Welp. Looks like we need a RB.

Obliged sir.

I have a 4 year old daughter as well.

The girl twin is similar to her in a lot of ways but only to a point. She's weirdly thoughtful (I swear you cn see her sitting around thinking sometimes) and very type A - won't do anything until she's positive she can do it right. It's the damnedest thing. She wouldn't crawl until she could just...crawl. None of this army crawling or inchworm shit. She'd get down for a bit, decide she didn't like the view, sit back up. The mongoloid boy, meanwhile, is scooting all over the place and taking her stuff and knocking her over. And then one day she was just gone across the room at full throat. She was more mobile than he was within 48 hours of deciding she wanted to be mobile. She wouldn't feed herself until she could do a full pincher grip - she refused to do the smash and grab thing. Now the boy has a 2nd meal under his chair while she just sits there and can pick individual grains of rice up. She doesn't like to pull up on things because she can't cruise yet - but the moment she can cruise, she'll do it I'm sure. And she'll probably just skip the toddling phase and go from crawling to running marathons. She's just weird and manipulative. I worry that she's smarter than he all of us.

That mother!@#$ing boy, OTOH...{sigh}. He's the first to try everything and he just goddamn sucks at it forever. He's reckless and I'm pretty sure he's stupid. He climbs on everything, pulls on everything, hurls things across the room, gets into everything - the boy is a wrecking ball. But he's happier than a pig in shit all the time and thinks everything is just the funniest thing in the world.

I was not prepared for the boy. I'm probably going to kill him. Or more accurately just let him kill himself.

And the funniest part is that the two of them don't even look like distant cousins and neither of them look like the oldest. They're all three just a mis-mash of component features that we can generally find on their mother or I. Except for the blue eyes - nearest we can tell is that my mom has 'em but mine are brown, hers are green and nothing else about that lummox having blue eyes makes sense.

Twins are weird.

I'm throwing my hat in there on Alexander Mattison from bsu. He runs like Kareem, looks like Kareem, will hop people like Kareem and may be a little faster. And he should be available in the 3rd round like Kareem, we might have to trade out of 1 of our high 2nds back into the 3rd and pick up a late round pick for him but I think he is going to be a beast in the NFL.

Excellent. Forgot all about him. Definitely in the top 5 guys at the position if he declares.

Well he declared. If he's there in the 3rd he's worth a shot.

So I've been doing my research over the last couple of days and this seems to be the notion formed by some "draft experts"

1. Rodney Anderson would be the clear number one if he wasn't so injury prone

2. Bryce Love's stock has fallen due to a subpar season

3. Damien Harris is not a three-down back

4. Benny Snell's stats are amazing but much may depend on his 40 time

5. Darrell Henderson's stock is rising

6. David Montgomery could be the first one taken off the board

It's really gonna be interesting to see how Veach and co play this out. On one hand some folks like Kent Swanson are naively saying "the running back position doesn't matter and we can get someone on the third day". Whereas I think If we want a quality back we're gonna have to target one sooner than that.

Another player I think is well worth looking at is Jordan Scarlett. He looks a little like Charles to me. He's had off-field problems in the past but his skills and traits are very impressive imo.

[UChieffyBugger]

What does everyone think of the local boy Alex Barnes from K state? Any good?

[O.city]

I would sign Jaylen Richard in the offseason and make him the feature back in Andy's scheme and wreck souls.

Seriously, I think that dude would be perfect.

Coleman?

There’s currently one player among the 2019 free agent class that has a significant connection to the Chiefs and is a strong possibility for the team. That player is Tevin Coleman, currently of the Atlanta Falcons.

Coleman was drafted by the Falcons in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft out of the University of Indiana. He was coming off his best season ever with 270 attempts, 2,036 rushing yards, and 15 touchdowns. While he was at Indiana, he was mentored by his running backs coach, a man by the name of Deland McCullough.

Does that name sound familiar? Well it should, because McCullough is currently the running backs coach for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Coleman bought into coach McCullough’s system at Indiana and he reaped the rewards to the tune of being No. 2 in rushing yards in college football during the 2014 season (just a few hundred yards behind Melvin Gordon). He also finished that season avearging 7.5 yards per carry, just .5 behind former Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt.

“Tevin is a superb athlete, an all-around athlete. I mean you’re talking about a kid who was recruited not only as a running back, but as a corner by a Big 10 school, and as a receiver,” McCullough explained of Coleman in an interview at his pro day.

What's too much money?

Dion Lewis got basically 4 years $20 million.

I mean, I don't know. I probably wouldn't throw a fit at 4/20, but that's 10X Hunts salary. And that's not necessarily a reasonable expectation, but it's hard (for me) to divorce myself from those numbers.

Guys, I feel like you bypassed my Richard post to hastily.

Seriously, that dude could be had for not a whole lot if the Raiders let him go and he'd be absolutely perfect in this offense.

I'd agree with that. I just don't want to plow a ****load of resources into him. But yeah, looks like he moves well in space.

I'd bet you could get him for like, 3/12 with 8 guaranteed
