Unless Dr.'s are telling Chiefs JC isn't going to be ready and then this is still way early and Hillis has carried the load before....a RB with this team's roster in the 2nd rd I think is a wasted pick.

I would think the best move would be Cody Johnson late. I don't think the Chiefs want Hillis all in as just a FB. I would like to see some heavy packages near the end zone.

Since the Chiefs will only use a FB in certain offensive sets, why would you need to draft a fullback if you can use Hillis in those sets?

As the passing game continues to evolves, the FB is becoming more and more a specialist position.

So that he doesn't get hurt playing that position and leaving us without a backup.
