Giant Waste of a draft choice.

I realize it ultimately is just a game. And I realize we won the SB just a couple of months ago. But I see many, many times where what one expects to happen is not what really happens. and if Veach had been paying attention to what really happens, he would not have chosen an RB with any draft choice and its super frustrating to see that pick just wasted.

lol

Did you miss the big CB and WR run? Safety was about the only other real option.

love too have a complete meltdown because the team that just won a super bowl took their BPA at 32

This is how you do it. Pick your choice of a position that hasn't been picked yet. Get the best player at the position. It's how I end up with kelce every year in fantasy.

The evidence is clear: RBs don’t merit the attention that they did 30 years ago. You no longer need a first round RB. Handing the ball to an RB generally COSTS a team points. You can either look at the data and agree or you can make snide comments, but the fact is, Veach wasted this pick.

If you disagree, point to a RB in the last 15 years that had a positive Extra Points Added per carry. We would have been better off drafting a WR or another TE.

And before Patrick Mahomes, Big 12 QBs never amounted to anything in the NFL. Get outside of the box and trust the guy who just brought us a SB.

Boo Hoo.. The Chiefs will never make the Super Bowl.. Andy and Veach don’t know what they are doing... Andy is a horrible football coach... Boo Hoo..


JFC.. He’s a great player who will make us even greater on offense...

Then take a safety. I don’t care. The evidence over the past decade plus shows that RBs COST points.

I’m a numbers/data/analytics guy. I read what computer crunching data means for current NFL games means. And they mean that you don’t take an RB in the first round.

Here’s Geoff Schwartz talking about why it is ludicrous to pay for an elite RB in today’s NFL:

This was just a giant waste.

Excellent contact balance.

Bienemy will get him to improve his pass blocking and this kids gonna be a STUD. Could have a per carry average similar to Charles.

McKinney would be nice to have but look at the recent investment at safety. A 2 on Juan and a huge contract for Landlord.

Glyde Helaire is going to be fun to watch in this offense.

He averaged I believe 6.34 yards a carry in college

It’s 2 separate data sets. What produces a quality QB in the NFL are skills that can be transferred to the NFL. Certain stats demonstrate those skills and Mahomes had those in abundance.

That, though, is different than how one analyzes different positions or groups. We had a great pass rush under Bob Sutton. But you know what? Pass rush does not win games. That used to be the case. it isn’t any longer. A better backfield is far more valuable than a better pass rush.

In the same way, RBs don’t win games any more. We have the best QB in the league, if not in league history. We should have such a lopsided run/pass balance that we can use UDFAs as RBs and save our draft choices for positions where we need them.

They will hand the ball to him like five times a game at most. And that’s only because we are winning by four scores at the time.

Anyone have the feeling that Noah Igbinoghene would have been the pick till Miami took him at 30? Oh well doesn't matter Vikes would have taken him at 31. Veatch used most of the clock looking to trade or decide between Swift or Helaire.

frozenchief 04-23-2020 10:47 PM

It could be worse, though. I could have a photograph of my house on national TV that shows someone on the toilet:
