Time to draft a running back?

[NAS]

With Brooks likely unavailable until 2026, we need someone to back up Chuba.   Bucs got Bucky in the 4th in what was not a deep draft for running backs. I think this year it may be worth spending a late round pick. It should be a deep draft? Who do you think will be available in which round?  Who do you want?

There is a dude who works at Lowe's and Home Depot you can sign off the street for cheap. Please stop drafting RBs. It's literally the easiest position to play. See hole and run. A RB is only as great as his Oline.

 

Don't draft another RB please don't do it!

Last game showed there is NOBODY under Chuba. Take a flyer at a 5th rounder pounder who can at least move the chains.

Not saying to draft a RB, but Raheem Blackshear put up about 1.5 yards per carry running behind 4/5 of the same line as Chuba Hubbard. Clearly, not all RBs can do well.

I could see Tepper demanding Jeanty in the third round for the PR.

If we use anything more than a day 3 pick, I’d be upset. I want OL/DL with all the extra day 3 picks we have because we need depth desperately and solid NT/DT/C/Gs are found on day 3. Even with some misses, we should get some hits. Day 1 and 2 are for shoring up the D with BPA as we have needs everywhere.

Oh yes we saw how that worked out last week against one of the worst defenses in football. GTFOH

I think about the 4th-5th round is a great place to consistently add RBs.   We need a 3rd down style rec RB.

Ok who do you think will be available on Day 3?

Unless some stud falls to the top of the 3rd, this is a draft that we can pick up a legitimate running back in  the 4th round who can have an impact in 2025.

4-5th round last year.  Irving, Estimine, Guerendo, Tracey.   They have shown they can play.

Most of the others are sitting behind studs or mutliple studs so depth chart has given the need to see them.  Eagles, Phins, Bills, Lions, Jags also drafted backs.

I'd rather draft a RB in that area than some other position with much less odds

I think we need a pass catching back to pair with Chuba or our own Deebo

Still pisses me off that we could have had Frazier and gotten a solid complimentary RB in round 4+. Tracy was available when we took Wade and Irving and a few others were available when we took Sanders. Imagine coming out of this past draft with the picks the Huddle consensus liked and gotten McConkey, Frazier, Wallace, Sanders and one of the several day 3 RBs.

It’s sad to think we took two risky picks early and they look like poor picks.
