Yup we’re drafting a RB alright
It will be with one of those 3rds. Hopefully they do enough in free agency to pull the trigger with the Titans pick. That's where the value will be best. [Reply]
is the most athletically explisive RB in this class (40, broad, vert)...
Averaged huge YAC in college...
Catches the ball extremely well...
Is a dynamic run-away threat every time he touches it...
I mean, if the fumbles can be cleaned up, there's every reason to think that can be a superstar playmaker who fits in the KC offense the exact way a superstar playmaker RB needs to fit... [Reply]
Some guys like Blue and Sampson had a bit of a fumbling issue but I think that’s correctable so not really worried.
The challenge for the Chiefs is gonna be getting a guy they think can be a 3 down back year 1. A guy who can block on 3rd down.
Outside of the OSU kids who will be gone in rd 2, none of these hyper athletic guys appear to be above average at blocking which will make them 2 down backs as rookies. They are tough and are willing but may need time to develop that area of their game. Kind of like Jamaal Charles. Wasn’t great at early but really became a great blocker.
That’s the key, bc it doesn’t matter how good of a back you are, if you can’t block at an adequate level, you can’t be out there on 3rd down. [Reply]
