Would the Chiefs really draft a first round running back?

At this point, the running back position is in flux for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Ever since the team released Kareem Hunt for lying to them on multiple occasions about his involvement in an offseason assault in early December, the running game is clearly not as effective overall. The box score might lie and say there’s still plenty of production, but anyone watching can see that no current back quite has the same ability to shed tackles, secure the ball, run with power and vision, and serve as a reliable pass catcher. While some facets of Hunt’s game can be found in his replacements, the single package All-Pro simply no longer exists on this roster.
