I did not like the legette pick but I like this one. Brooks was very good until he got hurt. He’s not Bijan but he’s going to be a versatile bell cow RB. 

From what I heard he was doing better than Bijan until he got hurt. Was like 13 yards from Bijan’s yards when he got injured.

Where are these Debbie Downers coming from?  Are they Cicadas?  You get the best RB in the draft vs. the 10th best CB. I wanted the LB.  However, a RB that can catch better that Chuba, block better than Chuba, and run better than Chuba--behind our new guards---I see it.

 

All good points. Very fair. I think there is some ho-hum about it being a rb in the 2nd round. The trend has been to find them later. We did need a rb though.

Trade Miles Sanders to a dumpster behind the stadium.

Our new offense is gonna be run oriented. He instantly our best pass catching and blocking RB I love it

Lol he's already hurt.  Lol debbie downer

Are you under the impression that he needs to suit up next week?  You do realize the season starts in 5 months and he will be cleared July 1---right?  Stewart was drafted during his surgery.  In the first round.  He was a good player.  Point?

What was the trade comp?

Yep.

We wanted a better offense. We got two shiny new guards. Get a better run game than two punch of Chubbard and fugging Sanders and let the run game start evolving better.

I like the idea of getting the best player in the draft at a position.

However, he said he *might* be ready to go by training camp.

For a rookie, that’s not what you want to hear if you need a starter.

There is something to be said for that, but also we all laughed at the Falcons last night.

Well there’s something to be said about spending a mid second on a soon to be starting RB vs spending a top ten pick on a QB that won’t see the field for 2+ years

So we flipped Brian Burns for a running back and a 2nd year 

Sweet

I do hate the pick.  RBs are a dime a dozen.  A franchise center lasts a decade.
