Chargers scare me the most because they keep adding studs to that D. Added Chris Harris and Murray and they get James back for a full year with Ingram and Bosa makes for a stout D.
This is true. Having a back that can run in close quarters will help this team a lot and you are correct that putting ourselves in very manageable 3rd and short will result in more runs which means more protection for Pat. Misunderstood your original post.
Im not sure we will be running any more. I actually see Andy going crazy with CEH being split out and running tons of routes and motioning him and Hill. It’s gonna be wild this year. Defenses gonna be miserable
I think their reaction before the pick was calm and collected because they knew who they wanted. They waited in case someone made them an offer they couldn’t refuse. Pat was happy and Peter S reporter that some gems were upset with the pick. It wasn’t want many of us wanted but it was what the Chiefs wanted. Club controlled elite rb for 5 years is exactly what this O needed. Now we have elite playmakers at every level.
I would be upset to the point of asking for a trade. GB has wasted a generational talent by not giving him weapons and a decent oline. I’d want out after last night.
The Packers reached big time for Jordan Love when Rodgers has two above avg years left. They sold out their HOF qb for a qb prospect that can be had in most drafts (athletic raw qb) and to make matters worse it is draft that is loaded with stud wr's and lineman.
Speed looks fine to me. He's not a track star but he's got a good burst, great elusiveness and finishes strong. Andy Reid will have him all over the place and LB's won't be able to sleep on Sat night.
I thought there were 4-5 other players that I would have literally shouted for but this pick does make a lot of sense. We have become complacent with Damien Williams. He had an amazing playoff run but he benefits so much from our offense. We literally forget what this offense looks like with a legit threat at RB. We just drafted an elusive bowling ball that is an incredible route runner and pass catcher. We have him for 5 years at a very reasonable contract. We have a rb that has to be accounted for and we have good depth at that position now. Our offense will be better and there are still plenty of studs on D that can help our team in the bottom of the 2nd.
There are a lot of good players left and we will get a good one in round two. After Brooks, Queen and Murray were gone the only one left is Baun and that would be a position switch. From our interviews it doesn’t look like we consider it to be as big of a need as some thought. I was shocked we didn’t grab Kristian Fulton but our o is gonna be nasty.
