Free agent/Draft RB - ChiefsPlanet

They've gotta look for someone back there. What they've got just isn't good enough.

I think Saquon would be fun but he's played himself into a nice contract me thinks.

Same with Josh Jacobs. Man, he's ran so hard this year.

Any body have ideas there?

I like the kid from A&M alot, but I think he goes higher than we wanna spend a pick. But damn, he'd be perfect.

Tony Pollard would be nice

I like Pollard alot. I just dunno that I wanna pay for a RB, but they can't keep sucking back there like they are now.

Need to fix the line. That's the biggest problem with the running game. And the passing game, for that matter.

Please. He’s probably a late 2nd rounder with his size?

But I thought Veach got all this credit for his one year rebuild of the OL? On paper it should be infinitely better than the group of Reiter, Wylie, and LDT on the interior. But we’ve only seen marginal, if any, improvement. What gives?

They just rebuilt it last year.

I'd say add a long term RT but that's about it.

I really like the kid from UAB, DeWayne McBride

Unless there's a killer deal to be had, the Chiefs already have Clyde and Pacheco under contract, so I don't see any need for RB free agent signings.

I'd build through the draft. Spend a pick on the 2nd day if possible.

I know we have a bitter taste in our mouths with undersized RBs after CEH, Darwin Award, etc... but man I'd be curious to see how Deuce Vaughn translates to the NFL.

He's been outpacing Sproles at K-State, who had his own great NFL career. He's even got similar vision, acceleration & possibly better wiggle.

He's a stud. My lone worry is his ability to hold up in the NFL with his size. He's tiny. 5'5" 160 might be his real size. I just don't know man... but he is a playmaker. I've seen varying ratings so far but seems he's in the 3rd round range.

Devon Achane, Jamaal Charles long lost brother/sarcasm

That kid is who I want KC to target in the 2023 Draft

I’d hope he falls to the 5th. I wouldn’t want to drop more than that on a dude his size. But I think he’ll perform.

RE: Sproles: he’s a tick less explosive/jittery than Sproles was, and that might be exaggerated by the fact that there was less team speed on defense in those days.

But I think he’s worth a look. Kid is a fast, tough, strong, smart runner. I’ve been impressed. Especially when they got down to their 18th string QB and everyone knew where the ball was going.

Another speedy back to consider... Keaton Mitchell. I think he plays faster than Achane, honestly, but I do like Achane.
