Why waste a draft pick when we can just pick up one of the many solid short yardage backs in the free agent market!

Kareem Hunt
Ezekiel Elliott
Leonard Fournette
Kenyan Drake

The cost vs value is terrible. Whats wrong with a fresh set of legs in the later rounds? I feel we may trade down and get a 6th and that would be perfect to use on one.

132 could be a good trade down since we have 145.  Get multiple picks around 160 & 190.  Could be a good move for a RB & OL if we don't draft one higher.

Indubitably. With the hundreds off PFF mocks I have done I played this scenario out and never felt the results weren't worth the trade.

We have limited draft capital, wasting a pick on a niche role is a wast of draft capital. Cost vs value? What are you even referencing, due to the abundance of quality backs these older vet power Rbs are cheap and affordable. Look at our Donta Foreman signing last season and Mike Davis in years past. Give me that all day, would rather draft a developmental guy in true areas of need then draft our RB 3.

I wouldn't mind seeing Shenault back there. Dude is thick and think of that Corderelle type on short yardage goalline situations would be great.

I also like Roschon, Bigsby and Ibrahim for that physical runner and should all be available on day 3.

 

Great take, was thinking the same thing with Shenault. He’s a big dude, 220 with decent speed and he already plays like a RB in the open feild.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I meant write off in the entire class being absolute garbage and that being on Dan  FA was pretty solid but Dan and Brandt handing out one big terrible contract to Turk Wharton. Milton was their top target and the pivot from Milton to Turk while paying Turk what they did was insane.  Id LOVE to know had we not paid Turk what type of contract he would’ve received. 3/30 mayyyybe? This is someone Brandt obviously vouched for.  I’ve watched a few of Tilis’ interviews now. One with Jourdan and one with Yates. He’s a big Moneyball fan. Giving Turk the deal they gave him is the complete opposite of the whole Moneyball idea. They paid a dude who they saw some potential in money that you’d pay someone that has actually made an impact  The worst part is that he’s 100% here next year too. That contract keeps him here until 2027 for sure

      Are you kidding? They just now figured out they could use someone else for a qb sneak.

      The biggest problem is that his upward trend is still well below NFL average. At some point there's just too much evidence to ignore. I've been there for awhile now. Honestly, it only took a handful of games for me to realize that he just had too many physical limitations to overcome to ever be a legitimate starter. I get that the organization couldn't afford to pull the plug that quick after that investment but there's absolutely no way we should've gone into year three without legitimate competition on the roster. We always a year behind kn this Bryce thing. This year should've been the legit competition year and this offseason should've been the moving on point. Hopefully we'll play catch up but I expect the trend to cj tinge and next year will be the vet competition year.
