I bring up Mahomes cause the Chiefs were ahead of the curve and drafted him even though they could've just kept adding around Alex Smith cause he was a proven, solid QB and they were comfortable with him. Just like how people on here say we don't need QB and we should keep drafting to help Dalton even they've done that the last 2 years and it failed. The Chiefs probably needed CB or LB but still took him cause they realized that just having a solid QB isn't enough and if you can add a premium talent, there's no reason not to do it.
I know why you brought up Mahomes. It is because he is one of the few that ended up being better than Dalton.
The fact is that the Chiefs were a 12 win team with a solid O-line and plenty of weapons on offense when they drafted Mahomes. It worked out great for them, but if you look around the league it is a very rare move. I guarantee that most other teams will continue to build around valuable veteran QBs instead of drafting a QB in the first round.
