For the locals

Giddens-4.43
Neal-4.60 …uh oh

CatfishBob2 · 03-01-2025, 12:44 PM

Was not expecting Hampton to run mid 4.4's

Can't wait to see Tuten prime time during player introductions

Yup we’re drafting a RB alright

It will be with one of those 3rds. Hopefully they do enough in free agency to pull the trigger with the Titans pick. That's where the value will be best.

Skattebo 39.5" vert. If he runs a decent 40 he could easily be off the board before we pick in the 2nd.

I knew he wasn't a burner, but I didn't think he'd be THAT slow.

duncan_idaho · 03-01-2025, 12:58 PM

So Bhayshul Tuten...

is the most athletically explisive RB in this class (40, broad, vert)...

Averaged huge YAC in college...

Catches the ball extremely well...

Is a dynamic run-away threat every time he touches it...

I mean, if the fumbles can be cleaned up, there's every reason to think that can be a superstar playmaker who fits in the KC offense the exact way a superstar playmaker RB needs to fit...

RunKC · 03-01-2025, 12:59 PM

Lot of guys ran even faster times on the 2nd try. Woo buddy

Fastest 40's among the RB group:

4.32 – Bhayshul Tuten
4.39 – Jaydon Blue
4.39 – Brashard Smith
4.41 – RJ Harvey
4.42 – Montrell Johnson Jr.
4.43 – Quinshon Judkins
4.43 – DJ Giddens
4.43 – Trevor Etienne
4.45 – Donovan Edwards
4.45 – Jarquez Hunter
4.45 – Marcus Yarns

4.51 isn't a bad time for Damien Martinez. I wish we could draft 2 RBs this year. 1 lightning 1 thunder.

Imagine having Tuten and Martinez on rookie deals for the next 4 years.

RunKC · 03-01-2025, 01:23 PM

Bummed that Dylan Sampson isn’t running today. Would have ran in the high 4.3’s IMO

Oh well

Better for us IMO.

Just like Henderson not running quite as fast as he plays.

smithandrew051 · 03-01-2025, 01:34 PM

Gordon and Neal didn’t run too well.

If we could get Neal in the 4th or 5th, sign me up.

RunKC · 03-01-2025, 01:58 PM

Some guys like Blue and Sampson had a bit of a fumbling issue but I think that’s correctable so not really worried.

The challenge for the Chiefs is gonna be getting a guy they think can be a 3 down back year 1. A guy who can block on 3rd down.

Outside of the OSU kids who will be gone in rd 2, none of these hyper athletic guys appear to be above average at blocking which will make them 2 down backs as rookies. They are tough and are willing but may need time to develop that area of their game. Kind of like Jamaal Charles. Wasn’t great at early but really became a great blocker.

That’s the key, bc it doesn’t matter how good of a back you are, if you can’t block at an adequate level, you can’t be out there on 3rd down.

smithandrew051 · 03-01-2025, 02:25 PM

Judkins had one of the best 10 yard splits of the backs.
