Chiefs Fix for CEH...Fournette!! - Page 2

Leonard Fournette RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Leonard Fournette
The Athletic's Greg Auman believes that impending free agents Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones are both likely to depart Tampa Bay.

Fournette posted on Instagram on Tuesday, thanking his teammates and fans and notably referring to his time with the Buccaneers in the past tense. The Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud viewed it as a sign that Fournette is anticipating moving on. Fournette's departure could theoretically open up an opportunity for Jones, but Jones was barely used in any capacity for most of 2021 and seems very likely to hit the open market. If both running backs depart, Ke'Shawn Vaughn would step in as the Buccaneers starter, for the time being at least. Auman expects that the Buccaneers will ultimately draft a running back or bring in another veteran to help fill out their depth chart. Still, Vaugn looks like a worthwhile best ball dart throw. Fournette is unlikely to take full control of his next backfield the way he did in Tampa Bay, but the 27-year-old is a capable receiver and goal-line presence.

Fournette can do everything! I love the thought of Fournette on the Chiefs, he can catch, he can run, he is great on the goal line. Especially with our O line!

Here is our chance to fix the CEH miss. What say you?

Im good with that as well and believe that is the plan currently.

But I think signing Fournette for reasonable money and using that pick on something else is a much better improvement, immediately.

Melvin Gordon would be perfect for the Chiefs. (Except for the fumbles)

CEH isn't nearly as bad as people think. He averaged 4.3 YPC in 2021 in the regular season. That's very respectable.

Im not giving up on CEH completely but I want an insurance policy or better just in case.

Those numbers are misleading in my opinion. With teams playing two high safeties, dropping 8 into coverage and daring us to run, 4.3 ypc seems like any JAG could get that. Those defenses are a RBs dream to play against and a Good/Great RB would change the way a defense plays against us.

Because the O line opened massive holes. He is completely average.

Oh good.

Another RB that can’t get to the corner.

Sounds like a great plan.

The answer is Chase Edmonds.

Couch-Potato · 03-09-2022, 11:13 AM

McCaffrey, Saquon, and likely Kamara are all available via trade but wouldn't mind Fournette either.

Derrick Gore works for me

King_Chief_Fan · 03-09-2022, 11:19 AM

Brain dead Andy and his assistant are too dumb to use a rb. see Chiefs bs. Bengals... all they had to do was run the ball to win on 2nd half

We have 2 that can run the ball if given a chance in the right situations

Fournette does NOT require a draft pick, he also wouldnt cost near as much as those other guys.

Outside of Saquon maybe, those other guys are out of range.

I like Chase Edmonds, yes he can get to the edge, wouldnt mind adding him at all. BUT he is another small guy that is easily injured and wont get the short yardage or goal line.

If you havent really watched Fournette, you should. He can do it all.

If Breece Hall falls into the 3rd round I would go get him. He is going to be a superstar if he is drafted by a high level offense.

Hall ran himself into the mid-2nd, IMO. Maybe late 2nd.

I can't see him being there by the late 3rd.

I agree there. A lot of later round picks to use if we want to move around in the draft however. The majority of the fanbase would freak out if we spent a late 2nd/early third on another running back but Breece Hall is your answer at the position for the foreseeable future (homerun speed, great pass catcher, physicality to run between tackles). Let Clyde be a true change of pace and third down back.

Nope. Not now.
