Payton selecting Nix all but confirmed his tenure in Denver will be short.

This was never a doubt

But Sean has embellished this over the years. He was never shy about trading up to get his guy, so if you felt that strongly about Pat, you go get him. You don’t sit back and say well I’m happy if I come away with him or lattimore

They had Mahomes and Lattimore graded pretty much the same.

You don’t grade a franchise QB and CB the same

Most NFL FOs would choose a good starting QB over even an all pro CB.

So again if you truly believed Mahomes was that dude, you go get him. You don’t simply say you’re good with either. This is why I think Sean is full of shite on this story and I’m still a Payton fan

We knew this already. I was so excited and then kc shows up on the clock. If we get Mahomet, payton is still here and we are going ro more super bowls. Instead, we have reverted back to what we used to be. An afterthought of a team and city.

This whole story is horse shite, it’s 1000% 20/20 hindsight or Payton making himself look like an idiot

It’s not horseshite

It’s been talked about since draft night in 2017 and 2018 seasons when Mahomes became the starter

If that’s true, then you make sure you get the quarterback, especially since yours, who the team is built around, is on his last legs.

This. All the times they traded up and tossed future 1s out the door, but when you have a chance to move up only a few spots to get your franchise QB you cross your fingers and wait? arse holes, all of them.

exactly...

it was reported THAT NIGHT that the Saints were targeting and likely taking Mahomes with their pick, but the Chiefs traded up and picked him first.....

is this really new news to some people here?

And the funniest part is people blame Sean Payton and his supposedly big mouth as to why the chiefs knew to jump the saints. When in truth, it was Mahomes himself who told the chiefs to jump the Saints

Reported by who? No team tells people who they plan to draft. There were rumors and Mahomes apparently told KC he was hearing from other teams but the horseshite part is Payton really wanted him. Well it’s either horseshite or him saying he’s an idiot. This guy traded back into the first to get a RB, Ingram, he traded up for project DE but somehow he was just going to sit pat and if a QB he thought was the “best prospect he’s every seen” draft him? Sorry I’m not buying and I don’t even care what he maybe says now, that’s nothing but 20/20 hindsight.

Remind me of the quarterbacks Payton actually drafted?

So the one quarterback the supposed quarterback guru thought would you be great is? But he didn't trade up high enough or at all to ensure he would get him? Lmao


Does he have to keep saying this to attempt to keep this auroa about him that he is the quarterback whisperer?

Reids got him beat, after all, reid got mahommes lmao

Maybe he can make Zach Wilson worth his draft stock

Not sure it was an embellishment. Some forgot that no one thought Mahomes would be selected that high at the time of the draft.
