Coming into this I thought most people wanted an electric playmaker to compliment Pacheco. There are not too many of those. Hendrickson, Sampson, Tuten, Harvey, and Blue probably top out the list.
But I really see a lot of people liking some other backs that are more of your two-down thumper and some that are a bit more complete but are going to lack that homerun threat primarily. There are a lot of those 2-down guys and frankly, taking these guys I'd just as much rather take a guy in round 7 than take one in round 2.
I see very few where I feel like they are an every-down back and then you, generally, lose that electric component. I think of these guys as more of your Jeanty, Hampton, Skattebo, and Neal types.
So what do you guys want to see? An every-down replacement for Pacheco going forward? More of a complimentary speed demon that functions on 3rd down?

What I WANT to see and what the Chiefs are going to do are two different things, IMO.
I think the Chiefs NEED and every-down replacement for Pacheco, but I don't think the Chiefs see it that way, therefore I think the complimentary speed demon that functions on 3rd down is the way they will go.
To me, the guy that stands out for that above all else is Brashard Smith. Electric in the open field, will really makes dudes miss at the second level, great pass catcher, GREAT pass blocker (major plus for KC here) and the dude was also an elite returner so he offers versatility and several roles where he could make them more explosive.
If the Chiefs don't go after one of the big guns early (and I personally don't think they will, since I think they still believe in Pacheco) this guy is the perfect guy to target with that 4th round pick. Might even have to consider using that late 3rd rounder to get him.
