Are we set at running back?

[poundaway]

In light of Hurts' new contract, I thought I'd share a tweet I saw about how he effected the run game overall.

Sanders had a great year last year.  But some of it was due to one of the best OLs in football and some help form Hurts.  Our decent OL is coming off multiple injuries. 

I was wondering if we want to add another bruising RB like Foreman.  I don't want to be totally dependent on Chuba if Sanders gets injured.

Blackshear did really well in limited opportunities last year too. I would assume it's pretty safe to say that RB is for sure on our draft radar--there's still plenty of talent both in the draft pool and UFA.

We probably are set

Don’t think so

Deuce in his presser when he got here Really emphasized having multiple RBs

I was surprised that Foreman went so cheap to Chicago.  I'd be surprised if our offer was less than that. 

I wonder if he knew he'd be a number 2 here.

I wouldn’t mind Tank Bigsby later in the draft if Fitt can acquire some extra picks.

I hope they don't add any more RBs unless they're cheap, undrafted rookies. Use the draft picks to add Oline depth and for other needs.

I really like Gibbs but probably more pressing things at 39. If we didn't sign Sanders, I'd be coveting him. Hubbard just isn't the guy.

There's a lot of once-good FA RB available.  They've got wear and tear, but they'd be a #2-3.  Fournette is estimated value at 2M.  Not saying he's the pick, just an example.    Foreman had an injury history when we got him.

As long as they're cheap,

But I would prefer the undrafted rookies just because of the wear and tear.

I still think they take one in rds 4-5

This is a good class of RBs.

Both Sean Mccay’s offenses which Thomas Brown came from and Reich’s offenses, have used multiple backs.

Duece also hinted this as well in his opening presser.

[Jon Snow]

We good.

My guess is we offered around the same, maybe a tiny bit more.  He sat on it for a while, and waited so long that we were no longer comfortable waiting and potentially missing out on both him and one of the other top starters available.  We moved on, and so did he.
