Not a bad pick but Jamaal Charles broke out last year and they seem to be moving away from him. Not sure it makes much sense. Remember they got Thomas Jones now too.

 

Jamaal Charles if I am not mistaken lead the league in the second half of the season in rushing yards other than obviously Chris Johnson. He killed it and now they are going to not even use him.

Twitter buzz is that they intend on using McCluster as a WR/KR more than as a RB. Percy Harvin type perhaps.

What makes you think they're not going to use him?

Two things, I don't know if Charlesw should be taking a full beating for 16 games, and also, McCluster could play the slot.

 

Edit: And now the Chiefs have announced that he will be listed as a WR.

Jamaal Charles had 1,100+ yards and a 5.9 yards per carry last year. He didn't get the ball much at all until 6-7 games into the season.

 

In the last eight games he had 5 games over 100 yards including each of the last four games. He had 968 yards in the final 8 games and only got 20+ carries in half the games.

That's why they pretty much drafted McCluster as Reggie Bush.

Ah. That makes a lot more sense. Charles isn't a big RB. He's not small either but is more of a slasher from what I know. Pairing him with Thomas Jones is a great pairing. McCluster being a WR, which he said he is 100% fine being, is a good pick.

I'm worried the Chiefs just acquired the next Chris Johnson.

Why are you worried?

 

Because I don't like the Chiefs.

lame

 

I bet Rick Ankiel's a Chiefs fan.

DON'T YOU PUT THAT VOODOO ON ME

I agree with this, and may be letting myself drink to kool-aid, but there should also be a Tackle left at 50 or 68 for them to draft.

If they used him like Reggie Bush there wouldn't be enough carries to go around between Jones, Charles and McCluster. Plus Charles is a very good receiving back. He had 40 catches last season in the half season of starting.

Claussen's gotta go here. Holmgren wants a QB if he's running the show in Cleveland.

They like McCoy more. It's him if it's a QB.
