Hindsight is always an interesting game to play. It was a headscratcher to me to take 3 RB's in the draft. Easily could have taken the 3 picks, moved up for a good one and then taken an UDFA to top it off. Again, hindsight. I think that approach is what The Chiefs used to get Hunt. But yes, nitpicky. Good word to describe how I feel about it. No biggee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not against trading up for one or anything. But by the same token that guy or Ty could get hurt and we could ask "why didn't we take two backs" or what have you. It's a game the staff can rarely win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 We can agree to disagree on that. If you want to draft two. Great. Grab a third as an UDFA. But again, playing the hindsight game. I used Hunt as an example only because the Chiefs traded (I think) 3 picks to go get him. Could have inserted any name as I was more interested in the picks given up to go get a targeted player.

If we take Odom and Mays and pretend they exchanged spots... Then are we happy? Same thing really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Only they aren't. 7'th are drafted, UDFA's are not. 7'ths are not first shots are UDFA's. And...Odom wasn't ours as an UDFA. But am I happy then? Yes. But overall, I'm a pretty happy guy these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopackgonerd Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 They just need to give other guys a chance. Williams is a good pass blocker, don't know why we don't see him more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the kids just need an opportunity. And opportunity is there this week. I'm actually excited to see someone else back there. If not for the production and awareness, certainly for giving Monty a rest so he will last a few more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibrett15 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I don't think much will happen with either Ty or Williams until the run blocking is better and until we need to run the ball vs soft fronts. Jones is the guy who can create in space and make sharp cuts to make guys miss. Mays is the one with the most power. Either would be better fits for the state of our OL and run blocking. Williams is 2nd up because he can block. Ty has been ok but is playing too many snaps. I really like him as a 3rd down receiver, but you can't be a 3rd down back if you block like he does. Slowly, the coaches will give others a chance on 3rd down, and the rookies will show they are better than Ty at the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the names Jhurell Pressly, Don Jackson, Knile Davis? Just because they are the bench doesn't mean they will play good. GoPack stated an affirmative "know" regarding Jamal Williams pass blocking. Was just curious how he knew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
