LBs flying off the board now.

They had to rely on Carson Steele to open the 2024 season, get Perine after the 53 man roster cut downs, and pulled Hunt off his couch. Just odd they're seemingly content to sit and wait until the end of the draft.

JFC, yes they do.

The Chiefs had an historically explosive-less running game last year.

And to assume that a healthy Pacheco is magically go to solve that… when his longest career run is 48 yards… is naive.

The Chiefs need an Achane-type homerun threat at RB.

Damian Martinez is a bitch. I'll root for the Raiders if that untalented traitorous coward gets drafted by the Chiefs. Then again he'd force a trade after one season anyway.

**** him.

How many DUIs would it take for a player without talent or character to be taken off the board?

Is it really? I mean just look at what we've fielded in the past.

I think someone will take a flyer on Gordon before we pick next....

I said earlier that although Veach talked about how deep the RB class was, he hasn't appeared to be interested in grabbing anyone this time around..

Or maybe he is thinking there will be a post June 1sr release that has some value.

After what Reid and Veach said at the end of season pressers, yes, it kind of is.

Completely disagree with this post. We had to go sign Hunt off the couch and give an undrafted player carries. Also…Mahomes struggles were related to losing his top 2 receivers by week 4 all while dealing with the LT issues.

Maybe the Chiefs feel RB in this draft is deep enough that they can get one in the 7th?

We got Pacheco there.

Still available:

Damien Martinez
Brashard Smith
Ollie Gordon
Devin Neal
Raheim Sanders
Phil Mafah
LeQuint Allen

Considering this is a RB rich draft… to wait until the 7th round to presumably (?) address a position of need… don’t understand it.

uh no. We were 27th in YPC.

Lots of good talent still out there. Gonna be interesting to see who falls to 251.

We’ve got a primary rb, a goal line guy and a guy with an alligator. We could use a complement to the room. I’d have like to have a Martinez that could take over down the road but it’s clear they’re shopping for other pieces. And it’s ok to be ok with that.

My dude. They waited till the 7th round to draft Pacheco.

Rode Spencer Ware and West at one point and dug McKinnon and Williams out of the trash can. Gave snaps to Shady and a spent Bell.

I'd beg to ****ing differ.

Mahomes propped our YPC as he averaged 5.7 per carry. Hunt and Pacheco were 3.6 and 3.7 respectively.

Just because they hit on a 7th round RB once… doesn’t mean that’s easily replicable… history suggests otherwise.

Yes. They also acknowledged that might not have been the best way to address RB, then went right back to it. That's why it's odd. They outright said the lack of a running game was a major problem and thus far have done **** all to address it.

And Mahomes had their second longest run of the season… 33 yards. The longest run was 34 yards.

That’s in the category of no WR’s catching a TD for an entire season-level absurd.

We’ve got the same RB room as last year minus perine and plus Mitchell. A room that got us to a Super Bowl.

We’ve attacked the trenches, wisely, and added a weapon to an already solid WR room.

If Pacheco is healthy and back to form, they'll be ok.

But I still think they'll get a RB we can get a little tiny bit excited about in the 7th.

Martinez (thought he was the pick in 5th)
Bond
Horton
Restrepo
Reed
Strong
Adams
Pierce
Brown
Burke
Alexander
Ivey
Tez
Lachey
Slater

They can't fill every single need dude. It is what it is.

If they took a RB and Tranquil got hurt, or continues to regress, you'd 100% bitch that they did nothing at LB.

I think they would have addressed it earlier but it just didn't shake out. The tier 2 RBs went early Friday and any RB that the Chiefs were looking at after that is mostly just one big blob that's still available.

In other news, TwoBillsDrive just went into meltdown after Horton was taken.

They were already pissed with KC taking Royals, but Horton going 4 picks before them was really the icing on the shit cake . . . . . ROFL

Just saw where Sanders went. A fate worse than not being drafted LMAO

Personally I’d get excited for Ollie in the 7th. If he snaps back into shape you’ve got a 3rd round caliber type guy for a 7th and he’s not an injury risk. Just got a dui, got kind of thick and ran with no motivation. Could see him getting hungry on a good team and being a 800 yard guy.

So we only have the 7th rnd picks left right?

I think they might trade both 7’s to get back into rd 6 for a RB

True. As an undrafted FA, he could have chosen his own spot

So far they have stuck to the visits list more than not.

RB
Micah Bernard, Utah
Ollie Gordon II, Oklahoma State
Quinshon Judkins, Ohio State
Cam Skattebo, Arizona State
Damien Martinez, Miami
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Arizona
Devin Neal, Kansas
Shunderrick Powell, Central Arkansas
Jared Casey, Kansas
Jaylin Richardson, Concordia St. Paul
Keyon Mozee, Miami (Ohio)
Marcus Carroll, Missouri
Nate Noel, Missouri
Shane Watts, Fort Hays State
Andrew Henry, New Mexico
TreVeyon Henderson, Ohio State

Henderson and Judkins were pipe dreams. Outside of Scatman, the rest of them are still there afaik

I like Brashard Smith out of SMU if we're going RB and he's still there. Looks fast and quick.

Ohh I forgot about Jacory Croskey-Merritt.

I'd be all over that in the 7th assuming Martinez, Smith, and Neal are gone.

Feels great to know that even though we only have 2 late 7ths left, there’s a good chance at we will hav e 2 more legit reasons to be excited.

JFC I can’t believe this draft has gone as well as it has.

I guess I'm left hoping for Donovan Edwards...Pacheco 40, but with better vision and breaks tackles

Frazier was on my list as a RG possibility. They must feel good about potentially keeping a certain guy long term.

I don’t see Martinez filling the need for speed at RB.

He was a physical runner at Miami last season… but didn’t show an explosive burst.

that's fine. We've got Mitchell for the quicks.

Which doesn't matter.

If you are running the ball with the intent to get the most EPA then you are doing it wrong. You run the ball to move the chain. In the redzone. To soften up the defense.

Do I care if our YPC is low yet we had the BEST short yardage back in football? I do not.

They may get a Pacheco like player but I really wanted them to get a strong back with speed and plus receiving ability.

He’s a broke dick who will be lucky play 10 games

Brashard Smith is the only one left I really give that much of a damn about. Martinez is fine as well.

Pretty massive drop off after that. I just can't convince myself that Neal would matter a single bit. He's not going to do anything Pacheco can't. And less than a healthy Mitchell would.

So gimme Smith's explosion.

That's the Smith I was referring to. Definitely would get excited about him.

We're gonna have to pass on royals to do that though.

Or draft one even higher, which I'd have really hated.

No problem with how they've handled days 2 and 3 at all.

Stop. Looking. At. YPC.

Hunt terrible YPC. And it didn't matter. He helped us score sooo many more points than we would not have had if we had a high YPC guy who either gets 9 or gets stuffed.

Yeah I'm all in on Smith at this point.

If Clark is as big a SMU fan as I think he is, I hope he's sent a text to Veach to "see how things are going"

One of the worst takes I have ever seen on this site and that's saying something. It's bad even for BWillie.

YEAH WELL YOU'RE A BROKE DICK!

I'd take 2 RBs with those 7ths if they aren't going to trade up :shrug:

Its fair to say I'm more than a little miffed about it at this point

Don't want another damn seventh round guy, we need some sizzle in that room... a thoroughbred

Tbf they said the same about Jet.

I wonder if he was injured last year because he was much better the year before.

I think they will keep them to use on their top 2 UDFA’s.

It's actually a good spot for him, Stefanski doesn't need elite arm talent for his scheme.

The Bills are really pissed Patrick beat them again.

You run to not lose yards. Kareem Hunt doesn't lose yards.

Bills are having a damn good draft, as well.

Chiefs, Cardinals, Bills, Ravens all killing it.

7th round perfect round to take a flier at the least important position on offense other than center in RB. So glad the Chiefs didn't draft one early.

dumb post is dumb.

We had the best RB of all time in YPC.

Didnt win shit.

You don't run to get lots of yards. You run situationally.

A high YPC RB is good to use on first downs and when it is 3rd and 17 and you are giving up. Since you don't want to run on 1st downs anyway when you have the 2nd best QB of all time there is no reason to use one (a high YPC back) for the Chiefs.

I feel they are getting back into the 6th

He’ll be the best QB in the Draft. We both know it.

Welp someone gambled on the Ollie

thank god ollie is gone i did not want that scrub

There goes Gordon.

One less option for the 7th.

ROFL

Stupid. This is stupid.

I was about to say the same. Smith is the guy left I'm interested in, after that I've lost interest and resigning myself to it.

Did Martinez get taken? Decided to hit the gym berm during our lull

Will you stop trolling

Neal is a better back than Pacheco. Vision and instincts way better. Love Pacheco, but he has always been a try hard JAG.

If we get a sudden trade-up it has to be for Neal

still there but will go soon I'm thinking

Looking at other dudes way down the list at RB.... here's a guy with some nice burst.

Thanks! Googling it is a mucky damn mess.

Neal is a Saint.

I’m back in on Devin Neal

Welp.

Here's a live feed draft tracker: https://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker/pr...ed/2025?page=1

Another 7th round RB.

I would move up for Jaylen Reed. Can't believe he's still on the board.
