WHERE ARE THEY NOW: The 9 players selected ahead of Patrick Mahomes in the 2017 NFL Draft

• Four years into his NFL career, Patrick Mahomes is already the most dominant player in football.
• Mahomes already has an NFL MVP award and Super Bowl MVP under his belt and could add another Super Bowl to his resume this week.
• But in 2017, Mahomes fell to Kansas City with the 10th overall pick of the NFL Draft.
• Take a look below at the nine players taken ahead of the best player in football.

Patrick Mahomes is the most dominant player in the NFL today.

In just three years as a starting quarterback, Mahomes has already taken his team to the Super Bowl twice,won both NFL and Super Bowl MVP, and signed the richest contract in North American sports history, a $500 million deal that will keep him in Kansas City for another decade.

Looking back, it's clear that every team that passed on him in the 2017 NFL Draft made a huge mistake. While most of the players taken in front of Mahomes have been productive, any team would trade what they got in 2017 for Mahomes.

Take a look below at the nine players who were taken before Mahomes back in 2017.
