Jordan Love, QB, Utah State

I know, I know. We already have Patrick Mahomes. But hear me out. If Jordan Love somehow makes it to the Chiefs pick at 32, Brett Veach should strongly consider picking him as an investment into the future. Love has a great arm and has already been compared to Patrick Mahomes.

One red flag about Love is the fact that he threw 17 interceptions last year. This is something he’d definitely have to clean up, but if developed well he could be flipped for a first round pick or star player in the future. Considering the Chiefs’ other needs, Love isn’t someone I’d pound the table for, but he deserves consideration if he makes it to the Chiefs’ first round pick purely because of his upside.

Jacob Eason, QB, Washington

A more reasonable option that I’d be happy with is Jacob Eason. Eason is a 6’6″ 231 lb quarterback from Washington who threw for over 3,000 yards and 23 touchdowns this past year. However, he also threw 8 interceptions. Eason needs to be developed, and that’s why I like him for the Chiefs.

He’s another guy I think that could be developed and traded in the future. Or, the Chiefs could keep him as a backup to Patrick Mahomes. He’s someone who I wouldn’t mind the Chiefs taking in the fourth or fifth round, but I wouldn’t want the Chiefs to spend a third round pick on him.

Mason Fine, QB, North Texas

Mason Fine’s biggest problem is his size. He’s only 5’11”, which is certainly on the smaller side for the NFL and a concern. But Russell Wilson is also 5’11” and Kyler Murray is 5’10” and they’re NFL quarterbacks. While Fine’s height is a concern, his arm is not. In his last three seasons with North Texas, Fine has thrown for nearly 11,000 yards, 87 touchdowns, and 29 interceptions.

Especially if the Chiefs trade back and grab some extra picks, I’d love for them to spend one on Mason Fine. He’s got a lot of potential, and could develop into a great backup or even starter in the NFL. I believe he’d be a great use of a sixth or seventh round pick if the Chiefs can get one.
