First year DG didn't draft a RB

A vote of confidence in our RB group of Stewart, Tolbert, Fozzy, CAP, and Wegher, or just how the cards fell in the draft?

 

2013: Kenjon Barner

2014: Tyler Gaffney

2015: Cameron Artis-Payne

 

Did he draft RBs in '14 and '15 because the one he drafted the previous year didn't work out? And it was clear they didn't work out by the end of their first season (Gaffney was on the Pats' IR and it was pretty clear Barner didn't fit Shula's offense very well and mainly is too small to play in the league). If so, does this mean the team believes CAP could take over for Stew in the future? Or just having confidence in Stew this year and looking to the stacked RB class of '17 (I don't follow college ball outside of draft season so I have no clue if this is true, but I heard that quite a bit this year)?

Just looking back at the 2013 draft: The WR class wasn't too deep, while 2014's was projected to be phenomenal. Everyone wanted Dave to grab a WR in 2013, but that didn't happen until 2014, when the time was right.

Same could be said for RB's. Not many stand out talent this year as far as RB's go, while next year I believe is projected to have quite the bit of decent backs coming in the draft. Maybe Dave strikes his move then, like he did in 2014, when the quality is better?

Yes.

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets
