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.
Falling absolutely in love with this pick! At the time I wanted Swift, but it's clear to me we made the right choice now.
Swift is a great all-around back, will probably be a feature back, but there's nothing eye-popping or unique about his game. He's very good.
Clyde, on the other hand, is 5'7 and ~210 lbs!!! With his change of direction skills, instincts, and short-strided shiftiness in that frame, he's going to be very difficult to reconcile. Not too mention his catching ability in Andy's offense and the pairing with Mahomes...Because he's so unique, he will cause defenses fits! [Reply]
Kollman actually ruined a couple of the Chiefs podcasts I follow. I still like the guys, but from an analysis POV I realized they don't know jack shit. With Kollman I feel like we're almost getting to the level that active NFL coaches talk about plays and players. Either that or he's just way way better at sounding smart than my podcast guys.
Any more recommendations of guys like Kollman out there are appreciated. [Reply]
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...
Thats what I love about CEH...he can create when things break down. He's not the track star Charles was but he is able to make people miss in tight spaces.
That's crucial if/when the Chiefs Oline is hit with a key injury or two and/or is facing a formidable defensive front (likely the case throughout the playoffs and SB).
Basically, no matter what the variables are, CEH looks like a guy that make a big play for you when you need it most. I didnt see that intangible with the other top RB prospects, especially Taylor. [Reply]
I love that HEC will be lining up next to Mahomes this year. With that said the grumblings from the pundits about picking a RB over a DB grab my attention. It begs the question of what do they think of Breeland and Ward? Those guys played really well down the stretch.
In conclusion, I just have to wonder if their real concern is the fact that Mahomes not only has the best TE and WR's in football, but also a star in the making running routes and shaking-baking out of the backfield. I smell fear. Just a thought. [Reply]
At just over 200 lbs he is light. He is the same size as Darwin Thompson. He will have to bulk up to handle being a 3 down back. If any RB is not a 3 down back they are not worth a 1st round pick. [Reply]

He played against NFL defenders all season long and into the post-season. Not sure what the worry is here.
