Weren’t you saying we should trade down and take CEH? LMAO

You’ll take him at 35, but not 32?

I don't follow college football at all.

What's are upside and downside with this pick?

pugsnotdrugs19 04-23-2020 10:32 PM

He’s a 1st round fantasy draft pick to me, that’s for certain

Monticore 04-23-2020 10:32 PM

I think the guys they wanted at LB. CB C were gone so they took their BPA , he seems like a great fit and it’s gonna. E even more fun watching this offence .

carcosa 04-23-2020 10:33 PM

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 04-23-2020 10:34 PM

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 04-23-2020 10:34 PM

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 04-23-2020 10:34 PM

When you have Mahomes it’s easy to just wanna keep adding layers of difficulty, yeah maybe the D gets dinged... but the Ultimate Weapon just got another weapon

Now gimme Shenault with 2, LeMeuix with 3... then go defense

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.

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.

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.

Honestly if he turns into Priest Holmes this offense is truly unstoppable. It’s another piece for Andy to play with. We’re about to see some crazy play calling.

Good
Perfect fit for our offense and Andy Reid
Great hands ... Great
Very good route runner
Powerful legs
Think Darren Sproles

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.

I don't know where Jeremiah thinks he is like Priest Holmes:spock:

Not even close. CEH runs a lot like Barry Sanders IMHO. Priest didn't have the speed, quickness nor cutting ability this kid has. Priest had the ability to glide behind a HOF line and read the holes very well. This kid is a "muscled up" Tyreek Hill and that is a very good thing.:thumb:

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 04-23-2020 10:56 PM

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

If this kid can be as good as Priest....**** 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.

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.

Building?

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.

I didn't even know attempting to buy drugs was a crime.

I'm guessing you'll be shocked to hear that attempting to murder someone is also illegal.

If this kid can be as good as Priest....**** 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.

He's patient like Priest, has soft hands like Priest. But Priest never had this kind of short area burst and agility. His feet don't move this fast. CEH's stop and go is elite.

Him and D Will are gonna be a lethal 1-2 punch. D Will will obviously be in on third down plays as he’s the better blocker but I do see them splitting time

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.

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.

Has Veach missed on one of his love affair picks?

Wasn’t he instrumental in a few of the Eagles stars too? Obviously, Mahomes and Hardman too.
