Do we have no sense of any value here? Say you get a 25% better RB. Was that worth it at all?

It's not just about the yards on the ground. It's also about the yards in the air.
I don't particularly know if Pacheco's success on the ground has caused defenses to stay honest against the run. McKinnon was ripping off 7 yards a carry in last year's AFCCG but the Bengals kept dropping 8.
If Bigsby tests well, he's 2nd round value. If you can add a guy who can not only get the yards you need but can somehow penetrate the defense's mindset the way Pacheco has yet to do, you may finally be able to keep them honest.
And then Mahomes eats.
