Rigotz Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 When Pat Mahomes was lighting the world on fire last year, I found myself extremely aggravated that we didn't pick him at #10 in the 2017 NFL draft. This year, I've found peace with the idea that he's not on our team and here are the top 10 reasons why: 1. With the first pick in the 2017 draft, the Cleveland Browns (who needed a QB) didn't take Mahomes. 2. With the second pick in the draft, the Chicago Bears TRADED UP to take Mitch Trubisky. 3. With the fourth pick in the draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars, who needed a QB, took Leonard Fournette. 4. With the fifth pick in the draft, the Tennessee Titans stuck with Marcus Mariotta and took Corey Davis instead. 5. With the sixth pick in the draft, the Jets (lol), who needed a QB, took Jamal Adams 6. With the 7th pick in the draft, the Chargers took Mike Williams instead of an heir to Phil Rivers. 7. With the 9th pick in the draft, the Bengals picked John Ross instead of Patrick Mahomes. 8. All of these same teams ALSO passed on Deshaun Watson. 9. Yes, we traded down and didn't get Mahomes, but we DID get Tre White and a future first round pick. 10. That future first round pick (combined with others) turned into Josh Allen, who at the very least has more upside at QB than anyone we've had in a long time. Hope this makes you all feel a little better as well. 8 2 4 6
RoyBatty is alive Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Ahh the eternal regrets of a Bills fan. Waiting for someone to mention how we are still reeling from not picking up Buffalo Native Gronk in the 2nd or Brady in the 5th.
Seasons1992 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I like me some Josh Allen, but he currently isn't the dime that P-M is. Josh is a fun "7" currently. I'll take a "10" all day and night (crazy dimes need not apply). 1 1 2
Mark Vader Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I've never felt bad about Patrick Mahomes. I wanted the Bills to trade down in the Draft that year. Once they did, I was the loudest and happiest Bills fan in Philadelphia. GO BILLS!!! 2

row_33 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) he is held hostage by Andy Reid crapping the bed in every close important game hopefully against the Bills in the playoffs this year or next Edited October 11, 2019 by row_33 3

Rocbillsfan1 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 don't forget that the Bills missed out on Rodgers because they went with JP Losman the year before. 3
Tenhigh Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 His mere existence rid us of Zerovolt AND Jeffysmagic. All hail Mahomes!!! 3

Jeffismagic is gone; after the Bills passed on Mahomes, he couldn't take it any more and left after the draft. I remember the non stop lobbying for Mahomes...just relentless. 1

Hope this makes you all feel a little better as well. You have given this a lot of thought. I assume the is the final stage of grief, acceptance.

Bangarang Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 If Allen is great then passing on Mahomes won’t be a big deal. If not then it’ll be like passing on Russell Wilson for TJ Graham. 1 1
RaoulDuke79 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) I quit thinking about Mahomes after we didn't draft him, and quite frankly I didn't think about him that much beforehand. Neither did most people or he would've been a consensus #1. Edited October 11, 2019 by RaoulDuke79 6

dakrider Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I wonder how many old Baltimore Colts fans still lament the trading away Elway.... ? 3
