Pacheco had a couple of passes in his college highlights, so I guess I will go ahead and call it now, against the Raiders in a meaningless game 17 because the 1 seed is locked up. [Reply]

Clyde has a problem staying healthy, but I think he'd be an effective piece with someone better to really complement him. Maybe Jones will give us that. [Reply]

I don’t think it’s a rush to judgement, at all. I was a fan of the pick (I also took him in the CP mock for the Steelers in the second) but when you take a position like running back, linebacker, safety, IOL, DT in the first round of the draft, they need to be a stud to meet the value of the pick.
I look at first round picks as ways to balance the cap as a big factor in a pick that high. If you hit on a solid #2 WR, that’s a surplus value of 15-20m per season over what you need to pay a FA to do the same job. A QB gives you 40-50m in surplus value. So on and so on. Running backs get paid in NFL food stamps, so to pick one in the first round actually hurts your cap.
You gotta view those first rounders as opportunities to not only get a good young player, but the positional value needs to be accounted for.
For CEH to be worth the spot he was drafted, he needs to be one of the best running backs in the league snd he’s probably not even top 20 if we really look into it. He was VASTLY outplayed by pretty much every other back last year. McKinnon was night and day better.
