I know the position is undervalued, but Pacheco is an awfully important piece of this offense now, and moving forward. He's also going to wear down fast.
I'd like to address the RB2/split time spot in this draft. Mckinnon is probably close to done, and Clyde is not an answer long-term.
Who do you like? I'm not saying first round, or even second-but by the mid rounds, I'd be looking for an all-around back to split time with Pacheco. [Reply]

I don’t think Schrader is a 4th round guy. More likely to be towards the end of day 3.
It depends on how he runs. And what his 10-yard split looks like when he runs.
Does he have enough initial burst to be a good nfl back? I don’t know that he’s fast enough to translate against NFL defenses.
Austin Ekler is only expected to get a $6m prove it deal, could be interesting.
Braelon Allen looks pretty solid if we're looking for a bigger back in the draft to help block and push the pile on 4th and 1, but he's also got speed and agility.
Here's a guy no one's brought up yet...Black Corum, 5-8, 213 lbs, 1,111 yards, 4.7 per, 25 TDS!!! If there's an Archane in this draft, I'm pretty sure it's him. He's fast and makes guys miss with his side-steps and jump cuts, he's a jitter-bug type and a playmaker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uztGFNSOcI
Also, how much we paying to resign Pacheco after next season? Dude is criminally underpaid, currently. I'd guess $6m-$8m range? [Reply]

Corum is CEH 2.0 and doesn't have anywhere near Achane's speed. I mean, you're free to like him, he's not bad or anything but Clyde left a sour taste in my mouth. [Reply]
I like Jawhar Jordan. He would be a McKinnon replacement and an Achane like player. Not overly big. But super explosive and fast. Does run strong for his size. Would be a great compliment to Pacheco.

In my original text I asked if "Corum was CEH or Archane?" then changed it, I see what side you fall on lol [Reply]
Kids got vision and balance, great footwork, is comfortable in the passing game, plus a few different moves that he uses well to make him pretty illusive... check out that stiff arm he uses over and over.
Averaged over 1k yards the last 3 seasons, 800 yards catching over the last 2 seasons, 17 TD last season. [Reply]

Jacobs played slot in college, Ekler's known for his plus receiving skills.
I think Ekler’s on the downsize of his career. He only shines when running the ball, when he’s inside the 10, but,that seems to be where Chiefs struggle? [Reply]
