Why would we want to pay for that when there’s so many other positions that need filled? It isn’t the 90’s anymore. The best teams run RbbC.

There were plenty available when we drafted CEH.

Grab a RB in the 5th round or something that has good traits. Or the 3rd, whatever. Cycle thru them.

Look around the league. It's just too easy to find good ones.

So they took the wrong spot back. That doesn’t mean they need a bell cow. They just need a different spot back if CEH isn’t the guy. Damien Williams was really good in this offense.

We don’t need a Henry or someone like that. It’s superfluous and a waste of salary cap.

But I’m sure watching Kareem Hunt on Sunday got all the Camaroheads fired up about it again and we will be hearing about it all season.

The thing that sucks is if they wanted Westbrook they should have taken D'Andre Swift.

I like CEH but Swift is better.

Personally I wouldn’t have taken a RB in the first. Like ever.

Nope. Not ever. No matter what.

I really can't believe that they did.

Taylor, Dobbins and Cam Akers (when healthy) are probably better too

In that draft I thought it was

Swift
Taylor
Dobbins

and then I had CEH. I loved CEH coming out. I still think he has great vision. You don't lose that.

Hopefully we see better soon.

Pay for it? I don't want to pay top dollar for one at all. I'm all for drafting a running back often in later rounds . We do that we'll find one. My point was simply that if we had a solid every down RB, the offense would be unstoppable. I don't think CHS is good enough. I never liked that pick. Why are we paying him maybe a better question?

I really think the guys they wanted most went ahead of their pick. It became who is left they think deserves a first-round pick. I also think no one came forward for a trade out of the 1st round. So they picked an RB may be the wrong one maybe not and Clyde is a late bloomer. Also as the story goes the Chiefs asked Patrick what back he preferred. If they did do that maybe don't and trust the well paid scouts you have on staff.

CEH looked slow on Sunday… which is supported by his 3.1 YPC average.

Maybe there are perfectly legit reasons for that… he’s not 100% from his preseason ankle injury, the offensive line still being new, etc., but he had no explosiveness on Sunday.
