Andy Reid doesn't really need a 'bell-cow' back.

What's the point? You can keep Hunt around for the tough yards for cheap.

If you're going to draft a guy, especially high-get a polished runner/receiver back that can be a big play machine.

Luckily you still have 2 months to get better at this lol.

Yikes

I saw a post in the lounge around Mahomes 3rd phase in KC, the first being high flying offense, the second being a more tactical dink and dunk offense, and asking what the 3rd should be… I wonder if we shouldn’t pair Pat with a high caliber RB to take the pressure off him.

Not sure it's THAT bad and I may have been harsh because this part is pretty ****ing good:

2. RB Kaleb Johnson, Iowa
3 (Sneed). LB Barrett Carter, Clemson
3. S Billy Bowman, Jr., Oklahoma
4. OG Connor Colby, Iowa
7 (Hardman). S Craig Woodson, California
7 (compensatory). DT Jahvaree Ritzie, North Carolina

Changing pick 1 and a little FA, I think he's onto something

Harold Fannin Jr. in the 1st is so bad that it ruins the entire thing. I'm good with Kaleb at 63. Seems a little early for Carter, but don't hate it.
