He’s got elite start/stop ability. It really does remind me of Tyreek. Add the 4.39 long speed.

This guy is what we hoped Clyde would be, but he’s got way more juice. He’s also going to replace Steele on kickoff returns.

I have no clue how this guy lasted so long

This was good work by Veach.

Every time we said “has to be a RB, right? All the good ones are getting picked!”, he stayed the course. So many to choose from, he just let teams take the guys that were repetitive to what he already had.

Then, moved up late and took a guy who slipped.

Good stuff.

This guy’s so perfect for Andy it’s crazy.

He’s our new gadget guy, pass catching back, return specialist, big playmaker, home run hitter….etc

Veach just pulled another Pacheco. A 7th round RB that teams will have to worry about when they play KC.

Yeah, he's not a true 3rd down back.

Yet.

He's a guy you use on some occasional outside zone as a tendency breaker but really I think you use him in motion out of the backfield a lot and between the 20s in 1st and 2nd down spots where you could still run so the defense isn't likely to just sell out to blitz.

Maybe in a year or so he's a legit 3rd down back that can stand in there and take on a blitzer. I think that's asking a bit too much of him for now.

RunKC 04-26-2025 04:32 PM

He’s so good as a receiver. We didn’t have this on the roster last year and it hurt the offense badly. We haven’t had a receiving back like this since McKinnon in 2022.

Oh yeah he’s gonna fit in real nice

Woo buddy he’s gonna return some kickoffs too

I wanted this guy in the 4th...and figured we missed out.
He was still there in the 5th! I was kind of bummed when we passed on him.

I didn't even dream he'd still be there in the 7th!

Home run pick.

FIRST BALLOT HALL OF FAMER, IMHO.

I think 19 had been picked when we chose in the 5th.

The odds of another 'run' on RBs was about zero.

Holding tight made all the sense in the world. Then make a move when Martinez left and the next team looking to take a RB might take the last one you actually wanted.

He played it perfectly.

Remember MEH’s supposed strength was passing blocking… and nothing else.

Worth sacrificing a little pass blocking from a RB to add explosiveness.

Yeah, but if he doesn’t pass block, he wont get on the field.

Bl00dyBizkitz 04-26-2025 04:34 PM

Great selection for the 7th round. Seems like this guy will get to do at least something year 1, whether it be returning kicks or spelling for Pop/Hunt.

wazu 04-26-2025 04:34 PM

So this guy is basically Jahmyr Gibbs is what I'm gathering.

dirk digler 04-26-2025 04:34 PM

oh **** yeah. Nice job Veach.

Easy 6 04-26-2025 04:34 PM

I am LEGIT getting shades of Joe Delaney here HOLY SHIT

Just go to 1:30 of Dantes 7th vid and watch that little sucker pick his way through that mess... and he runs a 4.28 :whackit::whackit::whackit::whackit::whackit::whackit:

Dark Horse 04-26-2025 04:37 PM

His size build and speed remind me of Jamaal Charles. I’m not comparing his game to Charles just his look.

ForeverIowan 04-26-2025 04:37 PM

Warrick Dunn 2.0 boys and girls!

Easy 6 04-26-2025 04:40 PM

And he's not even tiny at all, respectable size at 5'10 195

Thats the sizzle we've been looking for, Brett :bravo:

The McKinnon role required great blocking.

One of the reasons why the CEH pick failed was his blocking didn't allow him to be used a receiving weapon.
