At the end of the day it is the quarterback position at the top and everything comes after.  I feel like RBs get a bad rep because it is the position easiest to evaluate and notice.  Nobody knows about a 4th round guard that's playing well on whatever team, but because of stats and fantasy, you WILL know about the 4th round RB who is doing good.  That doesn't mean it is easier to find a late-round gem at RB than it is RG or WR or CB or whatever.

Like, is a DE more important than a RB?  Sure, but at the end of the day you just need a good team.  Other than QB, no one position is going to make a huge difference in the win column.  Reggie White wouldn't have saved the Panthers last year.

That’s what everyone said about the Lions last year after drafting RB and MLB in the first round…

That's a good counter, always enjoy when you post @Martin !

 

I would call that a fluky or point out if the rest of you elite team is filled out and all that's left is RB and MLB. Then its fine, otherwise the last spots you should value on a current NFL roster is safety, MLB, and RB. 

Just head over to sportac and see how good teams or any teams spend their cap.

Likewise, I always enjoy to hear a different perspective. In my mind I just want some good players, so while maybe a bit boring, I’m ok as long as it improves the overall roster.

I can not disagree with improving the overall team. 

If you look at the draft picks, in seems nearly all of them will have decent-great chance at starting

XL- AT could/should be cut. DJohnson is on one year deal, same for Moore.

Brooks- hubbard one year deal. Sanders will be cut. Blackshear one year.

Wallance- Shaq one year and no other top level talent

Sanders- tremble and Thomas one year deals

CSW- troy Hill is 34 years old and the big "one year deal"

Nearly all of them could be starters.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
