Is RB still a draft need?

[PappyMay]

I'd love to resign foreman for 4/5 mil a year. If that doesnt happen would love Tucker from Syracuse in the 3rd. I know Robinson or Gibbs early in the 2nd would be nice, but really hope we use that for a TE that can catch or quality linebacker.  Paying Thomas that contract after getting Tremble baffles me still.

I mean this is the one thing teams like the Bears get right. Draft a running back every year or every other year in the 4th or later, ride them into the ground, let them walk away while you replace them with another young fresh legged back. 
 

Draft them late and never pay them.

If you're asking yourself this question, don't frame it in terms of Foreman alone.

The 3-back stable that we've got right now is pretty damn good

It wouldn't hurt to take a late round RB. But Foreman and Hubbard isn't too shabby.

At least Tremble is getting used a little since Wilkes took over. I still think he'll end up being a pretty good TE.

Blackshear has impressed when given a shot.

It’s almost like when your offensive line is pretty good, lots of running backs will look good.

I'd pick up a late rounder... just to send Chubba back to Matt Rhule's house.

Chubba's not a bad runner.

Pass catcher or return man? Well...

Paying Thomas just baffles me regardless.

With Foreman playing the best RB ball since 2019 CMC, is this a high priority in the draft?

I say yes . Foreman will be 27 next year.  And is a bruising runner.  It’s a young man’s game. 

we don’t need to spend a high pick on a committee RB.  And you can find legit runners  in rounds 3, 4 and 5.

I agree, although I will say that Foreman's ability to push the pile and break tackles is fairly impressive.

I don't think age matters as much as tread for RBs. Foreman has 331 career carries and 353 career total touches. CMC, despite missing 23 games, has 269 carries and 366 touches since 2020 alone.
