There weren't many backs like Darwin in this draft. And it's always tough to count on what other teams are going to do. For all the Chiefs knew back when free agency started, some random team could have valued him several rounds higher than we did and stolen him long before the Chiefs thought about pulling the trigger.
I'm glad it worked out the way it did, but signing Hyde was a responsible move. We did not want to get caught with our pants down, depending Darrell Williams and a bag of dicks in case Damien Williams got hurt.
