CMC’s backup started 10+ games last year. 

We are assuming CMC is damaged goods now?  Also, once the season was clearly lost, the staff held him back.  Why expose him for a few meaningless games?  Everyone knows CMC will get 99% of the RB snaps when healthy and there is no reason to think he is not.  Again, a luxury pick.

Not damaged goods, lol.  But anyone can get hurt - this is football. Let’s say CMC has to enter the concussion protocol and misses 3 games.  You want to rely on a jag?  
 

A luxury pick is drafting a kicker with a kicker on the roster for “competition”. Nailing down a solid backup for possibly your most important weapon on the team is just smart (imho). 
 

I was selecting Chuba in almost every mock I did. Makes perfect sense to me. We’ll agree to disagree.

I saw a tweet that said he had blood clot issues in the past.  He may have been off our board because of that

Yup, he did. He sat out his sophomore year to undergo blood thinning treatment. It worked and he played the following year. But apparently a long snapper was more Valuable than a dominant OL with health concerns
