Round 3, Pick No. 87: Utah RB Zack Moss

The running back position just hasn’t been the same for Kansas City since they release Kareem Hunt in 2018. I’ve been a big proponent of letting things play out, but it is clear that the Chiefs need someone they can trust at the RB position. They’ve struggled to close out games at times because they just don’t have that rumbling powerful running back to lean on anymore.

Zack Moss has a punishing running style about him. He’s entirely unafraid of contact and doesn’t hesitate to run defenders over. One thing that is great about Moss is that he rarely goes down after first contact. Right now, he is currently ranked No. 5 in the FBS in yards after contact.

If the Chiefs don’t opt to take a running back earlier in the draft, they could well find another franchise running back in the third round. They’ve done a good job of finding talent at the position during that round, so why stray from what has worked in the past?
