Y'know what's gotten really frustrating lately? The laziness of draft guys when it comes to talking about DEs.

How stupid is "AJ Epenesa, Edge" alongside "Josh Uche, Edge"

Those are clearly 2 different players who will be working completely differently. Epenesa is best utilized as a 4-3 DE. Uche, OTOH, is an obvious OLB.

C'mon draft hacks - you do this once a year. Why can you not give the kind of detail that might be a little useful if we're trying to parse through this stuff quickly?

I don't agree about Dobbins either. He's not the best for this offense.

Watch Clyde Edwards Helaire.

I get flashbacks of Ladanian Tomlinson.

He has great feet that are always churning.

Outstanding patience. Great vision. Dude has a knack for picking his spot and finding his hole.

And when he hits the hole the man has lightning quick start/stop acceleration.

You'll watch him get skinny and then burst through a hole and absolutely gobble up yards.

He caught 50 passes for LSU while rushing for over 1,400 yards at 6.6 YPC.

AND the icing on the cake: He has almost no mileage on him.

This dude is the ideal back for K.C and IS a better back than Swift.

If you're drafting for year 1 need on a Super Bowl Champion that's returned 92% of its snaps from its starters, you're doing something wrong.

They can absolutely afford to approach this draft w/ years 2-3-4 in mind. Especially when there are guys that can satisfy both masters.

1. The Chiefs are not drafting a ****ing guard in the 1st round.
2. Edwards Helaire is the BEST back in this draft and would elevate this offense, but i think he may be the 1st back taken.
3. I don't believe the Chiefs feel they have a need at CB. Matter of fact, i think they really ****ing like their CB's so it wouldn't surprise me at all if they passed on one both day 1 and 2.
4. If i could have my choice of DB i'd take Okudah or Antoine Winfield Jr. Neither of which will be there when the Chiefs pick.

As I said it's all about protecting the Patrick Mahomes investment those 5 years could very well be 5 years of SB appearances.

There is nuance but load management is key for success to keep Mahomes relatively healthy hence OL/RB security demand

I completely disagree actually, Helaire, is a solid player but he doesn't have the natural gifts that Swift has.

Look at the film, man.

**** these mock drafts from experts who get this shit wrong every year. There's no way you can watch Winfield and tell me he's not a ****in' baller.

There's just no way.

Yup we are totally in disagreement.

I watch Swift and i see a guy that's quite limited. He has some quickness to him but almost no burst, he's tackled easily and his vision is so-so.

I can show you clips of Helaire that you can't show me of Swift. Clips of Helaire slithering though what looks like no hole and then bursting for a gain of 8-9 yards.

Helaire is a legit NFL back.

Swift is a guy that can still be productive, but he's a "get him in space" guy.

I like him, i think Mathieu is his comp, however he has some injury questions that'll hurt.
