Time to draft a running back?

If the draft is this loaded, there will be an UDFA available--we have so many needs--a rental could be an UDFA or a 1-year contract signing.  But I see a lot of talent and value at RB this year.  Lotta ways to approach the problem--not one answer, and if anyone comes across as there is, he is full of shite.

I’d rather draft a RB in the 4th round in a super deep RB draft than wait for an UDFA. A 4th round RB in this deep of a class is more comparable to a low 3rd round RB in most drafts since not all teams will be looking for a RB. Great value. The chances of Chuba staying healthy all year as our primary weapon is unrealistic. So many great RB’s that will fall to the 4th that wont feel like a huge drop off when he’s in the game compared to what we witnessed this past week. We should use our Mingo pick on one of them.

Imagine watching this team all season and thinking backup RB is an important need for the draft smh

 

I get other people have different views on what the team needs, but seriously backup RB guys?

Bryce Young is our QB.  We need a 1b for Hubbard.  Even freaking Derrick Henry has a complimentary RB that plays in every single game.  This isn't a backup QB type thing that never plays pending something bad doesn't happen.

So what’s your plan if Chuba goes down? No one is saying  to use an early round pick on a RB, but to use a 4th or 5th round pick on a backup RB when our offense is built around the run game in one of the deepest RB drafts of all time is not a crazy idea.. Did you watch how bad our RB’s are behind Chuba last week?

My plan is to find one undrafted or sign one in FA. I rather we go all defense. If we are going offense get something we actually can use a WR.

adding to this. 

coincidently, Hubbard and Henry had the exact same amount of receiving yards.  Bryce Young 10000% has a need for a legit rec RB in the backfield since he arrived.   He needs that RB to play w/ Hubbard.   That's not Hubbard's game and he didn't produce as a receiver this year.

We can find a reception back undrafted. Tons of RBs available FA and Undrafted. I don't get why we have to draft one.

definitely a way of approaching it--If you think "I can get a second round value with a fourth round pick"  it is hard to beat that argument--and that is the case.

Hubbard gets injured, then what? You can’t go into an NFL season with only one reliable RB

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
