Summary

Kansas City Chiefs reevaluate the running back position as Andy Reid’s offensive philosophy faces fresh scrutiny. With only Brashard Smith under contract and the future of Isaiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt uncertain, Ryan Tracy and Chris Clark break down whether the modern NFL—and specifically the Chiefs—still value a true workhorse back. Will first-round prospect Jeremiah Love or affordable free agents like Jeremy McNichols or Brian Robinson reshape the Chiefs’ attack?

I run that spot for the Athletic matrix, for the draft last production metrics, everything that you need to know, plus my film grades in the draft guide, along with my staff over to NFL33.com and RGR Football.com. We got you all covered. And then we come in and we talk to Chris from the opposite side of it, in the cap and the business side, as well as the quarterback. As you can find Chris at Casey Chief's Corner, that's where he's working, and we've been doing this together a very long time. Going on 10 years and 10th offseason right now is in full swing. We have to take that back to what we're looking at today, the running back, and the value in Kansas City is different than anywhere else. So what does it mean to Andy Reed for the running back position, for a running back type? What is he like? Who does he lean towards? Then we're going to come back and we're going to tell you about the free agent options. We're going to run them down. We're going to take a look at them because they might not be what you're expecting when you take a look at who's actually available. And then the draft is the depth. It's the last piece, right? It's how you put the cherry on top in the running game and in the running back room. Today is all about running back. But we have to start because there's a little bit of news as well. We always bring in the news when it's important. A lot of rumor going around. And we're going to have more in-depth conversation about this tomorrow with Matt Derek when he joins us for his weekly spot with us.

2:18.6

Not as successful when he left here.

2:20.7

Kind of like a Belichick coach.

2:22.3

It just doesn't work when you leave this building.

2:24.7

The question becomes, Chris, just gut reaction and we'll sort it all out tomorrow.

2:29.5

Do you have any interest in Tyree Kill at 32 years old coming off of an ACL?
