He’s going to be so good in this offense.

I don’t like the positional value but he is 100% the best back in the class IMHO.

How are people even mad? We haven’t had serious rb talent since Jamaal

[saphojunkie]

I fucking love it

Andy just got his Dex McCluster replacement!

[OnTheWarpath15]

Not a huge fan of taking a RB in R1, but this kid fits the offense. Seems
Like a Ekeler/Bigger Sproles Type.

[thechiefsrback]

pretty sure coach Reid and Veech know what they're doing. Let's go

[saphojunkie]

RB at 32 is perfect. Five years of control and don’t have to ever think about a second contract

Dude is going to be a beast in this offense.

If it makes you feel better, you can tell yourself that we took him at the top of Round 2.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Dude had 438 touches in his career. Only 1 fumble

[tyecopeland]

Dane should be happy.

With the lbs off the board and the cbs gone, I'm not upset about a rb. I dont know a whole lot about any of them but he would have been my pick over the others. Less mileage and less fumbles. More dynamic as a receiver from what I had seen. We have a crowded backfield now though.

[Hamwallet]

I wanted Dobbins but this is perfectly acceptable.

[BryanBusby]

Probably a little early, but I like it. He fits this Offense well and he really made that Offense click against some big time opponents.

The Chiefs got harder to Defend tonight.

[Bump]

If Mahomes is happy, I'm happy

From NFL.com (https://www.nfl.com/prospects/clyde-edwards-helaire?id=32194544-5781-5562-8963-df06e680f700):

Strengths


Ball security is outstanding
Runs low to the ground with superb bend and balance
36 percent of his carries were for first downs or touchdowns in 2019
Can cut-and-go without stopping anywhere on field
Quick gather and cut agility laterally or on downhill flow
Has spin move, elongated jump cut, and sudden double cut in his bag
Makes tacklers miss in a phone booth
Instinctive eyes and feet make him unpredictable
Alters run tempo at times to con flowing linebackers
Squares pads and falls forward to finish
Has instant access to burst and sharp one-cut angles
Runs crisp routes out of backfield
YAC are automatic
Kick returner for three years


Weaknesses


Quick but doesn't have speed to house longer runs
RPOs made linebackers more tentative early in run
Smaller back as interior runner
Average power near goal line or on short yardage
Pure speed to the corner is just average
Shorter arms with limited catch radius
Needs to crank up commitment level in pass sets

[Simply Red]

This pick screams Andy Reid trying to re-create Brian Westbrook.

I will admit I trashed Edwards-Hilaire in another thread earlier today, and swore that he would never be picked by the Chiefs because of his lacklustre pass protection. It comes almost as a given that Bieniemy demands this out of his backs, but there is no denying he will be a huge matchup problem in the passing game and although he doesn’t have the greatest breakaway speed, He runs tough as nails between the tackles and is very elusive at the point of attack. I am more than willing to give this guy a chance and hope he develops into a great weapon for the defending Super Bowl champions.

Dude, offensive linemen are barely asked to do shit in college, and you expect RB's to be great in pass protection?

RB's don't come out of college as great pass protectors. None of them do.

[Simply Red]

so wonder what now comes of Darwin T. / Darrel W. and Washington??

[lawrenceRaider]

This guy is going to be an absolute stud for KC. Might be the last player i wanted to see KC take. Kid is for real.

[dirk digler]

I will repeat what I said in the draft thread, I remember watching him in the playoffs and thinking I would like to have him on our team. He was impressive.

He fits our offense perfectly and I think it makes our offense unstoppable if we are fully healthy.

[Easy 6]

I'm praying we get Donovan Peoples-Jones

[Pitt Gorilla]

I will repeat what I said in the draft thread, I remember watching him in the playoffs and thinking I would like to have him on our team. He was impressive.

He fits our offense perfectly and I think it makes our offense unstoppable if we are fully healthy.

He’s a rb/wr. I mean, the dude can run routes.

Dude, offensive linemen are barely asked to do shit in college, and you expect RB's to be great in pass protection?

RB's don't come out of college as great pass protectors. None of them do.

Trent Green weeps.

I completely get what you’re saying but let’s not forget who takes snaps with the defending world champions. Protecting Mahomes is objective number one, everything else comes after.

Props for calling this pick by the way.

[DaneMcCloud]

Totally stoked

[tredadda]

Anyone who watched LSU last year should have noticed how much of a beast this guy was. He was just impressive all year and if Reid loves him and he’s a fit for this offense he will dominate. Great pick up for us. He’s our replacement for Hunt.

I am a die hard LSU fan. We just recieved the most incredible RB. This is sooo against an Andy Reid pick, yet here he is! This is so incredible for our team! We now have a Priest Holmes 2.0:thumb:

[tk13]

so wonder what now comes of Darwin T. / Darrel W. and Washington??

They're going to have to fight for jobs. Really though these are running backs... injuries happen. Look at last year when we couldn't keep anyone healthy.

And considering he's a rookie and might have pass protection issues, Helaire might not be on the field every single down to start with anyway. Plus if everyone's healthy you're not going to be able to put all the weapons on the field at the same time anyway. Reid's going to have a field day.

Great hands ... Great
Very good route runner
Powerful legs

Not so good
Swift was still there
Defenders that fit needs were still there
A RB in the 1st round
Not a polished traditional runner
Not a polished blocker

overall
Great at doing what Andy will ask him to do even though taking a RB in the 1st round usually isn't a good idea. #32 is almost the 2nd round though. The main issue is teaching him how to pass block. He is short but very stout so he should be able to.

This isn't the luxury pick that the t.v. guys keep saying. We have legitimate needs on defense. Fills the main need we had on offense.

My head is still sort of reeling.

[BigChiefFan]

Agreed. Getting the 1st HB in the draft, is a great move for pick 32. Veach is already off to a good start.

I thought the Westbrook comp made more sense given his height and past KR ability. Dude definitely seems like he's more than his combine numbers. Always flashed when I saw LSU play last year.

[mnchiefsguy]

Daniel Jerimiah on NFL Network said that he reminds him of Priest Holmes.

If this kid can be as good as Priest....fuck yeah.

They maybe could have traded back a little, but it does look like there will be a run on running backs in round two, so I am good with the selection.

I was thinking it was gonna be him or the Swift kid from Georgia. Seems like all of the defensive talent we were interested in was already gone.

Also, this is a good sign to me that they are confident they can resign Chris Jones. If they were not, surely they would have gone with a DT in this spot.

Also, I like the pick even more after seeing the rest of the AFC West picks in the first round....they are giving up on trying to defend us, they wanna try to outscore us, and I think that plays right into our hands.

[prhom]

Anyone give me their best guess? I wasn't ready to give up on any of the above? What happens, moving forward, would you guys say?

I thought Thompson might struggle to make the roster anyway. He just wasn’t that impressive last year. Williams made some plays, but I don’t think any of us saw him as a guy pushing Damien for playing time. So we had Damien, Washington, Williams and Thompson? My guess is it goes Damien, Clyde, Washington, Williams and Thompson is gone.

They had dog shit at the position, so drafting a RB in the first was almost a given, which is what I’ve been saying for a month.

I’m sure they’re going sign more than one UDFA running back, too.

this is a fine pick after watching some videos (extensive research, I know).

RB was a concern during the regular season, not during the playoffs though as we all know Damien Williams stepped the fuck up in the playoffs and Superbowl. But the regular season it was kind of a dumpster fire for a lot of it.

There's nothing wrong with taking a RB with the last pick in the 1st round and he's going to make some plays for us.

This is pretty much just a bad take.

LMAO at thinking Swift is a better RB. Have you watched Swift? I mean actually watched him, not just his highlights. I dont know how you can come away thinking he'll be a better pro.

To be fair the analysts also ranked swift higher. But that’s the difference in analysts and pro scouts.

[RunKC]

Christ almighty this dude’s strengths fit Andy Reid about as well as any offensive player in this goddamn draft



Strengths
Ball security is outstanding
Runs low to the ground with superb bend and balance
36 percent of his carries were for first downs or touchdowns in 2019
Can cut-and-go without stopping anywhere on field
Quick gather and cut agility laterally or on downhill flow
Has spin move, elongated jump cut, and sudden double cut in his bag
Makes tacklers miss in a phone booth
Instinctive eyes and feet make him unpredictable
Alters run tempo at times to con flowing linebackers
Squares pads and falls forward to finish
Has instant access to burst and sharp one-cut angles
Runs crisp routes out of backfield
YAC are automatic
Kick returner for three years

[RollChiefsRoll]

A- on the pick from Yahoo:

32) Kansas City Chiefs: RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, LSU — The highest-drafted RB in Andy Reid's career goes from a the most explosive offense in college football to the most explosive offense in the NFL. Edwards-Helaire is a compactly built powder keg of a back, and an immediate contributor. This pick is a home run. Grade: A-.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

I’m still trying to find out how 36% of his carries went for first downs or TDs. That’s fucking Jamaal Charles territory

[morphius]

Guy seems to fit the RBbC with his number of touches per game. Liked that he had only 2 fumbles all year only losing one of those.

B- from Prisco — fuck ya self

32. Chiefs, RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, LSU
Grade: B-. I'm not a big fan of taking running backs in the first round, but when you have Patrick Mahomes it's OK to take a running back like this in the first round. Reminds me of Maurice Jones-Drew

Great pick. Yeah, his weakness is pass protection. So what. Mahomes had 14 regular season games last year and only 17 sacks.

Your offense just went from “stupid good” to “best ever?” so enjoy it.

Tape don't lie. He is an electric runner. It's not very surprising that college defenses stood no chance at slowing him down. I really like the pick. Obviously, Veach and Reid must love this kid.

2) Never fumbles
3) Very hard to tackle

Not even remotely fair.

Frozenchief and haven't taken the same position at all.

I was the first person to say something positive about CEH after he was drafted. Check the draft thread. I haven't slammed anything. I've been fair and balanced in my discussion of the pick.

I realize some people have to be 100% YAH or 100% Boo, but maybe you should try just talking about stuff. Maybe you'll enjoy it.

[crazycoffey]

My first reaction; why offense???? Oh wait not an OL, Ok. Again I say; WHY OFFENSE????

Then I watch some film. And I say; Looks good.... did we really need a RB? And then I remember the chiefs signed shady, mid season, and shady didn’t play the post season. Sooooooooooo, yeah, Andy wants another RB. Now I’m fully in the camp of RB isn’t a bad pick....

Agreed on the video. The angle of those shots really shows how amazing this guy is. It’s hard to imagine his lateral quickness NOT being an incredible addition to this offense. His quickness in the open field is gonna be a lot of fun in an offense that is really really good at getting guys wide the fuck open on a regular basis.

[jerryaldini]

I'm good with it.

Also, what is our obsession with LSU RBs?

Spencer Ware
Darrel Williams
Edwards-Helaire

Don't forget the best of them all, long neck!

[staylor26]

Definitely didn’t expect this pick at 32, but I’m still pumped

I think every single one of these top 6 RB’s are a fit (Moss is too).

The best fist IMO is easily Clyde Edwards-Helaire though.

I had Swift #1 but it’s easy to see why Veach/Reid went with Clyde the motherfucking Glide

[ChiefsFanatic]

I know some people are upset, and some people are happy.

But, to those who are upset, I have to ask, WTF? This isn't a franchise that just randomly picked some dude, or picked a default defensive lineman, like they have been in the past.

This is a franchise that just won the freaking Super Bowl with a QB they traded up to get, with a defensive lineman who they drafted, who is arguably the second best D-linemen in football, with a WR they drafted, all being huge contributors to the Super Bowl win.

If they think a RB from National Champion LSU is the pick to make, great. After the last 2 years why would we even question the pick?

If your team won the Super Bowl, and is returning 20 of 22 starters, and you have the best QB on the planet, why even worry about it?

Reid never picked a RB in the first round ever but guess what he’s not running the show anymore. That’s BRETT MOTHERFUCKING VEACH!!!

[KCWolfpack]

I like this pick.

The reason: Drafting well is a balancing act between addressing your team's needs and taking the best guy available. Did we have several positions of need? Sure. We could have used an LB; 4 of those were gone by our pick. We could have used a CB; 6 of those were gone by our pick. I could go on.

RB was also a position of need. Was it as big a need as some of the others? Of course not. However, everyone in the draft at that position was still available to us. That's why the pick makes sense to me.

I like what I'm seeing of the tape I see of CEH. I also find it interesting that we went with him as opposed to guys that many of the draft gurus liked better like Taylor, Swift, or Dobbins. Makes me think that maybe Andy and Brett saw something there that others didn't. The result won't be anywhere near the level of the Mahomes pick, of course, but...

Looking forward to seeing him in action.
