Yahoo Sports: 4. Patrick Mahomes, Texas Tech — 6-2, 225 — Strong-armed gunslinger with special traits but also maddeningly bad habits who will need some rewiring before he’s ready to take over

NFL Analysis: Perhaps the most intriguing highly-rated quarterback in the class, Mahomes is a fun study. His release and footwork are at times unconventional, but he can flat out play. The term "gunslinger" is overused in quarterback parlance, but Mahomes fits the bill. He's shifty in the pocket and can be deadly accurate while on the move from a wide variety of release points and angles (front foot, back foot, side-armed, etc.). He needs to work on his patience in the pocket and let plays develop/trust the system, but his arm talent is unquestioned. If a coach/coordinator can harness his ability to freestyle and keep him comfortable within the confines of their system, he could find early NFL and fantasy success.

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "He is a big-time gunslinger like Brett Favre. He's got the athletic ability. My question is can he learn to win in the pocket because to play in the NFL, at a certain point, you have to." -- Mike Mayock
