Top NFC Scout Discussing Tough Pat Mahomes Evaluation

One of the most intriguing prospects in the 2017 NFL Draft is Texas Tech quarterback Pat Mahomes II. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder is a talented athlete with a rocket arm and an ability to improvise into big play. Mahomes comes from a college spread offense and will have a big transition to the NFL. Thus, he is a highly debated prospect with some teams that love him and other teams that skeptics.

Sources from multiple teams have raved about Mahomes' personal makeup. They have said he's a great kid and they like his work ethic with leadership potential. He shined in the team interviews. Here is the list of teams that Mahomes met with in Indianapolis: Bills, Texans, Bears, Browns, Vikings, Chiefs, Saints, Giants, Jets, Steelers, Chargers, 49ers, and Redskins.

Mahomes' transition to the NFL is still a hotly debated topic. WalterFootball.com spoke with a top scout on a NFC team picking in the top 20 that could take a quarterback in the early rounds. The scout had some interesting things to say, which illustrate why Mahomes is such a difficult evaluation.



Thus, you can see that Mahomes is a very challenging evaluation for NFL teams with a lot of mixed emotions and thoughts about him translating as a pro.

6.75 in the 3-cone drill for Dobbs. Would have been good for 2nd among RBs after McCaffrey.

Dobbs did that drill after dominating in the on-field passing drills.

That should let you know he didn't go all out on the 40. He only let his elite athleticism show once he got word from his agent that teams were blown away by his passing.

Smart strategy by Dobbs and his agent. :ohlawd:

This is like scouts celebrating the fact Trubisky measured in at barely 6'2".

If his agent didn't put out the false story that he was possibly 6'1" rather than the 6'3" he's listed, you wouldn't hear people saying he made money at weigh ins cause he came in at 6'2".

That was the most ridiculous mental gymnastics I've ever seen at the combine. A guy gets celebrated for being under his listed college height. Makes no sense.

Cowboys Plan Defensive Draft, Adoree' Jackson In Play at 28

What a difference a year makes. A year ago at the NFL Scouting Combine, the Cowboys had the fourth-overall pick with a number of issues to address for the future of the franchise. Dallas' front office hit a home run in the 2016 NFL Draft by landing young franchise quarterback Dak Prescott in the fourth round after taking star running back Ezekiel Elliott in the opening frame. Playing behind the best offensive line in the NFL, Dallas' young duo led them to the top-seeded team in the NFC before falling in an epic playoff game against the Packers. In speaking with members of the Cowboys scouting staff, Dallas is inclined to have more of a defensive draft in 2017.

The Cowboys could look to upgrade a few places on their defense. Last year, Dallas was close to drafting cornerback Jalen Ramsey, and corner remains a position that they look to address. Sources have said they have Adoree' Jackson graded in the first round, and he could be in play for Dallas. There were concerns about Jackson's height, but he measured in at 5-foot-10, 186 pounds, and those numbers are similar to former Chargers first-round pick Jason Verrett. Dallas likes Jackson's cover skills and ability to prevent separation.

Dallas also wants to upgrade its pass rush, and there are a number of edge rushers who could interest them in the first round. As Jerry Jones stated, the Cowboys need a "war daddy" to lead their pass rush, so they could easily go with a defensive end.
