I think Sanders actually bounces back in this offense. 850 rush, 400 yard rec type of year. But agree gone after this season

Running backs are easy to get. Not a huge priority anymore

I think Chuba actually would be a mid tier starter, good enough with a solid line (which it looks like we have) and won’t be expensive on his second contract unless he has a really breakout year this year, but either way I’m down for the “draft a RB in the 4-6 range every year” strategy that others have mentioned. Mostly throwaway picks anyway and could always get lucky.

Jaylen Wright is great, but Jabari Small can be gotten later.

I would not hate a RB in the 2nd or 3rd.

I am a fan of Benson, Jonathan Brooks, and Blake Corum.

Brooks' ACL Tear might possibly make him drop a bit in the draft but he is a stud.

Yeah, because you can get them in the mid to late rounds of the draft.  Not sign Miles Sanders types.  But you got to actually draft them.

...Yea...its definitely time to start thinking about a back. Chubba has been a plus... damn Stewart and Williams were some sht...thats our measurable....we need a dawg a la freddie lane

Had this conversation today at work saying we were missing the Williams/Stewart combo!! I like Hubbard need to find his helper cuz Sanders wasn’t it!!

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 

What? Need to be paid? Sorry man, Hubbard is one of the worst starting RBs in the league. You don’t pay him. You sign him to the vet minimum. He was 9th in the league in carries, but he was 20th in yards. Finding a 3.8 ypc RB is easy, it’s not something you need to pay.

He looked good because he was actually giving us effort last year and the rest of the offense minus Theilin was awful.

Isaiah Davis is the late round RB i'm watching out for

I’m an Estime fan.  Watched him all year 

With Estime, we eliminate the worry about 4 and 1
