If there was an aspect of the run game the Chiefs missed after cutting Kareem Hunt, it was the ability to break tackles and gain yards after contact. Looks like Darwin can help with that.

The flexibility as a receiver is nice, too.
Williams filled in nicely after Hunt was cut. But, the team missed Hunt’s explosiveness. This kid looks like he has some of that and might be a very big surprise

I love Sproles but this guy is way more of a beast that is hard to bring down. His height and weight are more like Ray Rice, however blasphemous it is to make that comparison.
More like Priest Holmes I think. Elusive tackle breaker with speed to burn.

First, you have to catch him, then manage to bring him down and not let him drive for extra yards...oh and if you miss - he is going to the endzone.

Veach has got damn good taste. Definitely sounds like Darwin was one of those picks he got tunnel vision for. Dudes going to murder it here.

Yeah it definitely seems like the dude can scout. All of these guys seems to have good upside and a couple seem to be STEALS.

Veach just needs to calm down & let these guys fall to him instead of panicking & trading up.

O.city 04-29-2019 12:56 PM
Seeing him compared to Dion Lewis. That would be nice.

Shut the **** up you whiny little bitch.

If he wouldn’t have traded up for Hardman, we wouldn’t have gotten him. Sometimes you have to be aggressive or you’ll be left standing with your dick in your hand.

I'm starting to think so myself.

I was very "meh" on this pick at first, but after watching some highlights, I think we have something here. Dude looks shifty as hell, is built like a brick shithouse and jeez, his legs look like friggen tree trunks!

Tree trunks that can press 500 pounds.

We added a Lot of speed to this team since last year and dumped a bunch of bonehead players.

That is how you turn over a roster.

Not only can he scout, but he can also work the board like ****ing stud.

It's one thing to like someone, but it's another to know how to navigate 32 other teams to get your guy while not overpaying.

And all we gave up for Hardman was a fifth that’s it!!

This guy looks like DAT with Tyreeks muscle mass but with Hunts stability
