But it’s ok if you take them at 40!

They got the back they wanted. How they hell we going to question they management that traded up for Mahomes. Then won a SB. ?

He belongs on the field, and that's a good enough start for me.

It is so ****ing easy to plug in talented RBs in this offense and watch them go zoom.

This is gonna be fun. We get a couple fatties and our offense is going to be legendary again.

Well sure - but a poster named frozenchief, who still hasn't figured out how to give himself an avatar, is pretty sure this is a bad pick.

So I don't know who to believe.

Exactly 32 is where you could still get sick value at RB, G, C, LB, S etc.

Here's the ball.


Go make plays.

Veach said he’s a pro bowl talent and is exited to have him for the next 5 years

They have the same 40 too.

Holy shit. I forgot Darrel was even on the team.

Are we really bitching about a pick the current GM. Who traded up for Mahomes... then won a Super Bowl.. has made.?

Kid fits the offense. Puts pressure on defenses. I like it.

He should be our fourth RB. Sorry Darwin

Compete or be gone.

Slow 40

Its Kareem!!

We all know what NFL talent looks like.

Even that 40 is misleading. Dude was hurt/sore (from CFF Playoff and season) and folks suggested that he not run the 40. He did it anyway, because he's a warrior. He knew it'd be slower than his real time, but he didn't GAF.

That was sensory overload

Yes... lets question the guy that trades up for Mahomes.. wins Super Bowl... then drafts a RB that fits an Andy offense.

Andy Reid:

“We asked Pat Mahomes who do you want and he picked you!”

Mahomes making draft picks now!!

Nevermind he is the 1st gm to return 20 of 22 starters from a SB winner

Won a SB.. shouldnt he

I didn’t say this was a bad thing

**** If that doesn't fire you up, you're dead inside. ****, this is the guy Pat wanted and you can see why.

Yes . You were vague

Okay - this put me on cloud 9.

- Look at Reid - I have never, never *visually* seen him so excited about a player. With Pat, he was thrilled and you knew it from what he said. But Andy looks over the ****ing moon.

- Brett is super giddy as well. That quote he gave about texting Pat at 4pm and saying "Give me a name, and don't think- just give me a name" and Pat comes back with "Clyde" instantly. Wow.

- EB & DM are slobbering.


And lastly, I love how focused and business like this kid is. The whole time, he's saying how ready he is to work and you can tell he's ****ing serious as can be.

I think it’s obvious this is a player we are all going to fall in love with in and off the field.

What more could you ask for from a team that just won the SB and is returning 20 of 22 starters?

But but but no RB in the 1st!!!!

"Hardest working player in the draft." Wally: "Yeah, we know."

Its 5 years . Of a back.. you like...when you have to pay Mahomes and Jones.. cheap.

Like is an understatement.

Reid has never gone RB in the 1st. Ever.

They don’t do this if they don’t think they have a guy that’s going to be an elite RB.

Is it so hard to figure out..that the ****ing GM that traded up for Mahomes ... won a ****ing SB... is signing Chris Jones.. didnt pick the bpa.. for this offense?..andy reid pick. For a god damn team that just won the super bowl.

Correct Reid has never done this but this clearly shows Veach is in charge of all personnel and can we stop with the notion that Veach is a yes man and Reid tells him what to do

Anybody who thought that is a ****ing moron.

Anybody who still thinks that is ****ing reeruned.

For reals. I swear half of CP still thinks this way. Veach is on his way when it’s all said and done with he will be on the Mount Rushmore of GMs

It's the 32nd ****ing pick. Ranting about this pick on principle like we were drafting a RB in the top 10 is absurd.

I like it when you go wild.

Veach knows his contracts. We picked up some decent WRs LY in udfa.

Our offense just went to another level.

He's like priest Holmes with a little bit of hunt. Not only because he can catch but his burst looks ridiculous. This guy's feet look a lot quicker than kareems.

Honestly his feet remind me of Emmitt Smith

maybe get traded tomorrow.

Adds context to Pat's tweet before the pic came in:

The more I read about this dude the more I think this is the absolute best turnout for us in the first round. GREATNESS.

Waking up to this pick was amazing

Somehow this offense is gonna be more insane

**** i cant wait until September

I can't consume enough footage of this dude. He will be loading the equipment guys with bags of ankles after every game.

Bienemy does not mess around.

Well, this was an inspiring read....

From The Athletic's LSU beat writer (REMINDER: SUBSCRIBE FOR GREAT CONTENT):

By Brody Miller
LSU named Clyde Edwards-Helaire the team MVP. Think about that.

On a team with the Heisman Trophy winner, the Biletnikoff Award winner and the Thorpe Award winner — a team with six All-Americans — it was the 5-foot-8 running back, the three-star prospect in 2017 who many thought wouldn’t keep the starting job, who the national champions considered their most valuable player.

Because while Joe Burrow shattered records and Ja’Marr Chase dominated one top corner after another, Edwards-Helaire became the rock that made this whole thing work.

When the offense stalled against Auburn trailing 13-10, it was because of Edwards-Helaire that coordinators Steve Ensminger and Joe Brady said, “Let’s pound them this drive. We’re just going to run the ball and see if they can stop it.” He ran it four consecutive times for 22 yards, then 12, then 6, then 5 on the way to the end zone.

Or when LSU had Alabama on its tail in Tuscaloosa as it gave away a huge lead, it was Edwards-Helaire who stretched his hands for that third-and-10 pass, made several defenders miss and made the most important first down of the night. It was Edwards-Helaire who spun out of Crimson Tide tackles and scored four touchdowns with 180 yards. He had nine catches that night.

It was Edwards-Helaire who dragged four defenders for seven yards to gain that game-clinching first down for one of the biggest LSU wins in decades. That was the night Burrow became the clear Heisman frontrunner, but many in that stadium remember Edwards-Helaire as the man who pushed LSU past Alabama.

That underrated, 5-foot-8 running back was selected by the Chiefs in the first round with the 32nd pick of the NFL Draft on Thursday, finalizing the leap that so few foresaw when the 2019 season started.

No, most people seemed sure Edwards-Helaire would lose the starting job by midseason. Most people doubted he was a “premier back.” They thought he was small and that he didn’t have much upside. But people around LSU kept confidently saying, “Clyde is our running back.” Their confidence was surprising.

Then, he went out and rushed for 1,414 yards and 16 touchdowns while catching 55 passes for 453 yards. He became a top NFL Draft prospect.

That’s why, after LSU took down Alabama, an emotional Edwards-Helaire had his moment.

“It proves I’m an every-down back,” he said. “I’m an SEC back. You know I had that doubt coming in to LSU. ‘He’s not big enough, he’s not gonna be fast enough,’ but you know, everybody can measure the things they see but they can’t measure your heart, and that’s what I live by.”

Yes, it’s true Edwards-Helaire is only 5-foot-8, but he’s also 209 pounds and can squat 600. He ran a 4.60-second 40-yard dash at the combine, but experts say his overall testing numbers are off the charts.

Butkus Award-winning linebacker Devin White once said Edwards-Helaire was so hard to tackle because defenders lose sight of him behind the larger bodies. Once a defender actually finds him, White said, two things can happen. One, he can lower his shoulder and run through you, as you’re not ready for him, or two, he hits you with his spin move that defenders from Alabama to Texas have fallen victim to. Edwards-Helaire led the SEC in broken tackle percentage, according to Sports Info Solutions.

“I always felt like that was a part of my game that I’ve never really had to worry about, the first guy, because I’m usually making him miss,” he said in September.

Edwards-Helaire doesn’t look like the prototypical running back. He’s not big. He’s not somebody who is gonna hit a hole and take off for 50 yards. But Edwards-Helaire is the modern back, a guy who can rush for 6.5 yards per carry, catch 55 passes and block well. He’s complete.

I like the pick of an RB but its reeruned for value. You could have traded down to middle to late 2nd round and still got this guy.

It is my belief hes the best RB for our system outside of Swift but that doesn't mean you disregard value. Nobody else wanted this guy until at least pick 47.

I like the pick. Swift or this guys. Im not going to complain. The OSU rb was a bad fit and the Wisconsin RB wasn't the best fit. The issue is if you go for this guy you can STILL get him 20 picks later with 90% certainty. By not trading down or picking him later the rest of the league has exploiting you in value.

He very well may be the best thing to happen to our offense since Mahomes but its still foolish value when you could have got him later for no problem.

Its like if your favorite steak is 25 dollara, but nobody else likes it and you still offer to pay the restaurant 50 dollara anyway.

ROAST IN PISS!

Wow, that's a really good point. I'm sure Veach never thought about it in terms of restaurant-quality steak.

That's a new one.

Congrats Detox, you got your man.

The only thing I'm going to say here in this thread, because it's about him, is that he fits the offense perfectly. He's a prototype for a Reid back and he's going to definitely help Pat and that group tremendously. All my other thoughts don't' much matter at this point.

Oh and PS to a few people... Veach didn't draft Mahomes, just sayin'.

Love this pick. Going RB at 32 was definitely the exciting option.

We sure up the line and this offence will once again be on a whole other level.

Keen to see how the rest of the draft pans out

BWillie is that guy who you know could be smart, he's got a good brain, but there's a switch somewhere up there that's just permanently stuck on stupid.

I loved this player but also thought we would consider Swift or Dobbins.

Based on the remarks by Veach and Reid CEH as a receiver/all around weapon moved CEH into must have toy for the offense.

i haven't read the rest of the most recent posts, but...

is that all you took out of that interview?

how about the fact veach asked mahomes opinion on whom to draft.

that's ****ing awesome!! :thumb:

I liked Swift a little better, but CEH will no doubt be a stud in this offense.

Same, but I trust in Veach and Reid.

A typical dumbshit drafturbator “value” obsession.

The “value” argument has some solid ground in a vacuum, but two parties are needed for a trade. They added some great talent to the team and they’ve earned my benefit of the doubt.

YOU would be ****ing reeruned for value, if you had any value.

ROFL
LMAO

I'm just glad we got a good football player. Keep adding those and the draft takes care of itself.

frozenqueef is ULi'lQueefyBurger.

No-one knows how this is gonna play out in terms of Ceh, Swift, Taylor and Dobbins and who has the best career. But honestly watching Swift's tape left me underwhelmed. He's quick, can catch the ball and his cuts can be deadly but I never saw anything truly special about him tbh. Taylor is not really a great scheme fit and his fumbles, workload and lack of receiving production obviously worked against him. Dobbins was someone I watched closely and he was electric as a runner and very tough...not as gifted catching the ball as Ceh though which probably made the difference.

All in all I'm very happy with this pick..Ceh's stop-start skills honestly reminds me of Barry Sanders...it's crazy. His ability as a WR is also top class..his receiving stats last season were actually better than Mccafrey in his last year in collage. The fact Pat chose him speaks volumes too.

Lol babbleLOSER still crying wolf to the mods i see!!!...what a silly douche he is :D

Reid could scheme me to get 4 ypc so the pick is good. Hope he gets reps at WR

This pick sort of makes the Thompson pick last year irrelevant. Two small RBs. I know Thompson was not picking up the offense to well last year but man, they are a lot alike IMO.

:LOL:

thought the same thing.

Yeah, if Thompson doesn’t absolutely ball out in camp(if that’s even a thing this year)I think he’s gone. I get that he was a rookie but the mental mistakes late in the season were unacceptable. The failure to get eyes on Pat as the hot read and the fact that it sure seemed to me that he thought he couldn’t advance the fumbled KO in the Texans game(go back and watch that. He should’ve scored on that play. He hesitated on the return when no one was near him yet)stick out the most.

You don't make a 1st round selection based off how you feel about your 6th rounder.

Damian
CEH
Washington

Those 3 are locked for the roster, they may keep 1 more and let all the other guys battle out or they may all be gone but this is a remade RB room.

Good Morning Football gushing about our pick. Schrager said we won the draft.
