I need some advise.

I drafted Dez Bryant and Brandon Marshall with my first two picks, leaving me with some decent, but not sure fire starting running backs.

Darren Mcfadden

Montee Ball

Rashard Mendenhall

Chris Ivory

Im going to start DMC, but who should I start as my RB #2? Mendenall is the starter in Arizona, but my gut is telling me I should start Montee Ball.

Ill pie you if you give me a decent reply.

Word is Moreno and Hillman getting majority of work.  Moreno is the best blocking RB they have and you can be sure that Fox will attempt to protect Manning this first major game.  Hillman would be 3rd down back with Ball getting some goalline work.  If it were me, I'd avoid Denver RBs simply due to the fact you haven't a clue who will get the points.  Mendenhall is with Zona?  And their Oline just took a hit not too long ago right?  Good luck.  Ivory is with the Jets correct?  Super Ugh.  You need to get better RBs. 

 

I'd hold my nose and go McFad and Ball.

Arizona is a pass heavy team... If Mendenhall gets 10 carries a game he'll be lucky. On top of that Arizona futures one of the worst OLs in football. Oakland have a horrible OL but McFadden is a full time starter plus he'll get 5-10 catches a game. Chris Invory was struggling all preseason and was move to #2 position last week. He will get 10-15 carries. Montee Ball is a wild card... He will get anywhere from 4 to 18 carries. Fox will go with hot RB... Who ever does well wiill get more carries. I'd start McFadden and Chris Ivory just because Bucs pass D is better than run D.

I'd go with Medenhall, Arians knows his QB isn't very good so he's going to lean a bit on the running game and utilize play action passes. Mendenhall should get around 15 carries if he stays healthy.

Further more St. Louis was middle of the road in rushing defense last season giving up almost 120 yards a game.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
