What the Super Bowl teams are paying their RB Positions

The Chiefs spent a 1st rounder on Clyde Edwards Helaire a few years ago and he has not shown much. They drafted Pacheco in the 7th round and already has proven to be the better player.

Zeke was such a terrible pick...and because they took him so high, they were going to extend him for sure. All that for only four years of worthy production. He needed to have a Derrick Henry-like career to justify everything they spent on him.
 
A perfect example of the many horrible resource allocation decisions the general manager has made. The GM has a flawed philosophy about team construction.

edit to add: It's not just about dollars either, it's also about draft capital.

This team will never learn. Jerry will continue running it like he does. Why change when he has the most valuable franchise on the planet?
 
This is why I would give Pollard a franchise tag in a heartbeat, but I'm tapping the breaks on a long term deal. 1 year of a high salary wont kill you, but you need to have a replacement ready to go for 2024.
I agree. Release Zeke, Tyron and let Shultz walk and tag Pollard. Then draft another back in the mid rounds.

He tore his leg up.

That speed is not the same now.

10,000 all purpose yards is not a wasted pick.
