On a bad day passing the football we pass for 7.5 YPA attempt. On an amazing day running it, we run for 7.3 YPA. I just don't care about getting some HR hitter RB in here when all a hand-off does is take the ball out of Mahomes hands.
If we can stumble into one with a 4th round pick or some cast-off RB that doesn't take up any cap space - sure, why not? But that's not terribly likely.
Instead we should focus on getting younger with our pass catchers and improving our pass defense. Be that the DL, safeties or continuing to improve the athleticism at LB. This team is built to score points in the air and do so quickly, then put pressure on the opposing offense to respond in kind.
Play to you strengths. The CEH draft pick is a sunk cost. If he's going out there and taking advantage of soft boxes while getting the yardage his line can power block for him in short yardage situations - that's good enough to focus your cap space and draft capital elsewhere.

This 100%. CEH isn’t a superstar, but he’s more than serviceable for this team.

One of the best plays Matt has ever made.
