Consensus big boards from mock drafts right now have Henderson at 64 as the 4th RB behind Jeanty (10), Omarion Hampton of UNc (46), Kaleb Johnson of Iowa (62).

With that in mind, if I get to 32 and Hampton and Johnson are still on the board, too, I would definitely consider trading back 10 picks or so and grabbing an extra 4th and seeing where I’m at when that comes up. And then maybe moving again if I can if it gets to 42 and those 3 dudes are still there.

21-60 are all about the same grade level guys in this draft, though, so that might make it hard to move around.

Jaydon Blue anyone? Might be good to go back to the Sark well in Texas. 6 ft 200 lbs, good vision and boy is he fast

Henderson sure looks like the perfect Andy Reid RB to me.

That's it. That's my post.

I think the SB showed that there's no argument where the biggest need is and it ain't RB.

It's not the biggest but it's still up there, RB talent on this team is shit. A James Cook or Chase Brown on this roster would have helped so much, assuming Reid would actually run it of course.

**** it I'm on the Henderson bandwagon don't think hes the go to guy like some of you think but he is explosive draft him kick the tires on a guy like Chubb with Rice/Worthy on the outside and an upgrade at LT you have a top 10 offense

Dunerdr 02-10-2025 09:26 AM

RB is not the biggest need but surely still is high on the list. The trick is how to value it and what round do you want to take a shot? We didn't try until it was too late but if the running game could have helped set the tempo and rhythm that games likely a lot less ugly.

FWIW, The Athletic's latest mock has KC picking Dylan Sampson with their lower 3rd round pick.

I'm a big Longhorns fan and Blue isn't anything more than a third down back and a special teamer guy in the NFL. I had hopes before the season that we would see a Jamaal Charles like emergence from him after Baxter went down for the season, but it never happened.

He can't run between the tackles and his vision is soso. He would be an excellent McKinnon/Perine replacement that would give us some homerun potential with catches out of the backfield and the occasional run...but there's a reason why Tre Wisner ended up being the feature back for Texas this year.

If the board doesn't go their way or they've already picked up an LT elsewhere taking one of the premier RB talents at 32 wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Highest volume receiving back in CFB last year with 64 receptions.

6 ft
207 lbs
10.25 hands

3 down back looks like a natural fit in our offense.

The Chiefs need to draft a running back in the worse way. That said, I have a hard time pulling the trigger on a running back before the 3rd round. Ample talent in this draft class, and while many are down on the talent in this draft, I think it fits nicely for what the Chiefs have in terms of positional needs.

Andy is going to love Skattebo.

Need someone similar to McKinnon. Speed and great pass blocking.

McKinnon was very underrated.

I would be shocked if they trusted a rookie with 3rd down pass protection duties.
