Chiefs rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire named a winner of NFL offseason

In a Tuesday article detailing the winners and losers of the 2020 NFL offseason, ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell concentrated mostly on this offseason’s volatile free-agent quarterback market. But among the winners of the offseason, he highlighted just one player selected in the 2020 NFL draft: LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who was taken by the Kansas City Chiefs with the last pick of the first round.

Winner: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

Did any first-round pick end up in a more advantageous landing spot? Andy Reid told general manager Brett Veach that he thought Edwards-Helaire was better than Brian Westbrook before the Chiefs drafted the LSU back with the final pick of the first round.
