KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Nothing the Kansas City Chiefs saw in training camp or the preseason from quarterback Patrick Mahomes II suggests they should have buyer's remorse about trading up to draft him in the first round this year. Indeed, on several occasions during the summer, Mahomes showed the skills that led the Chiefs to make their move to get him.
The Chiefs are still forced to confront the issue of whether they made the right call with Mahomes on Sunday night when they face the Texans in Houston. The Chiefs could have drafted a different quarterback, Deshaun Watson, who eventually went two picks later to the Texans with the 12th overall pick.
