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

May be harder for us to find things to yell at each other about this year...

**** YOU, KYLE WILLIAMS IS BETTER THAN PAT BRYANT!!!

What do you (and everyone else) think about Jordan Watkins from Ole Miss? He's fast and seems to hit on the bombs a lot. I have a very loose 5th-round grade on him. Would you take him in the 4th? Is he more of a late-round flier to you?

I don't feel like I'm really forcing anyone in the 1st, except maybe Shedeur and Conerly. They might be more fringe but I don't know that I'd change much against too many classes.

Anyone you would axe off of this 1st round grade list? Anyone you'd absolutely add?
QB Ward, Sanders
RB Jeanty
WR McMillan, Burden III, Egbuka
TE Warren, Loveland
OL Simmons, Campbell, Banks, Conerly, Membou, Booker
ER Carter, Scourton, Green, Pearce, Walker
DT Graham, Nolan, Harmon
CB Hunter, Johnson, Morrison (depending on his hip)
SS Starks

Walker is a bit of a surprise in the 1st, no?
