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.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
