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.
I think everyone else thinks the Chiefs need a CB way worse than they do, also it's become pretty obvious that with Spags and Sam Madison they like these guys with peak athletic traits that they can work with. [Reply]

Idiots. If they really wanted Gladney that bad they would’ve made a move for him. The Vikings taking him after going WR at 22 was about as oblivious as it gets. [Reply]

I absolutely love that they hedged their bets grabbing both Sneed and BoPete. That’s a great way to handle it after missing out on days 1 and 2 at the position. One of those guys should work out IMO. [Reply]

Sneeds jump off the field athletic traits mixed with his experience at both secondary spots made him a guy I thought would be high on the Chiefs board.
I know absolutely nothing about BoPete, other than Jim Nagy saying he thinks he's better than Charvarious Ward was when he saw each of them down there. [Reply]

I am too. We got a great football player. And a promising fatty later.
Lol yep I'm very happy indeed :-) . We had our battles when it came to thoughts on rb's and the line, but i'm happy Veach and co addressed both areas of the team. What excites me most about CEH is he is way more than just a pass catching back...he's got genuine wr skills having played that position in highschool and his agility is on Barry Sanders/Marshall Faulk level so it's gonna be interesting to see how defenses cope with this kid. [Reply]
Gonna be hilarious when CEH and Gay are stand out rookies putting up good numbers. I seriously think these 2 are going to look really good this year. They’ll both start and be utilized by excellent creative coaches.

A friend of mine told me that the Gay pick sucks because "he didn't play in any games and he's an asshole"
Why are people so caught up in that? Of course this is the same dude that doesn't like Tyreek and repeatedly will say I don't cheer for him and can't wait till he's not here anymore. [Reply]

Considering Veach said they knew CEH was their target an hour before the draft started, that's a stupid fucking take. [Reply]
