So Marcus Yarns? Deleware Blue Hen
Matt Nagy? Deleware Blue Hen
Brett Veach? Deleware Blue Hen

Day 3. I’m just saying

This may be controversial but I’m just gonna say it: I like Cam Skettebo and think he’d be a nice fit here and a boost to the offense.

This is controversial? Well, dang. I've been taking him in a lot of my mocks.

He runs like a ****ing Mack truck.

I wouldn't hate it.

He's not fast. But he runs like a damned truck. First guy never brings him down. He'd be an instant fan favorite.

I'm warming up to him.

What surprised me about Skattebo is his ability as a receiver. He’s way better than I thought.

I see CEH all over again with Skattebo.

Clyde never had that kind of contact balance. Guys just bounce of Skattebo.

CEH? He's bigger, faster, stronger, better contact balance, better vision... just better at literally everything. Clyde was the worst ****ing 1st round pick at RB. He wasn't 1st round caliber. He was a 3rd round player Veach reached on for Patrick. The depth of this class is making Skattebo a fringe 2nd/3rd player.

I agree with all the above except, I highly doubt Skattebo is faster. Veach dislocated his damn shoulder reaching for CEH. His contact balance was pretty damn good IMO but not enough to overcome his size/ speed limitations.

Skattebo is bigger but tested similar to CEH at the combine. If I was drafting his heart he'd be first round all day but neither back would be higher than a 3rd for me........Skattebo could change my mind maybe if he ran faster than 4.6

I doubt Henderson will fall to us at 31 and it’s the only one I would consider in the first outside of obviously Jeanty who is out of the question. We need to go trenches in the first. DL is deep and a good player will fall to us. From OTs, Ersery would be the only one I would consider in the 1s. RB is a big need but you can find value in the middle rounds in every draft and with this rb class even more this year.

Well, he's going to host a private workout and run a 40, so they say, so you might just find out. I'd say he's 4.55 and could sneak a 4.50 if he has a great day. 4.60 isn't necessarily bad if you're a good RB. Clyde had no vision. Travis Henry, Josh Jacobs, Kareem Hunt... all 4.6. Aaron Jones, Alvin Kamara 4.56.

Henderson will almost certainly be there at #31, but I wouldn't take him there.

I'd think hard about it in the second round.

If Skatteboo was running in the 4.5's or lower 4.6's in his training, he'd have likely ran at the combine or, at the very least, his pro day where 40s tend to be faster than in Indy.

He must be posting times in training that could potentially hurt him in a crowded RB class. If that's the case, I wouldn't be shocked if he posted times in the +4.7's (if he ran at all) and/or showed up a few pounds lighter than in Indy (219lbs) at around 210-215lbs to aid his speed.

Hopefully, I'm wrong. He's a super fun player to watch regardless of how he tests. Which ever team he goes to, that fanbase will love him.

What I WANT to see and what the Chiefs are going to do are two different things, IMO.

I think the Chiefs NEED and every-down replacement for Pacheco, but I don't think the Chiefs see it that way, therefore I think the complimentary speed demon that functions on 3rd down is the way they will go.

To me, the guy that stands out for that above all else is Brashard Smith. Electric in the open field, will really makes dudes miss at the second level, great pass catcher, GREAT pass blocker (major plus for KC here) and the dude was also an elite returner so he offers versatility and several roles where he could make them more explosive.

If the Chiefs don't go after one of the big guns early (and I personally don't think they will, since I think they still believe in Pacheco) this guy is the perfect guy to target with that 4th round pick. Might even have to consider using that late 3rd rounder to get him.
