What Happened to the 9 Players Drafted Before Patrick Mahomes?

Really what can you say about Patrick Mahomes? At just 28 years old - he’s won 3 super bowls, 3 Super Bowl MVPs, 2 NFL MVPs, 1 offensive player of the year, 5 pro bowls - the dude is arguably the greatest quarterback in NFL history. He’s won back to back Super Bowls and his team didn’t even have an actual wide receiver on the roster! But maybe the craziest thing about his career? He wasn’t the number one overall pick…he was barely in the top 10. So, looking back on the 2017 NFL draft, who were the nine players that teams thought were better than Patrick Mahomes and how have their careers panned out? Well let’s get into it!

I think, you need someone too add some comedy to the script. It would make it a bit more interesting.

Best draft pick? Not Brady at 199?

If it wasn’t for Andy Reed, I think Mahomes wouldn’t be as good as he is right now.

Andy Reid had 0 rings before Mahomes and KC was a losing franchise for decades. Both needed each other, like Brady and Belichick did for both to succeed and win multiple SBs.
