The draft makes people upset because we all develop patterns and strong opinions about who we should draft and when that plan is breached, we have to readjust.  I try to look at it from the perspective of what I think they are going to do, not what I know they need to do and if they don't, they are wrong.  I must admit, I was hoping for a RB later, but a RB could be the most bang for the buck.  There used to be a day when they were really coveted. I don't mind drafting a RB on day 2, but I mind giving them contract #2.  I just wonder if the new Guards have not already addressed the problem.

I am old school and would love it but for a bunch of years think you can along pretty well with good or excellent but not quite special.

Case in point Kamara in the 3rd vs CMC top 10.

Seriously... Juan should be banned from posting twitter links if he's just going to post the links and not let them load into the posts first.

It's not that hard, more frustrating than just the idiots on here who post the most unrealistic ideas/situations.

Yeah, I can only keep editing his posts for so long lol

In fairness to Chuba....

When every player on the defense and every fan in the stands knows we aren't going to pass because we have the worst pass offense in the league it makes it tough to run for any back.

But we need a one two punch backfield we need someone that offers a different skillset we need a bruiser type to compliment him.

We also need a back that can pass block.  Chubba sucks in that area, and his hands are suspect.  So aside from toting the rock, he is a liability--especially when we become one-dimensional as you describe.

We could really use a cb and LB, but if they are determined to build around Bryce--you can't do it as well with a sub par RB and generic TE.   Maybe our thinking has been wrong.

RB's are a dime a dozen. If he doesn't do something this season you draft another and keep on drafting them. Not in the first round though.

Not gonna lie--personally, this would upset me.  There are only a few RBs in the league that rise above the status quo--dime a dozen label--and we had one here, but traded him.  I just do not see a special back that makes me think we would be much better off with him.  No CMCs, no Derrick Henrys.

Not sure about 39 but Benson is legit.  I would have him only behind Jacobs, Bijan, Gibbs, & Hall as a prospect, looking back since-2019.  Would add a whole new dimension to our offense.  Canales had Baker toss what 70 balls to White last year? That's not happening with Chuba.

Have sneakily been expecting this which is why I wouldn't get too bent out of shape.

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
