When I went after fields, after the fact a couple of the other owners asked me why I included Pacheco, as they both believed 2x 1sts was enough.
Mostly agree, but they'd have to use a high pick (no sense duplicating what they have already) and I don't see that happening. Last year, I thought he'd disappear into the background, too, but he's getting the touches. So, I get it. I feel it. Haven't actually seen it. (BTW, the back they need is Hunt, but that can't happen.)
Pacheco was a 7th round pick. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a high pick to put Pacheco in danger of losing snaps - but I also wouldn’t rule out a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
I had him in 4 leagues. Tried trading him away and was only successful in 2. I don’t regret those trades but now I feel better where I failed to trade him. He’s not home free but maybe Reid really does like him as much as he claims.
His owners will never be comfortable with him long term. Being a 7th round pick, there will always be a threat of replacement, unless he makes it where the Chiefs can't take him off the field.
This is certainly true, but so far it is looking good. Even if he is 1A for this coming year it would be a win for those that roster him (and possibly present an opportunity to sell higher).
Huge W for Pacheco
Yep - unfortunately I dealt him away.
Agree.
Saw a movie like that once. Never again.
If his shoulder is secretly nicknamed “Jerick McKinnon” then yes, his shoulder kept him out of the passing game.
Agreed on all counts.
Passing game scouting that I've read:
I must be missing something as the Chiefs did not draft a RB this year.
Sorry, they signed him as a FA after the draft.

CEH owners weren’t too worried about 7th round Pacheco, either.
I think CEH owners were very worried about the backfield last year. Maybe not Pacecho specifically but it was clear he was a sinking ship.
We’ll see what happens but I wouldn’t be shocked at all if Deneric gets a meaningful role in that offense. They paid him like a player who has a chance to contribute at least.
Sure. Sounds a lot like Pacheco.
Exactly.
Except they already have a Pacheco. Last year they didn't. I mean anything can happen but it be very surprising if the UDFA surpassed his more dense, more explosive playoff seasoned counterpart
Life is full of surprises my friend.
That's very true
Yeah I don’t love that for him. At least they should be the types of injuries that fully heal and don’t cause any performance concer for the year. Much better than dealing with a lower body muscle or joint.
When did those things happen? It also could be that he'll start the preseason on the PUP (which is a totally different thing).
During last season. He had shoulder surgery after the SB. A doctor I saw said even if he’s on the latest end of the typical recovery, that’s still mid August and RBs return without any dip in production or concern for re-injury.
I'm thinking what jm read was probably about preseason PUP - which many players coming off injuries start out on. He could return anytime if placed on that.
He's not going to be ready for the beginning of camp. Not much news other than that, but I would keep an eye on this situation.
You gotta love Pachecho. I think he catches 30-40 balls this year as they incorporate him even more into the offense. He is too big of a playmaker. Can take it to the house on any play, and Oddly enough he never did last year. He will this year for a 50+ yd TD run
The issue may be the more time he misses, the more likely KC may be to add a Fournette or Zeke.
