And honestly... given CEH's injury history? They're probably right.
Yeah, I’ve seen the hype. I watched some of his Rutgers vids and he definitely has a talent for breakaway runs. I don’t see as much talent for grinding and breaking out of tackles, but honestly the Chiefs running back stable isn’t the most competitive. Any one or no one could emerge as the clear leader. If the OL lives up to half of their hype, there should be opportunities for any of them. [Reply]

Hardman was in the top 10% of all NFL WR for yards per pattern run last year. People view him as gadget because that is the way Reid used him, with two HOF targets in front of him. He’s way under rated on this board. Hardman’s biggest limitation with the Chiefs is that if he has a good year, his new contract will be too rich for us to pay. So I agree that Skyy will play a bigger role in the Chiefs future, OROY or not. [Reply]

They tried to use him differently in years before and he failed. [Reply]
You could run me out there and Mahomes would find a way to praise me. But behind closed doors or when hes having fun in a more laid back setting hes a dog. [Reply]

I really believe that some of these rankings early on have to do with knowing more of the playbook at this point and executing what Andy wants and Jerick has a head start. But we'll see.:-) [Reply]

I think 3 is what you’d want from a typical draft, but with 4 picks in the first two rounds and 10 picks overall, I think we should expect more. [Reply]
