We pretty much have to take a RB on day 2 in the draft, right?

Yea if we can get a really good one in the second then absolutely. Foreman is meh, not a starter and Chuba is trash. Also depends on the coach and OC we get. If it’s one of these guys that can squeeze yards out of mediocre backs like New Orleans did for so many years before Kamara because of the scheme then just pick one in the third or later that fits the physical traits that system needs.

Best teams in football:

Eagles - Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell

Bills - Devin Singletary, Zach Moss, James Cook 

Vikings - Dalvin Cook

Chiefs - CEH, Pacheco, McKinnon

Chargers - Austin Ekeler

Ravens - Dobbins

Bengals - Mixon

--

A handful+ of 2nd rounders, only 1st rounder is CEH who has been teetering on bust territory.  I'd take a stab at one in the mid rounds.  Don't mind the double dip strategy, maybe a 3rd & 5th type deal.  But with our 2nds--I'm thinking WR, DL.

That last part should be a prerequisite for any coach we are looking to hire, being able to use run concepts and mid level RBs to effectively run the ball is one of the most important tools for a coach today.  The teams that are winning rarely are doing it with first round RBs.

Why?

Have you seen some of the names starting and being productive as of late? Investing early draft capital into RB is a mistake for rebuilding teams. Plenty of options either via FA or late rounds. 

Dameon Pierce - 4th

Rhamondre Stevenson - 4th

Khalil Herbert - 6th

Jeff Wilson - UDFA

Aaron Jones - 5th

 

 

 

 

 

All of them are light years below Cmac.

 

You dump a star you have to replace him with a star or you go backwards

Yea all the guys mentioned so far are JAGs at best, some are trash. We’re not going to get an equal to CMC, that player doesn’t exist, but we should be able to get a GOOD dependable guy in the second or third. I’d love to luck into a Lesean McCoy or … name escapes me but that guy from the Bears whose RB receptions record CMC broke. Both were second round guys.

Yea I agree. But the Giants, Cowboys and Chiefs are all winning right now with first round RBs. No single position is REQUIRED to win except QB, but the more weapons you give your QB the better he’ll look.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By Mage · Posted

      JMO, I think it is lame as hell to publicly give up on the team and then crawl back when they win a few games. Like, how can you run a PANTHERS PODCAST and then give up on it during the season?    Yes, you can argue the Panthers prior to Week 3 hadn't done anything to deserve fanfare, but nobody made them run a Panthers Podcast.  They chose to.  So stick with it.  Instead they gave up and did so publicly.  Which is well within their right - but you can't then turn around and bring it back the same season.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      The crazy thing about football is it’s a team sport. But one position can make or break the game. And one of the best ways in doing that is by not giving the ball away and being able to run at 4-5 yard clips. Throw in a couple passes and next thing you know you’re in the red zone. Playing this way limits possessions to other(more dynamic) QBs too. And if your defense plays well that could equate to between 4 and six series. If you’re running that efficient, you can say, split the offensive production with the run or the pass. So by attempt byce accounted for his half of the yardage and Rico did too. Rico also managed to punch it in at the goal line. And you gotta give it to our oline and they’re running blocking and that’s without TMO! so the truth is, Canales and management figured out how to use Bryce’s strengths to compliment this run game to cover up his weaknesses in a way that is efficient. And our defense showed improvement against pretty formidable opponent the week after andy dalton gave it to buffalo. They are putting winning football on the field more often, and we are slowly becoming better each week. I hope they can keep it up.

      If only the Eagles collapse. I dont think it will happen though. I hate them as much. Ill root for the Chiefs if they play the Eagles this time around in the Superbowl. I hate those guys.
