The Draft version of adopting a Chief.
1 “guy” per poster. No repeats, please.
This is “your guy” in the upcoming Draft. Add to your sig if you have the balls to wear this one for the year.

I'm quietly hoping the Chiefs draft him in the mid rounds but I don't know where he's expected to go in the draft.

I'm seeing him around our pick in the 4th pretty regularly now.

His “long speed” has been a question mark but his 10 yard split was really disappointing.
I think we need more burst unless we grab him late.

Wellllllllll....
Devin Neal measured in at 5'11" 213, ran a 4.58 with a 1.59 10-yard split, 37.5" vertical, and a 10'4" broad jump.
Here's how his scouting report from Zeurlein reads:

He lacks top-end burst and speed, which will shrink the field for him, but he’s a fall-forward runner with good contact balance and a nose for short-yardage conversions. He has good instincts and soft hands in space and can help as a leak-out or swing-pass option. His blue-collar approach isn’t exciting but it is effective and Neal has the ability to develop into a backup three-down back.
Kareem Hunt measured in at 5'11" 216, ran a 4.60 with a 1.58 10-yard split, 36.5" vertical, and a 9'11" broad jump.

Adequate in most areas and has talent to become a backup that can step in and handle a bigger load if needed
Hunt has longer arms and bigger hands, but all else being equal, they do look and sound very, very similar.

that sounds about right and perfect round to draft a running back IMO
