If that's the case, then show us where you were calling for that. Surely you have receipts.

The Colts are now running him into the ground and his production has begun dropping off and his injuries are starting to pile up.

At the time, CEH looked like the perfect match for the Chiefs offense. Ya'll act like Veach, Mahomes and many in the national media didn't see the same damn things Staylor and I did.

CEH hasn't been the star game breaker we had hoped, but he's far from the "bust" chiefs fans want to label him as.
I wasn't aware of him prior to the draft, so I was surprised when I saw the pick, but when I heard his measurables I was like wtf is that?

I wanted to take a shot at Claypool in the first and look for an rb in the middle rounds None of the RBs struck me as first round talents in that draft

But then what would OKchiefs have to bitch about?

You have to forgive him for being such a miserable ****, but it's not like this is the golden age of Chiefs football, so can you blame him?

That's not what's going on here. There were a pretty significant number of posters that did want Swift or Taylor over CEH before the pick was ultimately made. Or just didn't want any and preferred one of the WRs instead.

That was going to happen regardless. The guy is a grinder, it's just who he is. Taylor was one of those guys I didn't like because I didn't think he'd make it through a 2nd contract. If you were to take him, you'd have to accept the probability that you had him for 5 years and then had to let someone else pay him big money.

That's any RB ever for this team. They'd either play themselves out of a reasonable contract here or they'd be JAGs constantly churning through one year vet mins. There's not much grey area in the NFL when it comes to RBs unfortunately, especially for the Chiefs in particular.

Hindsight is a mother****er.

These guys talking like they were thinking WR the whole way are full of it.

The year CEH was drafted we had Hill, Watkins and a 2nd year Hardman.

We were fresh off a SB win with the touted "Legion of Zoom" crew at WR.

NO ONE was talking WR back then. We had the ****ing "LEGION OF ZOOM".

It's real easy to go back and say, "Oh we shoulda taken Higgens". Reality is we walked into the 2020 season "loaded" at WR and the only real glaring gap on the roster was RB.

How quickly we forget reality i guess.

Huh? It wouldn't have been controversial at all to talk about preparing for life after Watkins. Even then he'd not exactly been a beacon of health.

Am I full of shit, or did it come out afterwards that we were REALLY interested in Jeff Gladney and the Vikings got him just before we could? I swear I remember hearing or reading that.

Ubeja was pounding the table for Taylor.

Unfortunately, he was also under the table pounding that coyote.

Yeah, I'm going to have to wholeheartedly disagree with that notion that WR wasn't a realistic option to discuss in 2020. The Chiefs arguably were doing more diligence there than at any other position besides maybe CB and DL. A list of our interviews and visits before COVID ****ed everything for reference:

It wouldn't have been controversial, but that wasn't the line of thinking.

We had just witnessed Watkins catch the pass that took us the the SB, and then watched him burn Sherman IN the SB.

At the time, Watkins was a fan favorite and Hardman was this exciting up and coming player that was making all sorts of special teams plays.

WR was not an issue at the time or at the forefront of anyone's minds.

We still loved Frank Clark at the time too. We were high on Breeland and Ward, a killer rookie season from Thornhill, and we had prime Tyrann in the secondary.

We had given a big-ish contract to Hitchens and he was our core LB.

We had Fisher and Schwartz at tackle.

It was real ****ing easy to look at the roster, look at the draft, and then project who the Chiefs would pick.

I called the CEH pick several days before the draft. Not because i know wtf im doing, but because it was by far the most obvious answer.

Chiefs were in a "Luxury" pick state of mind, and the only "hole" on the roster was RB. Then you had this CEH guy who had what looked like the IDEAL skillset for this offense, and who'd be available around our pick. It was an obvious no-brainer.

Can't come back years later and declare what we "shold've" done. Totally disingenuous when you consider the state of the Chiefs at the time.

I think i laid out the mindset of the Chiefs and the state of the team pretty well.

No one was seriously considering a 4th string WR as a realistic option for a 1st round draft pick.
