could shine with us. We really needed another End with upside after the Cam Sample and Myles Murphy injuries and Gunter retiring.
The NFL adjusts in waves. Just like I think Chase being in the Slot more on Offense could be a thing of the future, a big FB that punishes
these smaller Linebackers could be a way to combat their speed.
A FB usually takes the place of an eligible receiver. Having one that can catch the ball and be a solid blocker could be invaluable. A guy that I really wanted us to draft in the 7th was Carson Steele from UCLA. I think he does both well and will become a weapon. Of course KC signed him as an UDFA and he played very good this preseason making their 53.

Carson Steele’s almost touchdown run was so beautiful. The Chiefs preseason sensation worked his way to RB2 this summer. He runs downhill fast and is physical through contact. This is well blocked and Steele does the rest. Crocky J would be proud. ? ? pic.twitter.com/ft5w7UasFr
