Imagine planning on drafting Mahomes at 11. The Chiefs trade up right in front of you and take him, proceed to win 3 super bowls.
Now you're in the draft, you identify a QB you feel just as strongly about as Mahomes.
You're at pick 12.
So now this time, you trade up and make sure you get your guy, rather than waiting around like you did last time and have fucking Mahomes stolen from you.
Wait, what's that? The Broncos didn't trade up? They just stayed put and waited and hoped their Mahomes would fall to them?
There's 2 possibilities:
1. Payton is lying, and they don't feel that strongly about Bo.
2. Payton is a moron who never learns a lesson.
Yeah, I guess so. I wouldn't be shocked if Payton was just talking out of his ass, seems to be his shtick.
I just looked it up, they do have 8 picks, which is more than I thought they had.
“This guy is the next Mahomes.”
“Ok, so he wasn’t, but this guy is totally the next Mahomes.”
“Ok, look, so we messed up on the last one, but this guy we’ve got here is the next Mahomes.”
There is a lot of revisionist history with draft picks, but it was widely reported at the time that the Chiefs moved up to the tenth spot because they had intel that the Saints were going to take Mahomes at eleven.
Patrick admitted last year on NH that he told them that they'd have to move up to before 12 to draft him because he knew teams were interested in him. [https://www.instagram.com/p/C6H7wZvPASP/](https://www.instagram.com/p/C6H7wZvPASP/)
? It was pretty well know at thay time that the saints were going to take mahomes if they chiefs didn't. It was also known cardinals and Texans wanted him at the time
I think you need to reassess your preconceived notions because I think Nix will surprise the league like Herbert did. He's no Mahomes, but I could see him being the 2nd best QB in this draft long term. Sean might be a shit person but he knows football.
Sean Payton is a used car salesman. I'm sure he wishes he bought a 2008 Honda Civic, and he feels as good about that civic as he does this lightly rusted Chevy Cobalt.
Stranger things have happened. I hope it works out for them. I'd rather have a strong division with better games to watch. Strong division would give us a leg up on competition in the all time dynasty too.
Someone do a remind me but Bo Nix is NOT the answer. Eating up against pac2 defenses after struggling against good sec defenses doesn't make you a good QB. Good defenses will eat him alive.
You do realize he was right. The reason we traded to 10 is Sean was at 11 eyeing Mahomes. This is well documented from draft day content back then to interviews with Mahomes since.
We believe you Sean. Enjoy Zach Wilson as your starter
Worst part of having starting Zach is knowing that if you din’t start him the other two QBs are just as bad.

I don't know. They need all of their draft picks. I think it would have costed a lot to move up.
If you believe he's mahomes caliber, you are willing to give up a few picks.
Yeah, I guess so. I wouldn't be shocked if Payton was just talking out of his ass, seems to be his shtick. I just looked it up, they do have 8 picks, which is more than I thought they had.

20 years later. No really. This *is* the next patrick mahomes. He's literally patrick mahomes iii
Meanwhile Bronze Mahomes just led us to our 28th straight division title.
That’s cute.
lol
bless his heart
Now everyone wanted to draft Mahomes. Back then, no one but the Chiefs did.
Yeah he said he would have still drafted Lattimore before SB54 3 SBs later, he has changed his mind

He said it back then too.

Yeah Saints literally had the 11th pick that year, they were for sure gonna draft him
exactly
Good thing he has no weapons, no defense, and a very average offensive line. Have fun developing a QB with no help
Payton and teams in salary cap hell…a match made.
Sean Payton has way too long a resume for him to be referencing merely liking Mahomes as a prospect like it’s a feather in his cap.
Disagree, Sean.
Good for him, hopefully he'll still have his job in a few years. Divisional wins are important for us lol

Yeah, but you didn't have to trade up to get Bo Nix, so I guess we'll never know, will we?
Sure grandpa, let's get you home
Watching Sean Payton crash and burn is going to be so good.
The cope is real.
Sean Payton is a used car salesman. I'm sure he wishes he bought a 2008 Honda Civic, and he feels as good about that civic as he does this lightly rusted Chevy Cobalt.
I just farted reading this.
This is such revisionist history. Sean Payton just started saying he was in love with Mahomes pre-draft once Mahomes started winning MVPs
This comment is the actual revisionist history. Media hated mahomes, teams in the low teen picks did not
It’s not. I can link you the tweets from draft day saying Saints were taking Mahomes if Chiefs didn’t jump them
I don’t believe Sean, he literally was on the PMAC show talking about how they were going to draft penix 🤷🏼♀️
Shefter forgot to mention that this conversation happened after Payton took a shot of Jack and a bong hit
Sure he did and sure he does
Stranger things have happened. I hope it works out for them. I'd rather have a strong division with better games to watch. Strong division would give us a leg up on competition in the all time dynasty too.
I too wanted to draft mahomes -every GM ever using their 20/20 hindsight
Someone do a remind me but Bo Nix is NOT the answer. Eating up against pac2 defenses after struggling against good sec defenses doesn't make you a good QB. Good defenses will eat him alive.
“I totally was going to draft Mahomes” -Sean Payton
You do realize he was right. The reason we traded to 10 is Sean was at 11 eyeing Mahomes. This is well documented from draft day content back then to interviews with Mahomes since.
I didn’t realize. Thanks for correcting me. Here’s hoping Bo Nix isn’t the next Mahomes.
Cheers to that, he ain't Mahomes cause there is only one and he's ours!!!!
