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.

Skattebo would be an instant fan favorite and I mean how could you not like him after that playoff performance. He's a certified Dan Morgan "dawg" that he talks about liking in prospects.

He would be a good pick in the mid-rounds. Not sure he will last until then though. He would certainly be an instant fan favorite.
