The fact that the Chiefs got their guy when all these players were gone is amazing. I think people will forget who was actually available when CEH was taken.
I've seen people upset that the Chiefs took CEH over Xavier McKinney. A friggin safety? And one that CEH PERSONALLY EMBARRASSED in the LSU / Alabama game.
Man I'm happy about this and will forever chalk up a win for Dane on talking us all into running back in the first as a concept.

CEH embarrassed a TON of guys that are going to be drawing NFL paychecks in that 'bama game. He had more spectacular games here and there, but nothing that more demonstrated how his strengths will translate at the next level.
He probably cost Trevon Diggs $1 million on his rookie contract. If the dude goes 6 spots sooner he's a million dollars richer. I gotta think a couple teams in the early 2nd happened to see one of the half-dozen times CEH put the kid in a body bag and thought "well maybe we'll move him down a spot or two on our big board..."
All it took was one spot further down the board to the team that would've otherwise taken him (with a whole lot of secondary needy teams picking at the top of the 2nd) to have nerfed that 1st contract in a big way.
CEH just murdered Diggs that day.
