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.

    • Oh I totally get it, but just because we can do that, doesn't mean it's the right way to go.  If this was Madden with video game players, then sure, do it because it helps the cap.  But with real people, doing that is likely only going to piss him off and make him want to sign with any other team the following offseason. I'm not saying give him a stupid deal, but giving him like $3-5 million for the one season would be a massive raise over the minimum, it wouldn't hurt our cap situation, he'd still likely play well above that level of contract, and it would help keep him happier with the franchise. But in the end, all I really want is for them to find a way to make sure they won't be needing to do deals for both Coker and T-Mac in the same offseason, as that's a terrible way to spend your cap space in a single offseason.  Separating their contracts expiring/negotiations into different offseasons would be the best way to keep them both around long term.
    • Going into that drive with 3 timeouts in our back pocket, I could never imagine the game plan was for Bryce to throw the ball away 3 times in a row to result to this 4th down situation. 3 fuging time outs available and acted like it was hail mary situation
    • Absolutely should have been a fireable offense (and this coming from a guy who defended Evero throughout the season) There is only 3 outcomes you want on that drive. 1) Turnover  2) sack 3) They score fast so we get the ball back with a lot of time and 3 timeouts to win the game We chose the absolutely WORST possible scenario. We let them waltz down the field playing soft zone AND let them kill the clock in the process. If there was EVER a time to play aggressive with no consequence, it was on that drive. Ok, we play aggressive and get burnt on a long TD. Who cares, then we have the last possession to go win the game with 3 timeouts and  at least 1:30 left. Pisses me off just watching that video.
