Travis Etienne
So if the Chiefs are drafting in the late first round and he's sitting there, thoughts?
I'm usually anti RB early, but I've kind of changed my tune seeing what these dudes that can catch and run can do for an offense. I think he can be a Kamara type dude and in this offense that would be fun. |

I prefer Taylor. Bigger, stronger, and better contact balance. I will admit Etienne is better in the passing game though.

Taylor has been given a lot of carries in that Wisconsin offense and isn't the pass catcher. No thanks.

He won’t be available to us. Fits Andy’s offense though.

#1. I think that's at least a good round too early.
#2. I'm not sure if he's a 3 down back. #3. I don't like his running style. I really like the depth in this RB class. Wouldn't get antsy to make a move like this at all. |

I'd prefer to have him in the 2nd. If they could go CB, then him, that would be perfect. I'm afraid he'll end up testing too well though. Probably have to look elsewhere for a RB which is fine, but I think he could be a Kamara/ Mccaffrey type in this offense.
He's such a good pass catcher and in the open field, why couldn't he be a 3 down back and does that really matter anymore anyway? |

Nope. Sorry but as much as I'd love to take a RB there I just can't. We need to draft a CB, even with Fenton and Ward, and regardless of what we do with out FA.
Now in the 2nd or 3rd, I'd have no problem but we better be drafting some decent fatties too. This is where I think a Chris Jones trade can really help the Chiefs by not having to pay that contract and by getting us an additional 1st and probably 3rd round pick in a draft that should have some nice play makers. |

IMO picking a quality RB early may be needed because our running game this year has totally stunk. Here are the backs to consider.
Taylor Swift Dobbins Harris Hubbard Ettiene Moss Taylor has a lot of carries under his belt and is a proven runner who gets yards and can take it to the house on any given play..he would probably be the safest pick of the bunch. Swift is so shifty and agile...very fast but a smaller kind of back. He can catch too and would fit well with our offense I think. Harris is built like Gurley and doesn't have as much carries as the likes of Taylor. When he's in the mood he's a big threat both running and catching and I think he's a very intriguing talent. Dobbins has it all imo. He can run hard between the tackles, run routes out of the slot etc..very impressive. Hubbard is a new name on the scene and he's simply electric...probably the fastest guy on this list and is a home-run threat everytime he gets the ball..slim, agile and tall too. He's the sort of kid who could be a massive success or a bust I think. Ettiene has a ton of yards and TD's and is a master in the redzone but his ability to catch the ball isn't proven yet but I think he'd do well here. Moss has been compared to Hunt in terms of his build and running style I think we have a huge opportunity to get a top class back and with Sammy likely departing I think this is critical in order to make sure our offense remains elite. |

If you have 2 first round picks, then by all means take one at the end of the first round.

There's one missing from that list I'd like to add....If the Chiefs can nab Lamical Perine (Florida) late day 2 or on day 3, Im good. Perfect fit in the Chiefs offense. Productive behind a poor line. Versatile, 3-down back and would be an awesome value later in the draft permitting the Chiefs to address arguably more urgent needs (O-line, LB, CB etc)

If we're going to pick a low value position in the first round, I'd rather it be an LB.
