They have lots of issues but none greater than the RB position.

I feel this I really do (Dobbins is my hopeful pick) but I do also think that Damien Williams isn’t getting enough love around here for his contributions that he’s provided when he’s been healthy.
Ever since he took over for Kareem, his numbers have not been that far off from Hunt on a per game basis. Outside of the beginning/middle of this season (injury), Williams has performed pretty damn well and especially in the playoffs.
I think the team believes in him and he’s proven it on the biggest stages too so idk how eager Veach is to throw higher cost resources at the position as opposed to treating it much more efficiently like he has and essentially go with the lottery ticket candidates (Damien, McCoy, Hyde, Deangelo, etc.) since he knows that Reid and Mahomes can at least manufacture a semblance of a running game with a much cheaper price.
It just doesn’t make sense to spend a 1st on a position that you could likely get similar production for from someone in 3rd-5th round. I think Veach goes with veteran guys looking to redeem themselves like Theo Riddick, Chris Thompson, CJ Procise, etc. There’s just too many other positions to address with very limited draft capital as is.
