Sanders is only here because his contract dictate it. He will get the majority of rotation snaps until they feel Brooks is ready to go full speed. Whenever that is Sanders will be benched unless he shows out this season. Brooks will eventually replace someone. My bet its Sanders and not Blackshear. 

Brooks was definitely BPA but I am curious how our stable plays out. Chubba deserves to be here in my opinion. He’s like a slightly more athletic Nick Goings. If Sanders shows out early I wonder if someone becomes trade bait. 
 

A tandem of Chubba and Brooks would be really solid.

I doubt anyone trades for any of our current RB's. Brooks is Sanders replacement in waiting. The only thing that Sanders has left to hope for is to beat out Chubba for a spot.

I think Morgan got a little too cute with the trade down from 39 to 52. Then all of a sudden Powers-Johnson and Edgerrin Cooper went off the board back to back and they panic traded back up as their board was slimming down to grab Brooks.

I can see this. But the fact we walked away with 3 weapons and LB to red shirt and replace Shaq next year plus getting us a 2nd next year I feel like already we could have done worse. Not screaming excitement but definitely don’t hate this draft.

There is some talk about Sanders being cut. 

Here is how I see it playing out--if you cut him post June 1 this year, you save very little.  Even though Brooks will be ready to play July 1, 2024, you might want to bring him along slowly.  With Hubbard and Miles behind the revamped OL, you can get away with it.  I might even put Brooks on IR for the first part of the season and allow Sanders and Hubbard to rotate.

You would get a fresh RB mid season.  Then you put Sanders on IR and cut him Post June 1, 2025.  That would save you $6.7m.   That is my theory.

Yup, I don't get paying guys to sit at home unless they are injured or horrible.  Sanders is a good RB, just not a #1 guy.  Pay him this year and get what production you can, then send him on his way next offseason.

I'm more of a power running back kinda guy. Don't really see anything above average with this dude running through wide open gaps behind that Texas line. Game on the line and you need 1 yard I'd still rather see Chuba going 100 mph into contact

I wanted Allen, Estime or even Guerendo.  I think Brooks will do good if our OL can get it together, but I agree he's not a power back, though.

I mean we heard the reports pre draft that brooks was their guy 

there’s nothing to indicate center was ever in play

The lack of centers on the top 30 official visits list should have been a tip off that it wasn't a priority.

It was always Brooks though they did like Cooper

if Barton dropped I think it would have gone Barton then a move up for XL

      Sugar Defender Reviews (Thriving in Accomplished Aims) Official Website Alert!

      By Smith · Posted

      ast updated today 19th May 2024 Some people are unsure if Sugar Defender  is real, so here's the truth: there's no evidence that it's a scam. The company clearly lists all the ingredients and doesn't make wild promises. Instead, they support their claims with scientific studies. They have research backing up what they say about Sugar Defender's benefits. Even if some people are skeptical, there's no proof that Sugar Defender is fake. It's important to look at the facts and see that the company is being honest and open about their product.         Order Now Sugar Defender and Get 85% Off   The best part about this supplement is that it's really easy to use, and you don't need to do anything extra to keep your blood sugar levels steady. Plus, it's all-natural and made safely to address the main cause of blood sugar problems.   How long does it take for Sugar Defender to work? How fast Sugar Defender works can be different for each person. It depends on things like how fast your body works, any health issues you already have, and how often you use it. But since they give you 60 days to try it out and get your money back if it doesn't work for you, it's likely that most people see some changes within that time if they use it like they're supposed to. For the best results, use it for at least 90 days.   What Is Sugar Defender? Sugar Defender is a special formula that helps your body respond better to insulin. It's made with the purest ingredients. Every ingredient has been tested many times to make sure they're the best, and the company says there are no stimulants, chemicals, or things that could cause allergies in it. They make it in a super clean lab that follows strict rules. The goal of Sugar Defender is to naturally lower your blood sugar levels and keep them steady and healthy. It's a supplement that won't get you hooked and doesn't have any stimulants or GMOs. And guess what? It's easy to use! Each bottle has enough for a whole month. Just take the right amount every day, and you're all set!

      Agree on Necas, he’s gone. Guentzel seems 50-50 to me, Canes would have to pony up. Still not sure Skjei will be back. From exit interviews he seemed less optimistic than Pesce and I definitely don’t think Pesce is back. Jarvis and Noesen have to be back. I think if Kuzy shoots more he could be a great asset. Put him with a passer like Turbo and a net front like Noesen.
