63. Kansas City Chiefs (from SF)

J.K. Dobbins | RB | Ohio State

I love the idea of adding J.K. Dobbins to an already potent offense in Kansas City. Dobbins is coming from a college scheme that really fits what the Chiefs like to do at the RB position, with true three-down experience heading into the NFL. He shows great elusiveness in the open field, he can catch and when he doesn’t get the back he’s a good blocker. There is already another former Ohio State Buckeye in the RB room in Mike Weber, so he’ll feel right at home.

We can argue about the value of running backs until we’re all blue in the face. Dobbins would be the highest-drafted RB by the Chiefs since Larry Johnson in 2003 if he was selected here. But if landing one of the top players in the draft class at this position means spending a late second-round pick, I’m all for it.
