Blackshear isn't an every-down back. The FO doesn't believe that he is either. He's here to return punts and kicks. And Jonathon Brooks likely ain't even playing in 2025. Who is the 5th guy...?

We have two legit guys right now to carry the load. Lord forbid that either gets hurt. This is a deep draft at RB. If they want to get a UDFA, OK...but this strategy hasn't really worked over the years from what I've been looking at. Day 3 is the answer.

He doesn't need to be.  How many bottom of the depth chart are every down backs?

Pulling this from an old man memory but I think one of the three has a 1 year contract another has a bad knee. 

Yes you are correct.  Those 3 are locks for a roster spot this season. The 1 year rental gets them through this season to offset Brooks reinjury. Next season is when things get interesting in the RB room.

    • And that makes you right. 
    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
