Future at Runningback

[shaq]

Chuba is a good back and we are lucky Matt Rhules wife made this draft pick. But, he is entering the final year of his contract. Plus it’s good to have a solid rotation of backs on hand. I think RB is a sneaky need this off-season, I would be surprised if Sanders was still on the roster this time next year(maybe he turns it around). Even Blackshear will be a free agent, drafting a RB this year sets us up with leverage of not being forced to resign Chuba. The best RB fit in my eyes for a Dave Canales offense, is a quick first step home run hitting RB. Why not pair the most explosive RB in the draft with a creative offensive HC. Plus we could grab Jaylen Wright in the 3-4th round.

 

If you guys wanna check out the video I made about Jaylen Wright it’s linked below!

Trey Benson

Braelon Allen

Audric Estime

Would love one of these guys in the draft.

Just said in another thread, there is a reason we met with Trey Benson.

We met with the Texas RB too. Brooks I believe.

I’m an Estime fan.  Watched him all year 

[CPF4LIFE]

I like them, Braelon Allen is my favorite right now.

Easiest position in football to fill. Not worried at all and should be on the back burner until the rebuild is complete 

[MillionDollarCam]

High on Ray Davis because he fits with Canales’ scheme.

He’s got a chip on his shoulder and has shown the ability to produce on both good and bad teams. He’s got some of if not the best feet in the draft and he finishes through contact. He’s also pretty explosive for a guy his size.

Sanders will not be on the roster next year. There is an out built into his contract after the second year. Chuba is also playing on the last year of his rookie deal. Either way, RB is going to be a need next year. We might as well bring in depth while it isn't a must instead of shopping hungry next year

Another reason this franchise has been a complete failure while other teams excel is our inability to draft premier running backs anywhere except the first round. D Williams, Stewart, cmc all first round picks. Chubba took 3 years to finally produce and as soon as he potentially cements himself as a starter he will need to be paid  

meanwhile teams draft similar production like kamara, hunt, ekeler, aaron jones, breece hall, etc with mid round picks. 

we need a running back to produce immediately on a rookie contract. That is success in todays nfl 

[LinvilleGorge]

I'd constantly be looking at late round RBs. It's a position that gems are routinely drafted on day three.

[Bear Hands]

Benson is the one that stands above the rest pretty noticeably. He’s the 4th best in over 5 years only behind Bijan, Gibbs and Hall. I wouldn’t be surprised at 39…just saying.

[PappyMay]

I’m Ok with it but not until atleast the 4th. Too many bigger needs.
