I've tried to defend the pick to some extent in the past because of the level the offense was at and what a good RB could have done for the team. It proved to be a bad thought process and I should have stuck to my guns. You just don't get appreciably better production out of a 1st round RB as you do a later-round RB.
I agree with kccrow. Even at the time I didn't see what everyone (I don't mean that literally) saw in an undersized RB. I'm not completely against taking a RB in the first but sometimes players just need to play and leave the roster decisions up to Veach. I definitely would've preferred one of the larger RBs that had comparable or higher production in college.

I think what he did running behind a pretty shitty offensive line was admirable at times. He clearly was creating the majority of his yardage, or half of it.

I was thoroughly disappointed in his pass game usage but I can’t fault him for that. For whatever reason, Andy didn’t use him like I thought they drafted him specifically for. Maybe it was the lack of an offseason. Idk, it has to change.

Point being, I think the best is in the near future for CEH, by far.

1. Size is not even remotely an issue with CEH.

2. Mahomes didn’t make the pick. Veach did. You can’t possibly believe otherwise. That’s silly.

3. CEH was and still is the best fit for the Chiefs out of all the RB’s. We haven’t even gotten him involved in the passing game yet, so it doesn’t surprise me that people are disappointed. That will change.

He's not a prototypical LDE, but he is a talented player, and I'm sure Spags would be happy to have him.
Spags can use any talented player, I totally concur.:-)

I agree thoroughly and you fix our o-line and you will see why we picked him in the 1st.:-)

He lost the fire in KC! We all saw it. Two years ago nobody was sad to see him leave. Now some want him back thinking the outcome will be different!!!!

CEH averaged 4.4 ypc. Damien averaged 4.5 the year before but remember all the people posting about how his long runs didnt count. CEH did 4.4 without any run longer than 31.

One guy was playing behind a relatively healthy OL and the other was playing behind a bunch of 2nd and 3rd stringers.

Not to mention CEH probably had more rushing yards than Williams has ever had in a season.

But totally fair comparison!

it's ok. I had meant to include something about the o line anyway to further help clarify.

I would disagree that we didnt involve him in the passing game though. He got more than 50 targets in 13 games. Maybe he will run more advanced routes this next year but he was already involved.

I shouldn’t have said they didn’t involve him in the passing game, but that they didn’t to the level that I, or many, expected. I think part of that is because he went off the field on 3rd down so often due to pass blocking.

I fully expect him to be used more in the passing game next year.

Ingram is twice the player of Tanoh and Okafor if healthy.

Sign him up.

You guys can fight me all you want on the Justin Houston issue; I still like the guy and don't think he's washed up. Melvin Ingram would be a great contingency plan, but it's not my first choice
