Spoiler!

*****Official Clyde Edwards-Helaire Thread*****

This thread is better but it doesn't have OFFICIAL in the name so I'm torn.

LSU fan here....Great pick.....The guy will spin into the end zone....

Love the way he runs in these highlights

My biggest question with any RB: how's his ball security?

He’s going to be so good in this offense.

RPO experience and skills ... is that the rationale?

FAX

I don’t like the positional value but he is 100% the best back in the class IMHO.

How are people even mad? We haven’t had serious rb talent since Jamaal

Andy just got his Dex McCluster replacement!

Not a huge fan of taking a RB in R1, but this kid fits the offense. Seems
Like a Ekeler/Bigger Sproles Type.

pretty sure coach Reid and Veech know what they're doing. Let's go

RB at 32 is perfect. Five years of control and don’t have to ever think about a second contract

Dude is going to be a beast in this offense.

If it makes you feel better, you can tell yourself that we took him at the top of Round 2.

Dude had 438 touches in his career. Only 1 fumble

Dane should be happy.

With the lbs off the board and the cbs gone, I'm not upset about a rb. I dont know a whole lot about any of them but he would have been my pick over the others. Less mileage and less fumbles. More dynamic as a receiver from what I had seen. We have a crowded backfield now though.

I wanted Dobbins but this is perfectly acceptable.

Probably a little early, but I like it. He fits this Offense well and he really made that Offense click against some big time opponents.

The Chiefs got harder to Defend tonight.

If Mahomes is happy, I'm happy

Detox ****ing called it.

Good pick. Surprising but good

He's been my guy this whole time. I've been pimping him hard.

You're looking at the 2020 OROY

Imagine taking a roundhouse kick from those tree trunks.

yeah this! and we don't mean 'BB' baby, for example Carcosa is my BB

From NFL.com:

Strengths

Ball security is outstanding
Runs low to the ground with superb bend and balance
36 percent of his carries were for first downs or touchdowns in 2019
Can cut-and-go without stopping anywhere on field
Quick gather and cut agility laterally or on downhill flow
Has spin move, elongated jump cut, and sudden double cut in his bag
Makes tacklers miss in a phone booth
Instinctive eyes and feet make him unpredictable
Alters run tempo at times to con flowing linebackers
Squares pads and falls forward to finish
Has instant access to burst and sharp one-cut angles
Runs crisp routes out of backfield
YAC are automatic
Kick returner for three years

Weaknesses

Quick but doesn't have speed to house longer runs
RPOs made linebackers more tentative early in run
Smaller back as interior runner
Average power near goal line or on short yardage
Pure speed to the corner is just average
Shorter arms with limited catch radius
Needs to crank up commitment level in pass sets

Apparently, you never get tired of embarrassing yourself. reerun.

CEH had the most percentage of his teams receptions of any RB. I believe it was 35% of LSU’s passing offense was to him.

He looks like a slippery little ****er LMAO

Good guy to return kicks, right out of the gate. It's the out of the blue nature of the pick that I like.

He had the highest run grade, but he had too many potential bad runs

This pick screams Andy Reid trying to re-create Brian Westbrook.

I will admit I trashed Edwards-Hilaire in another thread earlier today, and swore that he would never be picked by the Chiefs because of his lacklustre pass protection. It comes almost as a given that Bieniemy demands this out of his backs, but there is no denying he will be a huge matchup problem in the passing game and although he doesn’t have the greatest breakaway speed, He runs tough as nails between the tackles and is very elusive at the point of attack. I am more than willing to give this guy a chance and hope he develops into a great weapon for the defending Super Bowl champions.

It’s absolutely a non-story.

Brian Westbrook 2.0

4 years 10 million dollars so the money is fine

Not a fan of first round rbs but whatever
