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. 

The cost of signing another FA RB is not a value vs drafting late or UDFA. Spending a few million in hopes of them working out is not as smart as taking a cheaper flier and giving them time to develop and get work behind other already costly and or solid RBs on the roster.

The value of the free agent RB market is very inexpensive. A above average back Damien Harris went for a one year, 1.7 mill contract. Rashad Penny went for 1.2 mill, linked below is Chuba Hubbards current rookie contract he was a 4th rounder and will make 1.1 mill this year. I’m not suggesting splurging on another RB, they’re a very undervalued position and can make economical sense in free agency. I would prefer to spend our later picks on higher upside positions in areas of need, we lack depth in a multitude of positions. Depth in positions that cannot be as fixed as easily as free agency.

It has to be Sanders. We gave him the money for it. We let our shirt yardage back, Foreman, leave for like 3 million dollars a year. 

Duce Staley likes having a tools bases backfield. Miles Sanders will 100% be our 3 down rb, Chuba will back him up, we still need a true power back. Honestly, not a very important position in todays age and can be found with a vet minimum. Or honestly, we could use Laviska Shenault in the backfield, at his size of 220 he would be our heaviest back.

We brought in Kendra Miller for a reason. He will be there in the 4th or 5th. He looked great in limited action against Michigan after missing time from a MCL. I feel he is pretty underrated for how well he fills a role. Sean Tucker is my preference but we will see how the cookies crumble later on in day 3.

I like Kendre Miller, Chase Brown, Deneric Prince as my later RB’s. Would be happy with any of them with our 5th round pick, hopefully we trade down from #39 and pick up some later round picks to play with.

Big Kendre fan. Plays so much like Foreman minus the one cut but plus contact absorption.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
