I personally think Chubba is better than people give him credit for here.  He needs to keep improving and fix, I mean forever, his ball security.  No fumbles

He's above average, with stones for hands.

Those two fumbled kickoffs last year in the same game.  Sheesh. 

His pass catching improved, but it was one of he worst in the nfl his rookie season.

Understand but he is improving.  We have to remember he went in the mid 4th round so he has given value IMO with that pick.

I agree that Chuba can run and has some playmaking ability. We jut need a decent rotation but he can definitely contribute.

I like this RB class a lot. It's deep with talent. Really no reason not to add to the mix.   I am flexible bout style of back though. I would like to see a power back but willing to just play the board and take best RB on the board.  Chuba has played well considering the situations we put him in. The stigma of being drafted by Rhule and more damning "rhules wifey" liked him. Having to replace CMC reps. All that and the way the Cowboys put lots of reps on him in college. He has done extremely well in spite of some less than ideal situations. That said I do think we could find a complement to Miles and Chuba in this draft and possible replacement for Chuba.

Draft young cheap replacements. Let old guys walk. If you have a good line, a qb, and a competent scheme, then the guy in the backfield isn’t that important. It’s a position where injuries are frequent and the lifespan is short. We should be drafting a young guy now.

I said this in another thread but I think Kendre Miller is one of the top 3 backs in the draft. Solid in every aspect of the game. And now It looks like we are at least somewhat interested:

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
