Some fun here. Edwards-Helaire rushed for 1,415 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior .. all-purpose yards -- receiving (55 receptions, 453 yards) and kick returner (KEY) 10 returns, 214 yards pic.twitter.com/3Duq1jjy6J
Holy offense Bat Man. I love Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He is best Rb in the draft. Watkins and Hill deep. Kelce in the middle. And Edwards-Helaire underneath. Good Luck defenses.
Brett Veach told Andy Reid to watch some Clyde Edwards-Helaire film and told Reid you’ll see Brian Westbrook. Reid watched. Then got back to Veach and said he’s better than Westbrook.

It is my belief hes the best RB for our system outside of Swift but that doesn't mean you disregard value. Nobody else wanted this guy until at least pick 47.
A typical dumbshit drafturbator “value” obsession. [Reply]
The “value” argument has some solid ground in a vacuum, but two parties are needed for a trade. They added some great talent to the team and they’ve earned my benefit of the doubt. [Reply]

No-one knows how this is gonna play out in terms of Ceh, Swift, Taylor and Dobbins and who has the best career. But honestly watching Swift's tape left me underwhelmed. He's quick, can catch the ball and his cuts can be deadly but I never saw anything truly special about him tbh. Taylor is not really a great scheme fit and his fumbles, workload and lack of receiving production obviously worked against him. Dobbins was someone I watched closely and he was electric as a runner and very tough...not as gifted catching the ball as Ceh though which probably made the difference.
All in all I'm very happy with this pick..Ceh's stop-start skills honestly reminds me of Barry Sanders...it's crazy. His ability as a WR is also top class..his receiving stats last season were actually better than Mccafrey in his last year in collage. The fact Pat chose him speaks volumes too. [Reply]
This pick sort of makes the Thompson pick last year irrelevant. Two small RBs. I know Thompson was not picking up the offense to well last year but man, they are a lot alike IMO. [Reply]
