is because he was going to be the guy.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

He didn't have anybody else he was going to have to significantly share the backfield with.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

I'm sure that was absolutely a factor in his decision.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

If you told him that, hey, you're going to be the guy, that's not a situation where you can just call the guy up when you're on the clock and say, by the way, we're checking Jeremiah Love.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

So I don't know if either one of those guys would probably be real happy with the situation.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

And again, financially, mathematically speaking,

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

it just makes zero sense.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

You know, you're going to guarantee $30 million to Jeremiah Love.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

You've already guaranteed $30 million to Kenneth Walker.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

You can't, there's no, there's just no way that it makes any financial sense whatsoever to be guaranteeing $60 million to your running back room in this day and age in the NFL.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

I just don't see how the numbers add up.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

And maybe there's a world in which it makes sense, Seren, because I do firmly believe that one of the things that the Chiefs has really hurt their offense in recent years has been the fact that they haven't had an effective run game.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

I mean, the most effective run game they've really had in maybe the last four or five years has been when

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

uh... you know in the rookie year for president pacheco i mean that was it and yeah i want a super bowl but we've also seen the when the team has a truly effective running back and that often to something to be seen so

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

Hey, if your thought process is that you want to be ready in case Walker goes down, that you've got another guy that can go in there and keep the offense at a top three level, I can see the point.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

But things like that, just because they make sense on paper doesn't mean they're going to make sense and work out in real life.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

I think one of the things that would happen is that you'd probably have two unhappy guys in your backfield, and that can affect the team too.

The Program
H2 Matt Derrick

And you and I talked about this last night on Sunday Sound Off, Soren, that even the Chiefs, you need to come out of this draft with three or four starters that are going to be starting for you very quickly.
