Sweet nice pick up for the cats.

Except it’s literally not. Dowdle is on a 1 year deal and Brooks won’t play a down until 2026.

He also said day 3 pick which is likely where we’ll land on drafting one.

Care to name the other backs on our roster next year?

If we pick up a running back in the draft he will be 3rd string this year and next

Fantastic signing. I can’t believe some fools think signing a 1,000 yard rusher for 3 million is a bad move. “We can easily draft a guy in the 6th round that will be an all pro and rush for 1,500 yards on a deal that only pays 1 million!” Seems legit. This is great great great news and Bryce Young is thrilled to have two proven capable RB’s behind this line to depend on this season. 

Exactly look how long it took for chubba to develop. He would fumble KO in his rookie year.

in a historically good rb draft we are signing vets for this?  Doesnt compute

  We can still take a guy in the draft. Like 4th round or later. Somebody gonna fall. There are so many options out there.

$2.75m base value per Joe Person

The math doesn't really work on that.  If you need a RB, having a historically good RB draft gives you a better chance of getting one without reaching.  But it doesn't mean that you purposely go into a draft seeking that position.  We still want BPA, whatever position it is.  If we get BPA, but a bunch of the picks around it are RB, who cares?

Strong logic. Address as many needs as you can before the draft to allow BPA. Going into the draft forced to draft specific positions at specific rounds means possibly missing on some better talent. We all know this roster needs talent.

I have no idea how anyone can hate this signing. He's such an upgrade over Sanders, cheaper, and local. Like what do you want...

I like this one. More explosive weapons yes please. Plus he has a cool name.

Also. Obligatory random film reference:

Even better! So unless a major injury happens to chubba, he will not reach 6.5.

Exactly, which is why I don’t like this. Dowdle is a JAG. If he wasn’t, the Cowboys would have extended him. They are clearly going RB in the draft.

There were several RBs taken last year day 3 that would be suitable complimentary RBs to Hubbard and there will be again this year.

Oh well, at least it’s not much but it will be annoying if somehow we skip over this RB class.

They signed a RB in Javonte Wiiliams.
