Rumors resurface about DC 2017 decision on Patrick Mahomes.

Rumors are swirling again about one of the biggest “what-ifs” in recent NFL history: Did the Dallas Cowboys really pass on Patrick Mahomes?

According to a recently resurfaced source claiming insider knowledge from the 2017 draft process, Mahomes was on the Cowboys’ radar—but not high enough. The anonymous scout alleges that Mahomes had a pre-draft interview with the team, but Dallas ultimately didn’t believe he was the right long-term fit.

The Cowboys famously picked defensive end Taco Charlton with the 28th overall pick, while Mahomes went 10th to the Kansas City Chiefs—where he’s since become a two-time MVP and Super Bowl champion. The comparison between what was and what could’ve been has haunted fans for years.

Fueling the fire, a screenshot allegedly showing internal notes from Dallas’ front office went viral this week, suggesting Mahomes was “too raw” and “not NFL-ready.” While no official source has verified the image, it reignited heated debate on Cowboys social media circles.

But here’s the truth: The Cowboys did host Mahomes for a visit, and Jerry Jones has publicly admitted that Mahomes was a name of interest. However, they never had a legitimate shot to draft him without trading up. Kansas City moved aggressively, something Dallas wasn’t prepared to do at the time.

So yes, the Cowboys missed out—but calling it a “rejection” may be rewriting history a little too much.
