Draft Note by John Paulsen
Pacheco just couldn’t get it going after returning from a fractured fibula early in the season. He averaged just 35 rush yards on 9.8 carries post-injury and ultimately was playing behind Kareem Hunt in the Chiefs’ postseason run. I would normally not worry too much about Pacheco’s production immediately after a nasty leg injury, but the Chiefs re-signed Hunt and acquired Elijah Mitchell, so I’m certainly worried about Pacheco’s prospects of regaining the lead back role in Kansas City. Andy Reid said that he “looks tremendous” as camp opened, which is a good sign. In his 16 games prior to his injury, he averaged 18.1 touches for 85.5 yards and 0.63 touchdowns, or midrange RB2 numbers.
