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

I think Tuten should be our top RB target.

Disappointed in Ollie tbh.

Calling my shot today: Jaydon Blue

This is the guy. 2nd most athletic RB to Tuten but to me he has a much better feel for the passing game. Andy is close to Sark so like Worthy, he’ll know everything about him. But you can’t deny the kid looks natural catching passes and his speed is legit. Showed it vs the best teams in CFB and Sark’s offense has a lot of similarities to Andy’s.

Only thing I don’t like about him is hand size but it didn’t appear to hurt him as a receiver.



I mean c’mon guys. This just looks like an Andy Reid RB.

Texas RB Jaydon Blue would be a great fit as a passing down back in Ben Johnson's offense.#BuildingTheBoard

✅ Blazing speed with a 4.38 forty-yard dash; Slippery in space (
✅ A serious mismatch weapon in the pass game
❌ 7 fumbles on 270 career touches pic.twitter.com/hjMazp3NSM

Some of those plays and formations look like they were lifted straight out of Andy's playbook

Very nice

If the Chiefs draft Devin Neal, they will draft who Kareem Hunt would've been had they never cut him. pic.twitter.com/QlYu871sbe

Henderson is still my top guy at RB for this offense (targeting that #63 or #66 pick), but if he's not there you guys have convinced me on Tuten a little later. Just need to clean up those ball security issues.

I’m a Devin Neal guy, but he didn’t run well.

Had a bad 10 yard split and 40.

He’s still my guy, but I’d like to see more burst this time around.

Of course, I’d still take him late if that time makes him fall.

[Dante84]

Maybe its the burnt Orange, but I see some JC in Blue.

Ollie is a beast, but I don't know if he has the initial burst/acceleration that this particular offense needs. Also, his drop-off was curious.

If you can lower his fumble rate, Blue has a pretty good shot at being an electric change-of-pace guy. I like Tuten a lot more, but I'd champion Blue if Tuten isn't a possibility.

Ollie put on weight and clearly wasn’t happy in a rumored toxic okstate environment. The dui and weight hurt him. I’d still take a chance late. I think the burst of old is still there if he’s trimmed down. But he needs to be the old Ollie to be a functional nfl back.

i may have actually came watching this.

Those fumbles seem to be the big knock on Blue....I have heard 3 or 4 Mock Drafts focused on RB's and the one thing that seems to be the big red mark is his tendency to fumble.

[Couch-Potato]

There are so many good running backs in this draft it’s insane. Can’t wait to see who we take!

[Iconic]

lord have mercy there are literal GEMS in this class. walking out of the draft without an additional body for the rb room will be a sin.
