The Kansas Town Chiefs may possibly make a decision to tackle the managing again posture in the 2019 NFL Draft. Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com provided four names that could suit in Kansas Town.

This time past yr, Kansas Town Chiefs admirers would have laughed if someone advised drafting a managing again. They were far more than set at the posture.

How promptly issues adjust in a yr.

Whilst the Chiefs have Damien Williams for two far more a long time, he’s not the extended-expression alternative at the managing again posture. The Chiefs have to take into consideration drafting a managing again this yr and Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com experienced four names that he preferred for Kansas Town. Listed here are all those four gamers:

So, let us crack all those gamers down a little bit, shall we? Hill and Holyfield are the major names of course, but Armstead and Moore are certainly gifted as perfectly.

Hill tore it up throughout his time in Stillwater, dashing for 3,539 yards and 30 touchdowns in three seasons. His ideal season came as a sophomore in 2017 the place he experienced 268 carries for 1,467 yards and 15 touchdowns. Indicator me up for that sort of season in Kansas Town.

Armstead experienced two actually dominant seasons although at Temple with his ideal coming this previous yr. He went for around 1,000 yards for the 1st time in his collegiate vocation and experienced 13 touchdowns.

Jalin Moore arrives from a “smaller” faculty in Appalachian Point out, but boy can this kid enjoy or what? He only performed in five video games past yr, but the sample sizing from his 1st three a long time is rationale plenty of to devote a draft decide on him. He finished his four-yr vocation with 3,570 yards and 33 touchdowns.

Moore received the Sunshine Belt Offensive Participant of the Yr in 2016 right after dashing for 1,402 yards and 15 touchdowns. That was conveniently his ideal season and it came as a sophomore.

Lastly, Elijah Holyfield, who continues the listing of terrific managing backs to occur out of Georgia. Holyfield split time with some greats throughout his time in Athens, but he far more than held his own in the predominant position in 2018, carrying the rock 159 times for 1,018 yards and 7 touchdowns.

The managing again posture is not what it made use of to be in the NFL. Groups plug in lesser skills at the posture all the time and although the step down is recognizable, it is not likely to spoil a workforce.

When the Chiefs experienced drama unfold at managing again past yr, Damien Williams stepped in and did just fine. He did so perfectly that he acquired a two-yr extension as a outcome. That reveals that the Chiefs really don’t want to devote a substantial draft decide on the posture, but at the exact same time, they want to tackle it.

Any of these four gamers would do terrific in Kansas Town and three of them could undoubtedly be on the board on Day 3 of the draft. Justice Hill would probable call for a next or third spherical decide, but he’d certainly be worth it.

What do you believe, Chiefs admirers? Would you want any of these men in Kansas Town subsequent yr and further than?
