Nah, didn't look good this year and bailed on his team.

Yeah the bailed on team part is the kicker. Not sure what happened but doesn't pass the smell test.  Very unfortunate because his measurables are off the charts good and he had the potential to be great value in a RB loaded draft.  Jalen Hurd's don't grow on trees physically.

Extra sad because the Supplemental Draft this year puts us in the top 10 of every round lottery while likely picking at the end of every corresponding round in 2018.

Pass, there are plenty of backs that are better.

Don't disagree, but we have multiple needs and the pick would likely be a late 2018 one, allowing us to keep our picks this year.

Haven't really followed his story.

Details?

5 star talent out of high school, dark horse Heisman candidate entering the year, off the charts physical height/weight/speed measurements, bell cow back, good receiver out of the backfield, projected 2nd Round 2017 pick last offseason-had a falling out with teammates and coaches, said he would transfer, didn't, now in no man's land-Supp Draft.

I'd like to know more about the "falling out".

I don't really know his story but If he is talented, why not? It wouldn't be costly. If money doesn't convince him to show a little more dedication, then he is out of the league.

He's talented.  Might definitely make for an interesting decision in July if RB is not a value pick with any of our 8 picks.  The stink of him leaving Tennessee is rotten, but from a skill standpoint there'd be huge value for a likely late 2018 pick.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
