I could be completely wrong, but I do not see the Chiefs investing in an early round running back with Damien Williams, Darrel Williams, Darwin Thompson and also Elijah McGuire and Mike Weber currently on practice squad.

Big needs are CB, MLB, and so on...

Unlikely, and yes CB, LB and even more so, IOL are needs. Even WR qnd TE2 over RB once Sammy and possibly Robinson are gone. Etienne would be a perfect fit in this offense. As a strictly value proposition though, i would not hate CEH from LSU rounds later. Dude has shown great elusiveness, balance, quickness and vision in several games I saw him play this season.

Yeah, Clyde Edwards-Helaire reminds me a lot of Maurice Jones-Drew. He’s a short, squatty, powerful guy. Might really just be a 3rd down back but has enough power he might be able to carve out a feature back role in the right systems.
