Does he make it to the second round? With Kamara's situation and age I think going RB early in the draft is a must. I know drafting RBs early is frowned upon but this team needs a spark on offense. We need a guy who can break the home run and I just don't see Kamara as the home run hitting back at his age.

Achane in the second even if we have to trade up would put us in a good position at RB and in my opinion a position at some point to trade Kamara for draft assets. I love Kamara but this is a rebuild and by the time we are good again he will be past his prime. Better to trade him now when we can.

be a mistake. Hard to justify trading up for a running back much less one that dealt with injury issues this past season in college.

Kamara I think is just being keyed on because we haven't been able to stay very healthy at other positions on offense lately.

The offensive line is constantly banged up one way or another.

We've seen multiple starters at quarterback the last 2 years.

Michael Thomas hardly playing it all has really hurt the WR group.

It's just been easier for teams to limit him.

But we do need another running back and this class has a lot of running backs.

Achane is small. I think he will be there in the 3rd. However I wouldn’t mind taking Bijan with the 1st if he somehow made it there. Would run to the podium if he was there in the 2nd. Also wouldn’t mind Gibbs in the 2nd. He has a similar skill set to Kamara. I’m not wasting our 1st or 2nd on any other rb in the draft. A lot of good options in the 3rd.

We didn’t use Kamara very well last year. I think we need a bigger more physical RB to pair with Kamara.

Rashid Shaheed, Olave and Kamara give you enough speed and elusiveness to be home run hitters.

I think we need a Bijan Robinson, Tank Bigsby, Zach Charbonnet, Zach Evans and Kendre Miller type RB. Although I’d also take Tyjae Spears, Deuce Vaughn, Achane or Gibbs as well.

It should be a good year for RBs.

Some team will reach for him. He’s expected to run 4.2

theres like a dozen frickin rbs we should draft before achane. we need a solid 3 down rb. achane is a great player, but he's just complimentary.

You can get good running backs several rounds deep in the draft. No need to trade up.

I'm a definite fan of drafting this one.

Dewayne McBride from UAB is who we should be targeting.

I would also try to get Tyjae Spears also if possible. Could a good 1/2 punch.

Give me Tank Bigsby, Zach Charbonnet or Zach Evans for that RB2 role. Preferably Evans. We need a violent runner to pair with Kamara.

NO Trading Up !!

You get this guy and have no one to block for him, because we traded away the pick we could have got a OL to block for the RB we need. let him fall to us .. Don't keep throwing away assets like SP use to do...

Bigsby will be a steal for someone who takes a chance.
