What I WANT to see and what the Chiefs are going to do are two different things, IMO.

I think the Chiefs NEED and every-down replacement for Pacheco, but I don't think the Chiefs see it that way, therefore I think the complimentary speed demon that functions on 3rd down is the way they will go.

To me, the guy that stands out for that above all else is Brashard Smith. Electric in the open field, will really makes dudes miss at the second level, great pass catcher, GREAT pass blocker (major plus for KC here) and the dude was also an elite returner so he offers versatility and several roles where he could make them more explosive.

If the Chiefs don't go after one of the big guns early (and I personally don't think they will, since I think they still believe in Pacheco) this guy is the perfect guy to target with that 4th round pick. Might even have to consider using that late 3rd rounder to get him.

I think that's what they signed Mitchell for

But overall, all any of the signings at any position do is allow for BPA. No need to reach anywhere.

Skattebo ran a 40 today. Supposedly high 4.5s low 4.6s.

He did run though, and it was reportedly high 4.5s, so I'm saying low 4.6s at worst.

That's fine.

Kyren Williams-4.65
Kareem Hunt-4.60
Bucky Irving-4.55

Game speed matters. He’s not a burner but Skattebo is still really good. He’s way more elusive than people think too

Yeah, that'll play.

I'd prefer one of the faster backs, but he's a good bet to be a good player.

High 4.5's to mid 4.6's from what I gathered. Fine indeed. Good stuff.

He's tough - Contact balance, violence, quickness, and vision - some of the most entertaining chunk gains in this class.

If you’re looking for 2017 Kareem Hunt, I think Skatteboo has a lot of appeal.

That’s who he reminds me of.

He reminds me precisely of Rex Burkhead...nearly identical running styles and +traits.

Get in here staylor! Hurricanes Damien Martinez visiting the Chiefs.

I like him.

The guys we have visited/met with have a trend: they are guys who are bigger backs who are hard runners that are experienced and capable of being 3 down backs early. Experience and quality in all phases: running, receiving and blocking.

I love Martinez, just hoping they take a RB earlier than that. I've said it before, but I wish we could double dip and take a lightning guy (Sampson) and a thunder (Martinez). Elijah Mitchell and Hunt singings killed that dream though.

I have thought about this a ton as well. I know it'll never happen, but I can't even fathom the kind of protection and defensive looks Mahomes would get if we actually had a dynamic backfield. I would love to see it so much.

We could draft a guy and maybe grab another as UDFA, there’s so many RB’s in this draft I suspect at least one guy we’ve discussed will fall to the 7th or beyond.
