Hyde: Picking Mahomes over Brady in a Super Bowl that questions traditional team-building (like the Dolphins’ way) | Commentary

I’m backing Tom Brady, picking Patrick Mahomes and wondering if major pillars of building football teams like the Dolphins have will come under review after this Super Bowl.

This idea is as natural as drinking water and breathing oxygen. But … but … especially if Kansas City wins, look at their impeccable decisions. Sure, they got the generational piece of Mahomes by smartly trading up from the 27th pick to No. 10 in 2017 to take the quarterback. General Manager Brett Veach and coach Andy Reid saw what no one else did. That’s why they’re here.

Still, in the past five years Kansas City only had two first-round draft picks — that 10th pick and last year’s 32nd.
