KC and Mahomes have to be the favorite at this point, don't they? First four years of his career: Four AFC title games, two or three Super Bowls, and maybe two titles. Draft needs are different for every team, but that's a pretty solid start to Round 1 in 2017.
1. Miles Garrett (DE)
2. Mitch Trubisky (QB) whoops
3. Solomon Thomas (DE - Niners pick)
4. Leonard Fournette (RB)
5. Corey Davis (WR)
6. Jamal Adams (S)
7. Mike Williams (WR)
8. C Mac (RB)
9. John Ross (WR)
10. Mahomes (GOATish looking QB)
Did the Niners trade for Jimmy G before or after the 2017 draft? Switch QBs and the Niners crush the Chiefs the last time, if the Chiefs even get there without Mahomes.
Mega Josh Allen fan here, but I don't know if he will ever win, or even compete in, a Super Bowl. Father Time gets all of us. Pretty soon, running won't be as big a part of his arsenal. Will experience and game savvy fill that hole, like it did for John Elway? I certainly hope so, but that is not automatic.
Also, when you run as much as he does, there is a substantial and constant risk of season ending injuries, especially given the ridiculously long NFL season. We Wyoming football fans already known that Allen is one hit away from being out for the rest of the year, despite his size.
Then you figure in the NFL salary cap. Mahomes already has more weapons than Allen has. Will the Bills make wise enough roster moves to deal with the lower and lower cap space left by Allen's contract? Personally, I kind of like the Buffalo area, but it is a challenging place to recruit free agent talent to.
Bottom line: None of us knows how the planets will line up in future years. Allen may never get another shot.
What we do know is that there was a clear path to a possible Super Bowl win for Buffalo with 13 seconds left in Sunday's game. So I will repeat what I was yelling then:
Don't kick it deep. Squib it.
What the Bills did at that point was monumentally stupid. There may never be another chance. I hope there is, but none of us is promised tomorrow.
Yep. Just ask Dan Marino……
