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 a great class to capitalize on a huge need of getting a weapon for the offense. If Arroyo is the guy I don’t see why not?

Truth is Kelce is an old, washed player that can provide some moments of his glory days but it’s became more and more rare. His legs are gone. Love him but it’s pretty clear he’s not the threat he was 3 years ago.

Wouldn’t necessarily say we are trying to replace him bc that’s impossible. I think we need a real threat there. A guy that can make plays and get YAC and Noah Gray is not ever gonna be more than a role player IMO

I’d prefer to use a 2nd but if he’s got that much upside and board falls that way I don’t see why not?

We had so many issues with old players and lack of explosive plays. We gotta make that a major priority this offseason

Yeah, I just don't care about even trying to replace Kelce. If were me, I'm not drafting TE at all in this draft. Give me a RB with some juice, maybe a corner and other than that, I want fatties. Especially defensive ones.

Would be pretty foolish to do but IF Burden actually fell to the end of the first I'd be running to the podium with card in hand. The shit Reid could do with a trio of Rice, Worthy, and Burden would be catastrophic to the rest of the league.

[Dunerdr]

I’m all about getting more weapons early and often.

Especially with the whispers of him falling out of the first round, possibly. Grab him at 31 posthaste if he's there.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

The Chiefs REALLY don't need to use another 1st round pick for a WR, but if Burden (or Egbuka) fall to 31, you have to give it some strong consideration. Could change the dynamic of the offense (force teams into 2 high against KC a lot more) and allow the WR's to eat in the middle of the field and the running game (assuming we get a RB) to explode.

If the Chiefs get a LT in FA and sign Smith long term, **** it. Just make the offense crazy and trust the rest of the draft to build the defense for the future.

Take another weapon if it’s there and a dynamic running back somewhere.

Defense the rest of the way.

With just Spags and whatever is left of the defense, we can be average on that side of the ball.

Add that to the 2018 offense, and you’ve got a winner.

No. He runs like Darrel Williams. Doesn't look like he has any moves either. Decent acceleration and size.

We need an explosive home run hitter at RB to PUNISH two high looks.

At best he looks like a slower Leveon Bell.

I don't think it would be foolish at all.

there's something to be said for just stacking good football players.

And weapons never hurt to have.

[Couch-Potato]

I wouldn’t mind Burden at #31, not one bit.

[bigjosh]

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we went rb, wr, te with the first three picks. (No specific order)

There is bound to be a player of value at those positions in each of our picks.

Burden, Judkins and Fannin is my home run scenario

Unless Judkins or Henderson somehow fall to us, I think Sampson, Tuten, Harvey and Blue are the guys.

Would be happy with any of those 4.
