Some fun here. Edwards-Helaire rushed for 1,415 yards and 16 touchdowns as a junior .. all-purpose yards -- receiving (55 receptions, 453 yards) and kick returner (KEY) 10 returns, 214 yards pic.twitter.com/3Duq1jjy6J
Holy offense Bat Man. I love Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He is best Rb in the draft. Watkins and Hill deep. Kelce in the middle. And Edwards-Helaire underneath. Good Luck defenses.
Brett Veach told Andy Reid to watch some Clyde Edwards-Helaire film and told Reid you’ll see Brian Westbrook. Reid watched. Then got back to Veach and said he’s better than Westbrook.
That's the issue. If you're a SB contender, you likely have really good players elsewhere and to stay a contender, you aren't gonna be able to sign them all. So take a guy that you could actually get some value out of as a DE or a WR or whatever spot that's hard to find later in the draft.
The other issue is a first round pick is someone you hope you can give a second contract to. If the RB hits, you aren't likely gonna wanna pay him anyway. [Reply]

Vision would be nice too, and any actual RB instincts. [Reply]

Not with RBs where you can safely plan to use them for 5 years then let them walk. Or even trade them to some stupid team like the Texans.
Another argument is it's going to be tough to find a pro-bowl-level DE at #32. But you should be able to find a pro-bowl RB at #32 easily (if you don't screw the pooch). [Reply]

Take a G then or a CB.
Just dont' take a RB in the first round. Ever. [Reply]

I'm not giving up on him even if I curbed my expectations. I just expected him play above his rookie season and hasn't happened yet. I think they need to work harder at establishing the run because our book end tackles suck in pass protection but better at run blocking. Keep rotating the backs Keep them fresh for the playoffs. I want to save McKinnon as much as possible for playoffs.

The odds are very low that you can find a Christian McCaffrey in the later rounds [Reply]

Words are nice but I'd like to see some action. This is getting ridiculous. CEH clearly isn't the answer at RB. He's too slow and doesn't have the ability to break many tackles other than a few plays here and there.
Move on from CEH and give his carries to Pacheco and McKinnon. [Reply]
