    Just discovered the Chiefs do not have a 4th rounder in 2019, as they had traded it for Raglund. Won’t be any RB taken in round 4, unless the Chiefs acquire a 4th rounder somehow via a trade.

    The thing about Barnes is I dont know if he is big enough to play RB in the NFL, his long term durability would be a big question mark for me and I think he would be better served swithing to a slot reciever role

    Alex Barnes is listed at 6-1, 227 lbs & as far as I know, there are no durability issues with him. If you are talking about Love, he’s listed as 5-10, and 196 lbs and long-term durability would be a question mark in the case of Love.

    But with Damien Williams being extended for two more years, I don’t anticipate a RB being taken in the top 3 rounds by KC. They don’t have a 4th rounder in 2019, but might be able to land a 5th round diamond-in-the-rough at the RB position. We can only hope.

    But, at the end of the day, I wish the Kareem Hunt scenario had never happened. Without him, drives are stalling more frequently, more FG attempts are being tried, and less TD’s are being scored.

    Okay, let me revise this & hope it makes everybody happy.

    Let’s go Defense with the top 3 picks, but if either Bryce Love or Trayveon Williams (if he declares & I think he will) is there at pick #94 in round 3, then why not take one of those two?

    Either one can add an explosive element to the Chiefs backfield.

    Out of the running backs I’ve seen so far, he’s the one that reminds me the most of Hunt.

    While I’m definitely in the camp of “We need db’s”, it’s logical to think that Reid or Veach will look at Hunt’s departure as a spot to fill on the roster next draft.

    What I’d love to see at RB would be a hybrid of what we had with Christian Okoye & Kareem Hunt, somebody that would have Okoye’s ability to move the opposing D line back late in games, but still have Hunt’s moves and ability to hang onto the ball.

    That would be this guy if he declares. Kansas State RB Alex Barnes 6-1 and 227 lbs.

    I’ll sidetrack here and present to you a possible CB candidate with the Chiefs TOP draft pick:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=bPq5jA_Qayc

    Amani Oruwariye , CB, Penn State 6-1, 203 lbs

    Right now projected as a possible late 1st rounder or early 2nd-rounder.

    Ive seen him play on tv and he is very good, ive given up on trying to get Greedy Williams, it would cost to much to move up in the first round to get him.

    Here are some stats on Oruwariye

    Thanks for the info, C4L. This is a player that they may be able to pick up by trading down into the top of round 2 (same as they did with Chris Jones in 2016).

    he seems to be very aware of where the ball is. something our current secondary lacks.

    Honestly i dont really have that much faith in our drafting. Our last 2 high picks have been flops. Speaks and kass whos been inactive the past few games who to me is better then speaks. I really dont see any talent in speaks. Hes slow. I think we might land S Earl Thomas durimg free agency and we cut or trade berry. But when it comes to drafting im not all that impressed when it comes to drafting defense i should say. We should dradt heavy on cb and safety. Also i want them to start lucas and ward rest of the playoffs. Lets keep the faster more energetic young okayers on the field. Id like to see cb smith to get more playing time as well. Smith is faster than ward amd should be able to stick with the faster receivers better.

    Agreed about Lucas and Ward. Lucas is better than either Parker or Murray (who has disappointed) and Ward is probably better than Scandrick, as Ward may develop into a good player with a bright future, whereas Scandrick was just a stop-gap measure & will probably be gone after this season.

    As for K-Pass, he needs more playing time, but for unknown reasons isn’t getting it. As for Speaks, he’s strictly an up the field player & it is very grievous to see Sutton try to have him drop back into coverage, as that is not his game.

    Speaking of Sutton, he better be ready to use his players correctly & make adjustments for this game against Indy.
