into the end zone, where the pass was intercepted by reserve defensive back Leon McQuay.
    "That was on me," Mahomes said. "I easily could have run in it. We were in a live period and I kind of didn't want to hear the defense talking trash to me for running it in because they can't tackle me [during practice]. So I threw the ball. ... You just have to play the game how it's supposed to be played [and] don't try to force something in because they can't tackle you. It's just something I have to learn from, and hopefully in a game I just run it in.
    "That's the first thing I said when I came to the sideline: I could have run it. [The coaches] said, 'Then just do it. Don't train bad habits.' ... That was the play that needed to be made on that one."

    New Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes had three interceptions during Wednesday's training camp practice, giving him seven in six sessions. "He had a few hiccups today," offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said. AP Photo/Orlin WagnerIt was a learning moment for Mahomes and a mistake he might not make again. But it's not the only mistake he has made in camp. He threw two other interceptions Wednesday and has seven in six camp practices. Six of the picks have come during the three practice sessions in pads, when play is most compe ive.
    "He had a few hiccups today," offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said. "But that's a part of the process. When you're young you need those hiccups because they become valuable lessons. ... Would we like for him to be perfect? Yes. We'd like for him to have the highest quarterback rating ever. ... He just needs to be poised under pressure."

    That's another mistake Smith rarely made, if ever.
    "Being able to get in and out of the huddle, calling the right plays and then not making a bad play worse is something I've got to keep getting better at," Mahomes said.
    "I have to eliminate those mistakes. It's something that can be described as a learning process. Hopefully I make those mistakes now and don't make them in the game."
    Despite the six camp interceptions, Bieniemy said he's not seeing Mahomes repeat any of his mistakes. They're all the result, he said, of different factors.
    He also said he's convinced Mahomes won't throw another interception when such a big running lane is available.
    "He even said, 'I could have run it,'" Bieniemy said. "I said, 'Listen, they all count the same. Six points is six points. If you can run it, go get it.'"

    Oh there's no doubt Mahypes will be pulling up INTs but he'll also be piling up passing and running yards, playing a lot of come from behind football during that tough stretch
