Lets put the school aside I like both of those KU corners those are going to be mid round guys. Would love to snag either of them

I think that the addition of Hunt to the roster has really allowed even casual fans to see how Pacheco lacks vision. He is a good RB but we really need to invest some draft capital in a RB that can be the next Hunt (or better).

Lot’s of good RBs in this draft, who do you guys like for KC? I’m currently high on…


-Khaleb Johnson - Great balance and vision, most of his highlights reflect excellent run blocking from the OL but feels like he has Kamara’like potential.

-TreVeyon Henderson - Runs with great patience and burst, wasn’t used as a bell cow so should have plenty of tread left.

-Dylan Sampson - Speed back that runs with surprising balance, saw a bit more Kareem Hunt in his game than expected.

-Brashard Smith - Maybe the best highlights of any RB this year, explosive big playmaker with serious receiving chops, potential low cost investment in the back half of the draft.

Lots of good RB talent. Kind of waiting to see if any get the shake down at the combine like usual. I think we should prioritize speed. And it may be an over reaction to early in the season post Pacheco and Rice injuries. But we had X and absolutely no one else on the field who was a threat to break one.

I do think we need to get more dynamic at RB. Pairing Pacheco with a guy like Sampson or Breshard Smith would be excellent. Kind of like what Detroit has going on in their backfield

I honestly don't care much at all about 'pairing' Pacheco with anyone at this point.

I want a new, better RB1.

If Pacheco can forge a role as an RB2 in short-yardage situations, neat - so much the better. But he's not been any better than Hunt this season and in a lot of ways worse.

I'm not looking to supplement the RB room - I'm looking to upgrade on it.

I see you too are on the TreVeyon Henderson bandwagon. God that kid would just kill it here. Ideal fit. Would be like a super powered Jerrick McKinnnon capable of producing McKinnon’s best work every year at an insane level.

Unfortunately we’d have to pick him in the 1st bc he’ll be a top 40 pick at worst.

I get people want WR’s every year but this offense needs a good RB in the worst way. Fewest explosive plays from that position in the league

Hey Crow. Check out Jared Ivey. 6’6” 285 lb DL with versatility. Omenihu type player. Excellent prospect that could one day replace Chris Jones.

Love that kid

I like Ivey as a guy to play behind Chris Jones. An interior athletic pass rusher with size and length. Start developing guys like this for post Jones era

If you want a RB that early, Hamptons the guy.

Both Penn State RBs are going back to school for another year.

I like the idea of pairing Pachecco with another high quality back, especially another speed back or a 3rd down pass-catcher like McKinnon was for us. Two RBs with Pachecco’s speed cycling in with fresh legs would be a plenty enough to give the D fits.

I’m curious if there is a consensus to bring back Hunt and Perine next year for another run or should we rely on Steele and the draft to replace them? I really think Hunt could have another solid year if he splits carries with Pacheco. I’m not sure why Perine hasn’t been used as much in the passing game, he seems very slippery out of the backfield when he is.

I’d be happy bringing everyone back and agree that Perine has been under utilized, but I also think it’s his spot that’ll be available for a rookie to take.

I think Perines been integrated with the playoffs in mind. Like Mckinnons last two years we didn't start using that until the end of the season. I expect his role to grow. Perine and hunt are pretty long in the tooth. Ideally I'd like to revamp the whole room over the next two years. Pacheco is at the end of his contract and unfortunately he's just not elite at anything. He's got pretty good speed but not quickness, his visions lacking and he's really not that great short yardage. He's just a high effort guy. I love that about him but don't want to build the room around it going forward.

It's hard to ever think your in a good position to prioritize RB but on offense we've got prospects I like on the line, receivers coming around (probably need to bring back Hop or Hw) and tight ends pretty solid. As far as offensive resources I think were at a spot where the RB position needs a little make over.
