I was that shocked when I heard RR say we need a scat back. Now, I looked (out of boredom) to see who was out there to fill that "need" and him, Rainey, and Demps were the only three from the Draft and FA. Demps is going the olympics route and Rainey is garbage! That leaves LaMichael. Now, I hate the idea and figured if I brought it up then it will not happen, but if it does then let's be honest..............a nice weapon to have and in theory makes our already dangerous offense even more dangerous.

i feel real confident in saying that would be a monumentally bad idea.

we have weak spots all over the place at starting positions. we don't want to spend an early pick on a guy who would be 3rd on the depth chart and only used situationally with no real significant amount of PT.

we can find someone that fits the bill late in the draft. it's something fancy to add that would be fun, but this team needs too much work to draft that guy so early.

I will agree, I don't think its a good idea.................BUT, look at it a little deeper. Look what Sproles offers! LaMichael becomes our PR also and is a BIG threat at PR. One guy gives us a HUGE threat to offer with our offense and gives us a legit PR. I'm not gonna cry if it happens.

If the playoffs this year have shown us anything, its that a well balanced team with a strong defense wins big games.

See: Texans & Giants last week, Ravens, & the 49ers

If we don't end up with Kirkpatrick in the 1st you capitalize on the tremendous amount of CB talent in this draft

yea, it would be a nice luxury to have

but wouldn't it be an even nicer luxury to not have to score 40 points on offense to win a fuging game?

Indeed, but getting our starters back is an instant upgrade. I am confident our 1st pick in the draft will be defensive and help in our ability to generate more of a pass rush. However, LaMichael James gives us help in sustaining drives, makes our run game even more dangerous, and helps us murder even the best defenses in the TOP battle!

So let me see if I got this....we are gonna generate a Texans/Giants/Niner pass rush by drafting a cover corner? I'm lost!

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
