Sell him. I don't think Chiefs will fail to take a RB this draft, but what they really should do is draft some LBs and CBs. Draft those during days 1 and 2, then go RB in round 4.

What about Darrel Williams? I do think Damien Williams will be fantasy relevant, but he'll be in a RBBC role. He doesn't seem to be a strong enough runner for 1st and 2nd down runs. Perhaps KC focuses on other areas and bring in a veteran RB aling with the guys they have.

I'll pass on the undrafted, big, slow, unathletic running back.

Damien Williams's value post NFL draft/FA, if the Chiefs don't draft a RB inside the first 3 rounds, or sign anyone significant? I would say mid first. Thoughts?

Are you referring to his value in startup drafts or his trade value relative to rookie picks?

I presume rookie pick value. And I'm so uninspired by Williams I wouldn't trade a mid 1st for him.

Rookie I would guess. If he makes it to the beginning of the year as the clear cut back what is an rb1 worth? Depends on the situation but in the one league I own him I’m contenderish and he would slot right back into the starting lineup. I would want a pick that guaranteed me a top rb so top two or three. Pricey, but I want a championship.

I’ve seen him go for mid/late 1st in a few spots recently so it’d probably be mid 1st + a little extra if that ends up happening. I think I would pay a mid 1st but I’d definitely be hesitant because even if they don’t add anyone this offseason, they almost certainly will by next offseason.

So maybe in this scenario, the correct answer is buy for a mid 1st, get a few solid games out of him & flip him for a 2020 1st?

The down side is he flounders, and you are left with nothing much but a roster clogger. Or he gets hurt, etc. It's a risky maneuver. Trading a 2019 mid first is probably easier to land a 2020 first, as if D Williams gets you a first in season, chances are it's only contenders buying, which would make it a later first in 2020, most likely.

What about Darrel Williams?

After Darrel was relegated to three touches against the Colts and zero against the Pats, while giving Damien true bellcow work, it seems logical to presume Darrel currently isn't a threat to Damien's workload in '19.

Yeah, sorry. Rookie pick. Mid first startup would be ridiculous IMO, but I should have clarified.

I've been burned enough times buying guys banking on being able to flip them. I've since decided I won't buy a player unless I have at least some confidence in him.

Williams is too much of a redraft player- assuming he gets through the draft/FA with value/production potential unscathed, he still could be replaced rather easily next year. Heck, he could get injured and Ware step back in.

I don't see myself rostering Williams at his current price and I'm very fine with that.
