Yeah but I don't think it lasts too long. In that scenario, Dowdle is CMC and Chuba is Foreman. We really don't know if Etienne or Brooks will be able to replace him Dowdle next season.  

With the exception of Sanders we have been pretty good about cycling them through.

Yeah, a top 10 RB pick pretty much needs to be a HOFer to be worth it. It's one of the easier positions to find a decent "good" player.

The year we invested in CMC Saints got Kamara in tne 3rd and he outproduced CMC at least the first couple of years. 
I wanted to go after him that year.

The injury concern is another knock on drafting the position high. It's tough to stay on the field as a RB. Those guys take a pounding and most are washed in their late 20s. It's like buying a work truck. You don't want to go buy a shiny brand new high dollar truck off the lot just to beat the hell out of it. Go and buy a used truck with low mileage because you know what's almost certainly gonna happen to it.

Ryans is blaming his kicker for not kicking it out of bounds to have the two minute warning timeout. Noting it because calling out your players publicly like that tends to not be a good indicator on keeping one's job in the long term.

I don't regret drafting CMC. Problem was that we needed him earlier when Cam was in his prime. Instead, he came in once Cam already had his infamous shoulder injury and was already regressing.

He praised Glenn for "turning around parts" of the team, but added, "It's hard when you have a quarterback with a rating that he's got. I mean, he has ability, but something just is not jiving. ... You have to play consistently at that position, and that's what we're going to try to do for the remainder of the season."

Whew. Tepper does have some competition for worst owner.

To be fair we don't know how Mccaffrey would have looked had he been drafted by the Saints with Sean Peyton and Drew Brees

Nor how Kamara would have looked with Mike Shula.

There's gonna be a mutiny on the bounty up there. What a fuggin idiot.

I also think Justin Fields sucks. A lot.

But if he was my employee there is not chance I am trashing him in front of the media for just not being good. I am gonna be lighting up the MFer who decided that was a good personnel decision. IN PRIVATE.

That confuses things and begs for speculation. Saints didn’t have the 1.8 for that matter so that is a lot of speculation  Sproles did great for them I would assume CMC would have also. I wasn’t doing anything except saying you don’t need to take a RB that high to get production  

 

The focus of the comparison was value. Even if Kamara was eclipsed by CMC he provided great value. Which was the point.

I agree on the RB position being the easiest to find value.

I was just noting the production of Kamara and CMC one was obviously in a better offensive system when drafted.

Yeah okay fair enough. 
Maybe the point is if you have a better system and players you can dumpster dive for a RB and if you don’t you have to shop top shelf. I dunno. 
 

I would put my assets into the best OL I could get and let them make UDFA like Rico look like stars. As opposed to putting CMC behind a makeshift OL. And right now I don’t even remember who was on the OL when we took him, just sayin.

#Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa said part of the reason he didn’t target Jaylen Waddle much vs. the #Browns was because he had trouble seeing him over the O-line and D-line:

“I’m not the tallest guy back there. Sometimes when that happens you don’t want to just throw it blindly.”

      Joe Person mock draft. Mar 5.

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love this draft because they picked the right OL.  It is possible that we have 2 rookies starting on the OL.  I would take Utah's Lomu as well, but for those who think you find the OL in free agency and not the draft, here is all I have to say:  We cannot give $110m to the 5 starting OL.  We need an infusion of youth on the OL as well.  If Ickey returns and can play, I imagine that he takes over for Hunt at RG--in 2027 or so.  Currently, our 2 guards and right tackle make up over 20% of the total cap.  We have to add 2 starters, but if Cade Mays was too pricey at around (anticipated) $8m, then we plan to draft a C, it seems. I think we draft an OT and C now because we will need a G or 2 and a RT soon.  While they were good in 2026, they were not elite.  For that kind of $$, we need elite.  Is starting a rookie LT and C ideal?  Nope.  But if we can get better than Nijman and Mays, we should be OK. I think we will pick up an ILB in free agency and add an ILB.  Who we draft (Mike or Will) will depend on who we sign.  Rodriguez is a favorite of mine, but if Golday is there, Morgan is going to take him.  Morgan will love him. I do not think we need to overpopulate the edge position right now because we have 1 edge returning from injury (Jones II), one rookie from last year ready to step up and could be really good (Scourton), and another who could be ready to step into the situational pass rusher role (Princely).  2 hold the edge very well and if we had a situational pass rusher to join Princely, we could be much better. I think rookies at Edge tend to jump considerably from their rookie seasons to years 2 and 3.  (Charles Johnson, Mike Rucker, and Greg Hardy were that way-and all became very good in time. Safety seems omitted, but we shall see.  That could be another free agent acquisition.

      Id like Evans from Duke in the draft as a shooter for the second unit. And probably a more athletic big to replace all, he's good but doesn't really fit the style. White, Evans, green, Williams and center tbd is a pretty good second unit
