On the treadmill everyday leading up to the draft I'd watch highlights of all the top RB's as unlike some, I was VERY confident that we would be taking an RB. All you had to do was look at the draft interviews to know they were gonna take one. I must admit the kid who looked top quality to me was Cam Akers...I watched him, Dobbins, Mcfarland, Taylor and Moss the most tbh. I only began to watch Ceh as we drew closer to draft day and only then did I realise what a monster he was. It's gonna be really interesting to see how these guys work out in the big league now.

Yep, same here. Now I'm confident however that CEH was the best fit for us in the draft.

I figured RB was high on Veach’s list. A lot of rumors were floating around on RB at #32, and once all of the first round LB’s were gone, I had a feeling RB would be the selection if they could have their pick of the litter. I thought CEH would be a great fit in the offense, but thought Veach and crew rated JK Dobbins over all others. They met with him a bunch, and there was a lot of chatter around Dobbins to KC.

Veach played the board right. Nearly all other viable backs were gone by the time KC’s second pick was up. Scoring WG with that pick, along with the Damien news elevated the CEH selection for me.

Swift. But CEH was a draft favorite of mine. He was perfect but the only concern I had was his burst. Everything else he is incredible. Receiving, blocking, instincts.

Wasn’t expecting a RB that high but I was hoping for Akers in around the 3rd round.

This

I like CEH a lot and am glad they took him but I think Akers could end up being just as good of a player long term
[Reply]

No other RB in the draft can do what CEH can do 'in this offense' and why AR and BV justified this pick in the first. I totally concur with you Otter:-)

Cam Akers was my draft crush. He reminded of Kareem Hunt than Zach Moss

We are in the middle of an auction draft for a new ffl league I'm in and Clyde's price keeps going up. He is just below the McCaffery, Barkley, and Elliott range but he may get there. I think that is crazy for a guy that hasn't played one game yet.
[Reply]

In normal circumstances yes, but this Chiefs team led by AR's genius play calling led by our GOAT QB "TRUMPS" all of that and you better take him IF you get the chance.:-)

This is an online draft and once you get the high bid the clock starts and everyone has 12 hours to increase the bid. I had the high bid for hours then there was a run that ran is price way up. I'm just trying to figure out if I should make a higher bid on Clyde or do I use that money to go after McCaffery and Saquon. I have a little time to think about it.
[Reply]

I think Mac and Barkeley are good solid picks but I don't think they will light it up like you will want this assuming they play. Because Williams is gone this makes CEH worth that higher bid because not only is Williams gone but you have AR and PM2 with the ideal toy to play with.:-)

I though we would nab a safety or a LB'er in the first and have a shot at a good RB, Clyde, in the second. Glad I'm not running the show because all the top S's and LB's I hoped would fall were gone.

I had JK ahead of Clyde. He's stronger between the T's and faster. But, I had no idea Clyde was an elite route runner. Had I known that it would have been Clyde hands down. This offense was already the most explosive in the NFL. Clyde on angle routes, outs, and shoots is gonna put defenses in a frenzy.

JK Dobbins

Yeah, with all love for the Chiefs you take the proven commodity. For all we know, CEH may not play in goal line situations or something.
