For Joki:
Enjoy Patrick Mahomes while you've got him, Red Raider fans
As if Texas Tech's offensive line and defense weren't incentive
enough, Mahomes was just ranked the second-best quarterback for
the 2017 draft by ESPN's Mel Kiper. On top of that, Oklahoma
State's Mike Gundy compared Mahomes to Dak Prescott.
Do you think citing the biggest rookie success story in Cowboys
history was Gundy's subtle way of suggesting Mahomes might like
to turn pro?
For the record: Mahomes is more athletic than Prescott. How do
we know? He doesn't even need to set up properly to deliver the
ball on target, and with something on it. Of course, it doesn't
mean he'll have the same success, at least not right away.
Prescott inherited a unique situation, and he has great
intangibles.
But Mahomes is a smart kid, too. Honor student, in fact. He has
three games left this season, maybe four if he can figure out a
way to win two of the next three against Oklahoma State, Iowa
State and Baylor.

That was a good read. Trubisky looks like the cream of the
crop. Kizer is big but only 20, Watson is not so big and not so
accurate. I am intrigued about Mahomes. Anyone seen him play?

I've seen about 8 games featuring Mahomes. He is the #1 QB in
terms of passing yardage.A lot of TDs and he can run the ball
effectively. What amazes me most is his improvisation skills
which he needs with the crappy OL he plays behind. He can
scramble and throw across his body with accuracy and
power.Amazing arm. If he played for big name college he could
easily be the 1st QB taken. He's the only QB whose team can
score 55 pts. and still lose. Maybe we take him with our 2nd
rounder if he's still there. Better than all the rest.

Well apparently Mahomes was injured last week and he reinjured
himself and wasn't himself when he came back today. Cant say
what the problem is but his value has just went down. Doesn't
look better than what we already have.

Jake Elliott, either in the 7th or as an UDFA...Connor Barth
isn't cutting it for me...

This year...yes. Next year...not really.
We'll have Grasu back to provide depth for Whitehair, Sitton and
Long. Leno is not a pro bowler but rarely gets any credit for
very solid play at the toughest spot on the O-line. Massie
could be upgraded with a 3rd or 4th round right tackle type
eventually. We need someone to replace Adams.
