You got me, I said 31 instead of 29. The Giants wanted to reward their boy and Mahomes was considered an extremely raw prospect who might boom or bust by most of the world when they had Smith on the roster. You are technically correct, BUT, typically number one overall picks don't sit anymore. The contracts aren't long enough for one. For two, it only makes sense to do that if you believe that your roster is SB worthy. Whoever is going to be under center in 2020 is going to need some help in order to sustain drives.
