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.

$1.2 million of this year's salary is guaranteed so you may be right. Perhaps they'll try to use him like McKinnon or something.
But I think they'd rather bring back McKinnon and draft a replacement for Clyde, especially if they can get that salary traded for a ham sandwich. [Reply]

Nobody is going to want him in a trade. They know they can just wait to get him after he's cut at the end of the year.
He's going to be on the 2023 roster, that's my guess. [Reply]

You basically looked at the roster and said, "we're loaded. A sick RB would top this team off...Oh look, here's one".
It just didn't work out.
Well, that was dumbass non forward thinking if that's the case. [Reply]

Has him classified as a safety I think because he's played in the slot so much and that reduces his rank relative to a skill player on offense. Seems to do a pretty good job if you look at the rankings within position overall. Definitely less ludicrous than just saying "yeah CEH was a 4th rounder at best" pulled out of the ass.
Anyway Sneed especially and Gay salvage the draft with these numbers. Sneed comes in as a mid second round value 82 spots up from where he was drafted. [Reply]
You could use a 5th rounder to draft some big fast guy with vision issues or a bad OL in college and get him for 4 years at asswipe money.
Or you could trade for a dude w/ 3 years of demonstrated mediocrity who costs about as much as 4 years worth of that 5th round RB combined and is a FA at season's end...
I don't see BLEH have any trade value at all, really.
The only team dumb enough to do something like that would be Denver, and I think they're out of draft picks. [Reply]
Honestly Clyde's first season lived up to his draft status. It was every season after. Next year is a contract year so we'll see. Saunders turned it on last year. Clyde's turn. [Reply]

The problem is he lost his job. He's a rotational back now at best. Plus it doesn't seem like he wants to be here anymore if he's not willing to go to the parade to celebrate a SB win of all things. [Reply]

JFC. Are people still fucking butthurt that he made a prior commitment probably months before the Chiefs won the SB? Get over it. The guy was having a fucking blast on the sideline with teammates in a track suit. It's not mandatory to attend the parade. [Reply]

If we think of guys like CEH as Veach’s worst moves, then we’re in damn good shape. He’s scored like 17 TDs in 35 games. We could’ve done much much worse. [Reply]

Alright fine ill retract that.
I still just don't see how he's going to make an impact now when his track record has been so bad and he's lost the starting job. [Reply]
I'll never be behind a RB in R1, it was a bad pick. BUT, and as much as I've hated watching him plodding his way to an OLs butt every snap, i also think he's been kinda unlucky. His rookie year he was pretty good, I think the injury f***ed him. Combine that with his usage, which is baffling to me and feels like a rare example of Reid and Co not putting a player in the best position to succeed, and it's been pretty rough viewing. I doubt we get anything for him, I think he's absolutely bust, but I imagine he's here next year. He seems like a good pro and teammate and i don't really care about the parade.
I think receiving running backs are fools gold a lot of the time. It feels like they'll be a lethal offensive threat rather than just someone who doesn't run routes well enough to be a WR. I'd far rather the strategy of picking up guys late which fit one or 2 specific needs, speed, power, can block etc.a lot of RBs end up having decent hands after just never having them tested in college.
