RB has an argument for being our biggest team need

[RunKC]

Man it’s bad. Like really bad. Really really really bad.

The Chiefs have the least explosive RB room in the NFL. Only 17 explosive plays from RB’s. Pacheco is the most explosive guy, and he’s been a good soldier here, but he’s not the guy. Excellent change of pace back, but his vision is bad and his lateral agility isn’t good either.

I love Kareem but he’s winding down. He’s 30 next year and you could see the wheels start to come off with usage.

I think we should consider a RB rd 1 if the board gets dicey, but ideally we sign someone like Ty Johnson from Buffalo. Also to preface this I think LT is numero uno for us and this is a scenario where one is just not attainable.

Everyone gets so mad at this offense and blames coaching but the pieces have just not been there. The truth is this team badly misses Jerrick McKinnon. They’ve gotten some of that from Perine but it’s just not enough.

We got 1 TD from a RB in the passing game this year. Compare that to:

2023: 7
2022: 12
2021: 5

Major major drop in production there that has killed the offense. I see these playoff teams with quality backs and it’s helped them tremendously.

Getting an explosive, dynamic playmaking RB has to be a major priority. It could change the entire offense and help soften the blow of losing Kelce (eventually) and working on LT

It's bad indeed CB outside of McDuffie is shit too

A RB has to have an exceptional set of traits for me to consider them in the 1st or 2nd round. Gibbs was one of those guys. Henderson is one of those guys this year for me but I don't have it in me to pound the table for a guy in round 1 again. If Henderson is there at pick 2 or pick 3A, then yeah. Honestly, Henderson is the exact type of back I could see Jerry Jones going all in on in round 1 even if he might not appear to have round 1 grades. The kid is going to probably run a 4.38 and he can do it all.

This is a loaded RB class. The Senior Bowl is going to feature some interesting cats. I want to see Bhayshul Tuten (Virginia Tech) who I like a bunch and Marcus Yarns (Delaware) who has the speed for days. The rest are a great set with Cam Skattebo (Arizona State), Jarquez Hunter (Auburn), R.J. Harvey (UCF), Trevor Etienne (Georgia), Devin Neal (Kansas), Damien Martinez (Miami), Donovan Edwards (Michigan), Kalel Mullings (Michigan), Ollie Gordon II (Oklahoma State), Brashard Smith (SMU), and Woody Marks (USC) and none of these aren't even the top dogs in the class.

Overall, I don't think we have to hunt for an RB in this one. There will be options at our 3rd and 4th round picks.

You're a Nebraska fan.

Nobody expects you to know what talented college players look like.

I agree and don’t want to take one I. The first or second. We don’t need too. What you can’t to is expect that a 7th rounder (Pop) and an UFA (Steel) is all you need to pair with CEH who has had major availability issues.
