Most would likely require a trade but just read a couple of days ago Hyde chances of making the Chiefs 53 are currently not good.

you had told me at midseason last year that Kareem Hunt would be the Cleveland Browns' RB2 heading into the 2019 season, I would have given you this look, as it appeared through the first few months of the 2018 campaign that he was headed for his second Pro Bowl nod in as many seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs.

But we all know Hunt is now a backup for the Browns instead of entering Year 3 as a starter for the Chiefs because of his actions off the field. Hunt was released by Kansas City in November after video surfaced of the running back shoving and kicking a woman during a February 2018 incident at a Cleveland hotel, and is set to serve an eight-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal-conduct policy, giving Nick Chubb room to breathe as the Browns' starting RB. Hunt, who signed with the Brownsin February, logged at least 1,200 scrimmage yards in each of his first two seasons in the league, so I expect he'll take carries away from Chubb once he is reinstated. The fresh-legged Hunt should provide a boost in his return as a versatile weapon with a knack for breaking tackles -- and it wouldn't be shocking to see him take over as the RB1 down the stretch.

Not one mention of a Cowboy. I was expecting to see Pollard or Morris! You got me all excited for nothing...

Penny might be good but my gosh was he a reach in the draft.

Nick Chubb is the obvious breakout.

He's in an offense that should be good, he's by himself for awhile, and oh by the way he's got legit talent.

Seattle has to be rock bottom in the NFL when it comes to draft talent evaluation.

Other than Earl Thomas, what early round pick has turned out successful for them in the Pete Carroll + John Schneider era? Bobby Wagner in the 2nd. But they've completely thrown away all their 1st round picks, either on mediocre players or dumb desperation trades for washed up offensive skill players. Dumb organization.

As a pure runner I always thought he was on the level of the elite prospects that have come out the last 5 years

And yet, when you get down to it, they have been a more successful team than Dallas in the past decade.

Jones-Drew may have played football and been good at it, but his attempts at providing 'insight' just plain suck. Everything the guy says is wrong. If he's says 'up', bet your last dime on 'down'.

You beat me to it. Whatever pops into his head at that moment.
