That would be a second-rounder on Brooks, whatever pick we use on Skattebo, and another pick on a faster back. That’s a lot to dump into the running back room, and that doesn’t even include the deal for Chuba. 

yes brooks is done for 2025 

however, There is free agency. There are June 1 cuts.  There are cuts in Sept

it doesn’t have to be all  or nothing

Yeah, I'm expecting mid to late round pick and a low level FA to be added

This kid can catch passes, block blitzing LBs, throw passes, and he runs hard.  I think he becomes a key rotational piece and not a backup.  And he is a dawg

I feel the same way about this kid as when Cmac was drafted, a do it all RB

Alrighty, I just researched the kid after all this Huddle hype. 

I think he's a get early on day 3 (maybe late day 2 depending upon whether we have any comp picks or any unsuspecting extra picks from a trade). I was expecting some huge tank the way people were talking, but what I see is this short, near-smurf like guy who's...a tank. 

 

Positives:

His power is undeniable. He has good quickness behind the trenches. His footwork and ability to get past and through the line is good. His contact balance is simply amazing. His hands are legit. He's got some dawg and swag in him--you want him on your team. 

 

Negatives:

He's a short joker (which may be a positive in certain circumstances, meaning defenders might "lose" him in the scrum), so he may not be able to truck guys as much in the NFL. He obviously has a limited catch radius. His speed, though decent, is not necessarily breakaway, though it may work well enough in combination with his willingness and ability to break tackles. Speaking of seeking contact, his running style might just lead to injuries since he'll be playing against the strongest and best in NFL.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
