Agree.

It’s basically the opposite of what we had with Jamaal. Loaded boxes constantly because no one respected Alex Smith’a ability to throw it downfield.

Now, teams have no reason to fear our backs. Even nice 8-15 yard runs with these guys should be 20+ yard runs if we had a back with burst.

It’d be nice to see a big play or two out of the run game again.

I'd take Judkins amongst RB's projected early. Size, burst, violence & hate, quickness, decent receiver, and speed to house one at any given time. Other than Jeanty, Judkins' film pops the most out of the top five or so RB options, in my opinion.

I lie more in the DJ camp of what I want to see from a runner. I just don't think that guy has to A) be a 4.3 runner nor B) be a high draft pick.

We were able to threaten with guys like Kareem Hunt in his prime, Damien Williams and Spencer Ware. Two of those 3 run 4.6.

I think it's more about vision, decisiveness, and initial burst going N/S when they hit that edge or that crease.

I think Woody Marks from USC is an excellent fit for this offense but he doesn't get brought up much because he's a mid 4.5's guy.

Henderson in pass pro:

I love how he sets like an OL. That's just f**kin awesome! That's an every-down back IMO.

Honestly, wouldn't be shocked if he's the pick at 31, because he can play right away.

The collisions between him and a blitzing Derwin James would be must-see TV 2x a year.

Ever since I did my last round 1 mock I kept thinking about Henderson. When Jahmyr Gibbs came out, he had virtually the same grade as Henderson. He was considered a very late 1 but probably a high day 2 pick all through the process. Then right at the end, we saw this meteoric rise up the charts and he went 12th overall.

And... I can't help but feel the exact same way right now about Henderson. Unless Loveland makes it to 20, I don't think Henderson is making it past Denver. And that will undoubtedly suck a lot of ass. And then new guy goes and does exactly this in the CP Mock and I almost shit myself.

Hell, if Jeanty goes before the Bears at 10, I wouldn't necessarily rule out Johnson slamming the table to get this guy to be his new Gibbs.

I think he's going way earlier than current projections.

I also feel the same way about one of his teammates in J.T. Tuimoloau. I think he's going in round 1 and ahead of Nic Scourton, but that's another talk.

More pass pro from Hampton, Ollie Gordon and Kyle "My Guy" Monangai...

There’s so many good RB’s in this class I wish we could take two!

If Jeanty had a freak accident before the draft, say something pretty serious like an ACL tear, and he fell to us… would you take him knowing he wouldn’t play at all next season and without certainty he’d be the same?

Pass in that scenario. Need a guy who can help immediately.

It’s a great thought experiment. It basically nets out to: would we trade the 31st pick in this year’s draft for the 10th pick in next year’s draft AND it has to be a RB? The answer to that, I think is yes. Especially since we have the extra 3rd rounder this year and no obvious holes in the starting lineup.

The only position I think the Chiefs can consider a “redshirt” player at 31 is LT.
