Smash second-round pick with workhorse role in KC's revamped run game.
Kenneth Walker IIIRB
Kenneth Walker is a smash pick in the second round; Kansas City signed him to a workhorse contract to add a running game and take pressure off Patrick Mahomes (returning from ACL tear). The offense has struggled without a strong run game and with cover-two defenses limiting downfield passing. Walker has shown elite ability (evidenced by his late-season/Super Bowl performance), and while injury history warrants caution, the situation and offense are fantastic.

I just love the upside of of Kenneth Walker... you clearly need something else there in the Kansas City offense to take a little bit off the the weight of Patrick Mahomes's shoulders... When you add a dude like Kenneth Walker for the contract that they gave him, they're doing that with workhorse workload in mind... He's got Patrick Mahomes who is coming back from the ACL tear, so they'll no doubt need to be leaning on the running back more... Kenneth Walker I think is a smash pick in the second.
