Our running game going into next season, better or worst?

Take away Cam and we had the 31st ranked rushing attack in the league, now that the draft and major free agency is over what is your confidence level in our rushing attack going into next season?

 

We lost Norwell, we didn’t add a single guard or rb of note (even though this class was stacked), Kalil is on his last lag, I don’t believe Mccaffrey nor any RB in our roster is true feature back and to top it off I think Cam will have to carry the load again.

 

On the brightside, our receivers are better which should open up things a tiny bit more, and Stewart who is a fullback at this point was a complete waste of down last season, so I think whoever takes his carries will be better. And maybe this forces Ron to turn us into a pass first team, which in today’s nfl is the smart thing to do.

I'm with sanjay's alter-ego on this one @Ace_Aladdin. I'm actually really excited about a CAP/CMC combination with a fit Samuel and Moore to fit into the screen game. If we manage to use the short passing and run game to develop deep plays - if could very efficient. Also think Moton has the potential to make us forget about Norwell quite quickly.

Tough to make this call in April when there are still several more than serviceable RBs available. 

Agreed.

1st of all CAP will have his opportunity to take the reins from Stewart.  I also think Armah might have a bigger role.  Probably fill the role Tolbert had when he was with SD.

Though the draft may have had decent players available I think we addressed our more pressing needs especially our first 4 picks.

I have been looking for a RB in the free agency market and RoaringRiot has hit it on the head. Orleans Barkwa looks to be perfect for us. In the next couple of weeks after signing him won't hurt our comp picks next year this would be a good fit.

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
