But with JC in the house already, and with ACL usually not ruining a career (see Welker, Wes), I'm not sure it's where the Chiefs need to focus their draft choice investments.

The thing is JC hasn't shown or giving the opportunity that he can carry the rock 20 or 25 times a game. Plus our depth behind him is really crap. Richardson will be a stud. Yea we can get a back later but he could be maroney part 2. Grab and o-line in the second.
