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.

You are going to use a FIRST ROUND pick on a RB to catch passes? I get it in the later rounds.
You got it with.....group....so why change that?
Marshall Faulk was catching 80 passes a season, see the difference? Hell, Roger Craig caught 92.
We had a chance to get a bellcow RB who was considered the best in college football. Let Williams catch passes Maybe Taylor can catch passes.
Hell, Jim Brown 2500 yards, 20TD's catching the ball.
Maybe. I just know Reid said CEH could be a better Westbrook and as others have pointed out Westbrook in his prime caught 73,61,77,90, and 54 passes.
In regards to Taylor he maybe end up great but I am wondering if he has the stigma that alot of supposedly great Wisconsin RB's have had and that once they get to the NFL they aren't very good because in most cases Wisconsin's OLine dominates teams. James White and Melvin Gordon are good backs just not great ones.
Also I like to look to see how players performed in the biggest games and there is no question CEH performed better in 2019 and did it against NFL type talent and teams.
Taylor:
vs Michigan 203 yds and 2 TD's
vs OSU 52 yds
vs Iowa 250 yds
vs OSU 148 yds 1 TD
vs Oregon 94 yds
CEH:
vs Florida 134 yds 2 TD's
vs Auburn 136 yds 1 TD
vs Alabama 103 yds 3 TD's and 1 Receiving TD
vs Georgia 57 yds
vs Oklahoma 2 carries 14 yds in an absolute blowout
vs Clemson in NC game 110 yds [Reply]
Under Reid, the Chiefs have already drafted a 5'11, 227 lb back with 4.37 speed and notorius fumbling problems in college...Knile Davis. Im guessing Reid didn't want to revisit that well. [Reply]

Clydro DESTROYED Diggs this game. This game may have dropped Diggs out of the 1st round all together. So happy happy we picked up Clydro, STUD! [Reply]

:-) You realize that was a joke right. Taylor had a serious fumbling problem in college... There's no way Andy was going to draft him after sitting Shady for those issues... [Reply]

5 foot 8 207lbs and he runs through people and often doesn’t even go down, he looks like a cross between Sproles and ironhead Hayward , he made that def his bitch [Reply]
It is interesting choosing Jonathan Taylor as the sword to die on. 18 fumbles in 41 career games probably dropped him below Swift, Dobbins and possibly Akers and Moss for KC.
926 rushes compared to only 42 receptions in college make it pretty simple why he isn't in KC. CEH >>> JT. [Reply]

And his fumble in the divisional round (NE) essentially swung momentum when KC was in Patriot territory.
You would think Chiefs fans would recognize the value between a Charles type talent and what KC has trotted out the last season and a half.
I like Williams...but the system helps him...not the other way around. JC raked up 5.0 YPC when teams knew he was getting the ball... [Reply]
