Not Barkley/Elliot your grandma could not screw up 1.1 kind of easy but other then those two as easy a 1.1 as I've ever seen. For me anyway but I'd be willing to bet I was as high or higher on on him predraft then anyone else, landing spot and draft pedigree was just some really unbelievable icing on the cake.
They site him as having "1 good year" also they said "He was the #4 or #5 RB before the draft and Taylor was #1 pre draft so we are sticking with Taylor as the #1 RB"
He did not. He said you can't have just one running back. Which is true. That's different than saying he envisions him as a committee back. It is also April and I'm sure he doesn't want to crown him. It's not fake news it's a stupid headline. As often happens.
because its not a slam dunk a la Zeke/Saquon, and on top of that the virus/lockdown and the rookies IMO will be the #2 in the RBBC to start the year for sure.
Oh? I have one of those. It's supposed to end this year. But this year might not even happen.
It's actually eight individual 12 team leagues where the top 4 from each compete for a 2 week points race weeks 15-16. No inter-trading. Can't even imagine that.
You summed up my internal struggle. I never would have imagined the Chiefs going RB in the first which has just thrown me for a loop. Had CEH at #3 behind Taylor and Dobbins predraft. Now with Taylor going to a great spot, Dobbins going to a good spot, and CEH landing in his perfect spot.....my brain is about to explode.
I agree and that is a non-issue for me. His height makes it hard for defenders to keep track of him and his lateral agility makes hit difficult to get a clean hit on. My biggest questions are his pass pro and only one good year of production on a record setting offense. His vision, lateral agility, and route running are his biggest strengths IMO.
Yeah, the episode dedicated entirely to him was a bit odd. They start off sky high on him, and the start dinging him on pass protection and size. They also conflated the two, saying his wingspan would always limit him in pass protection. I'm not going to pretend to understand the intricacies of RB pass blocking but that seemed like overthinking - and I overthink everything.
That's my plan with the 1/2 as well.I have the 1.1 and 1.2 picks in one of my 12 team PPR dynasty leagues. I'm taking Clyde and Taylor without hesitation. Oh, and my team is stacked, I traded for both picks
I'm not an expert on pass blocking either but to me it would seem wingspan is really only important for an OT where a guy could try and speed rush around the corner and the OT would need to keep him corralled/contained. When a RB is pass blocking it's usually not until the defender is right up on him and then it comes down to willingness, strength, balance and squaring him up.
Recognition too. But yeah this makes sense. Rbs are rarely engaging guys where length and hand to hand technique matter. Guys like Gore and Zeke look like they can barely lift their arms above their heads but are top rbs for pass blocking.
My thoughts too. They compared RB wingspans in this class and said CEH’s short arms meant pass rushers would get their hands on him first before he got his hands on them. NFL DEs are often a lot taller/longer than RBs so where would this not be the case? And like you say RBs aren’t engaging and locking up with rushers the way that linemen/TEs are. I mean, maybe Christian Okoye did?Dr. Octopus said:

He's not gonna be blocking DE's. He'll be picking up LB and S blitzes. Imagine getting a facefull of Isaiah Simmon's stiffarm while he's swinging right past you into Mahomes' grill.
Yeah but that would be the case with most RBs - even LBers are generally bigger than most RBs.
I'm in ppr and took CEH at 1 without much thought. In non-ppr, which I don't play in I'd view it as a toss up.
In the leagues I don't own CMC, he seems untradeable, and I have some stacked teams where I could offer 3 studs, only to be turned down. Good luck!
What's his hyped ceiling. It's amazing how people bring up "hype" that doesn't really exist. Of course in this thread people are excited about him, but I have not seen any outlandish predictions at all - in fact I haven't seen much as far as numbers being thrown around. People are calling him the 1.01 pick but what is illogical about that? I don't see that as hype, I see that as an educated choice.
Easy 1.1 for me but hard to get easier then Elliot and Barkley so I'm not going there but I do believe he'll be in mix for the RB1 as soon as next season.
Now Andy gets a run at a guy with a body type like his.
At least someone is 100% certain about 1.01...
. I love how long it took the other dudes to understand what this guys point was.
Not sure....I don't play dynasty....and i’m not the sharpest tool in the shed....but if I have a chance to snag the guy KC picked in the first round in the draft (when they have other areas they could have addressed with that pick)...and he is with a Mahomes/Reid offense for the foreseeable future....I might lean to going all in on that ####......its not like they won’t be scoring fantasy points.....KC has shown they recognize talent (Hunt)....too bad that didn’t work out or he would have been in the convo with. CMAC/BARK/ELLIOT/KAMARA for awhile and we never would have known about Dwilly....
