This week’s film breakdown analyzes why 9 NFL teams passed on drafting Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes came out of Texas Tech and entered the NFL draft in 2017, but after several QB needy teams passed on him, he’s only gone on to have the greatest start to a career in NFL history. He had great stats at Texas Tech, so why would the NFL overlook him as a prospect? This week’s episode uses the all-22 coaches film to analyze why NFL teams passed on drafting Mahomes in 2017.

Any team that put the losing record on Pat doesn’t is clueless. The Red Raider offense required perfection to win games because when the defense gives up 70 to Iowa State, no offense can come away with a win.
Great channel
I won my bet of $1k from my friend when Patrick Mahomes pre draft. The bet was if The Chiefs picks up Patrick Mahomes with andy reid in office, with kelce and the cheetah, he was gonna dominate the league and be the future HOF within a year or two of starting". I won that bet but i never got paid🤣
I have a lifetime od bragging rights
Hope Tyreek is watching this one
Footwork is that niche term that people who know nothing about quarterback play over use to sound like experts. Most college qbs are shotgun qbs which eliminates most of thinking and habits of footwork.
"You might find the next Patrick Mahomes"…I wish you luck.
I would call Tom Brady going in the 6th round an NFL draft failure.
All you would have had to have told me as a GM…
"This Mahomes kid had an 800 yard game."
"Come again? Was it against the school of the deaf and blind that has four words and a hyphen in the name?"
"No. Against Oklahoma."
"Well, I've heard enough."
Obviously, I'm joking. If college records mattered then Case Keenum should have been a way better NFL QB than he is.
If Texas Tech was better Patrick Mahomes could've won the NATTY
"Why do we keep getting these evaluations wrong?"
Because scouts never take into account that this player can actually improve and get better, or if the organization and coach he's going to can help him. Mahomes went to the perfect spot in KC, and he sat and learned.
Patrick mahomes is going be dangerous this year he going destroy defences bro on line of scrimmage his scrambling is scary & 👀 down field consistently 🔫💪 Slinger underneath too over the top 💪🏈🔥🙏☝️if you don't get mahomes on ground u in trouble mahomes need keep scrambling keep 👀 down field make play #15 ❤️💛going awsome go chiefs 🔥❤️💛 & go chiefs kingdom 💛❤️ Red kingdom 🔥🔥❤️💛 let's go super bowl NFL in trouble with this dude for next 6-9 years 😲😱🏆💍🏟️🌎gonna know mahomes is best ever scrambling & 👀 down field great decision making Yds & TDS are going go up 50 TDS & 5,000 yds go chiefs let's break more records for next 6-9 years go chiefs ❤️💛🔥😍🏟️ stadium is best ever 🔥 let's go ❤️💛🔥
He wasn’t teams was interested in him it was when they would take him, Watson and Lamar and Allen was in winning teams so they pushed them in the draft, I know it’s a form of click bait but the dude went 10th overall not 6th round.
Also he had no weapons in Texas Tech which also can explain his abandoning "easy looks" because he probably already knew a tight window ball probably wasn't gonna get caught. He knew they virtually had to be wide open . Literally none of his wrs are starters in the nfl.
I served lunch to the Chiefs front office the October before Mahomes was drafted. Veach(now GM) could not stop talking about Mahomes
I still think Mahommes makes awkward throws when he doesn’t have to and that could cost the team dearly.
Thanks NFL for passing him up. But wait Tua Tagovailoa is supposed to be better than him. Wow did the Chiefs %uck up?
The Chiefs obviously didn't
So I watched the game he came in for the guy who got hurt . And I literally wanted the chiefs to draft him after that game . I'm a Mizzou fan but the stopped showing all their games only caught big 12 I hated Texas, OU but yeah . Lol I never thought we would draft him I knew we where going to win the SB with mahomes
teams seem to make assumptions about guys regarding the systems they played in the schools they played for. you wouldn't think this would happen at the pro level but a lot of guys in position of power in organizations, and this is true of most sports, are straight up frauds. They have no business picking talent and you would have just as much success picking a random dude up off the street to run your organization. they have as much insight.
Hes definitely good however without question it's the coaching and talent that really allows him to shine,because on tape he misses throws no quarterback 3 or more years in should be. Still so much talent so tough to defend
Nobody failed anything. Mahomes went to the perfect situation. Andy Reid the QB guru. Playing behind Alex Smith. Having an offense built to succeed before he ever got there. It's all situational. If Bears had taken Mahomes, he would've been a bust. They would've ruined him. It's all about the team situations.
They didn't "MISS" anything. Mahomes got lucky to be drafted by Andy Ried who had experience coaching a mobile QB and didn't thrust Mahomes into a Pro-style system rite away. Mahomes is always in shotgun, just like he was in college. Plus Mahomes had the luxury of sitting a year and learning from a cerebral QB in Alex Smith, I really think that helped him ALOT. I like watching Mahomes, but if he was drafted by most other teams he would not have developed.
Mahomes is so good because of Alex Smith. . . Obviously Andy and co but NO other QB in the NFL would have made a better predecessor. Smith is extremely smart(an actual genius,) as humble and friendly as they come, was taught everything by Andy Reid, and has that way about him. That way that made Andy bring him to KC in the first place. Mahomes wouldn't be the QB he is today without Alex Smith, period.
The NFL didn't "fail the Patrick Mahomes evaluation," Mahomes was always a project pick through and through. Yes, the upside was great and spectacular, but if he got drafted by at least 26 of the 32 teams in the league, he's a bust within two years. Why? Because the Chiefs had Alex Smith and Andy Reid, alongside Kelce and Hill. Mahomes was allowed to sit a year and develop, learning from Smith and Reid. He had a HoF TE to throw to as well as the most dangerous receiver in the league (who'll probably go to the HoF as well). Mahomes is great, yes, but if he doesn't have those things, his career, at best, looks wildly different, more akin to Josh Allen's (two shit to mediocre seasons and then a rise in the third year with the acquisition of Steffon Diggs and working on his mechanics).
There's a reason that it's more than legitimate to point-out that Mahomes has had probably the best situation surrounding him any young quarterback's had in at least the last 20 years, if not the entirety of the NFL. Mahomes isn't a flawless player, his issue of putting himself in precarious situations with shit pocket presence and footwork still obviously exist, and his mechanics go out the window for a bit every season for whatever reason. He, and Reid as well, also have a seriously awful habit of refusing to take what the defense gives them, trying to force things, which screws them over. And while I'm not saying Hill "made" Mahomes, Hill definitely bailed Mahomes out more times than anyone could ever count, including the countless, and I mean fucking countless, underthrows from Mahomes.
Mahomes is great, obviously (although I'd still have Rodgers atop the mountain, and there's at least an argument for Josh Allen as well, but I think that'll be settled this season). However, the issue isn't that teams didn't recognize his talent, it's that they don't have the structure in order to draft wickedly talented prospects and have them turn into Mahomes-type players. The Giants tried to do it with Daniel Jones and failed, Denver tried it with Lock and failed, the Jets tried it with Darnold and failed. The 49ers are trying it with Lance, and we'll see how that goes. The Jets are also doing it with Wilson, the Titans will do it with Willis, etc. Mahomes had the raw talent, but his situation was, again, probably the best for a young QB in the history of the league, and that can't go understated in how monumentally important it was making Mahomes who he is today.
