I was far too tired to process this last night, but on reflection, I think I mostly mirror KCCrow's thoughts.
Does this make the Chiefs better? Yes, it really does. At the end of the day, that's what you're aiming for in the draft. The fact that he's capable of having an impact in the pass game is really the selling point for me, As the Chiefs are going to passing the ball two thirds of the time regardless of who the running back is.
There was no "slam dunk" other pick that I would have taken over a RB, people have already mentioned Mims, Fulton, Epenesa, McKinney, Delpit etc. Those were all intriguing options as well and I wouldn't have minded any of them.
Where Fulton will go is the interesting one for me now, as he was very high up a lot of boards.
