How high would you guys like to see Veach spend a draft pick on a RB?
Let's say we start talking about a Will Shipley, he's a 3rd round pick at worst. |

3rd day only. The Chiefs have too many other needs that are of higher priority than a RB to pair with Pacheco. In no particular order, WR-OT-DT and TE would be higher priority in the draft.

My boy Jacory Croskey-Merritt is going back to school I guess.
I am really, really high on Emani Bailey, especially if we don't opt to pick up a vet receiving back in FA. I just don't think Veach and Reid would keep two smaller backs on the roster if they do pick up a guy like, say, Chase Edmonds (really high on him to replace McKinnon). The guy who looks like a Veach-style late-round value pick is Kendall Milton out of Georgia. Big back with a good accelerator. |

I like Gibson, Penny, Zeke, or Jacobs in FA. In the draft Bucky Irving would be interesting, but I'm more in favor of a later round target like Gore Jr or Jaylen Wright. Wright had 7.4 yards per run in the SEC, how is he not better than a 7th rounder? Genuinely curious.

Agreed. I like Jaylen wright a lot. I wouldn’t pursue a FA rb either. This class is stacked up with talent. And guys like Keaton Mitchell go undrafted.

I'd look at a late round/UDFA take on Keilan Robinson. He can fill the role McKinnon filled. He's also a good pass protector and was elite as a gunner on special teams.

We didn’t watch the same video on wright. I was wondering if he had off the field problems bc his vision looked really good in the videos I saw.

I’d suspect Weight is suffering from some anti-Heupel system bias.
That system is pretty gimicky and creates a lot of advantageous looks for RB (up-tempo, spread the field) Heupel is also a shit bag who has no shame running it up and padding stats. What did Wright’s numbers look like against good SEC defenses? The only one he put up numbers against was UGA, and that was garbage time production in a blowout loss. |
