Don't think staff will be going after RB this cycle in portal.

Am I crazy for that line of thought as well?

Totally agree. DT should be the target this cycle in the portal and Kelly emphasized that is where they will concentrate.

I don't think they are necessarily desperate for a RB. But I also don't think they wouldn't consider any options that potentially come available. For instance, I don't think Kelly was necessarily looking for a QB in the winter of 2022. However, when Daniels entered the portal they explored that option and, obviously, decided he could be a benefit to the team.
Right now the only RB definitely leaving is Emery. But given the nature of the position, it's not unreasonable to think Diggs and Williams may consider leaving as well. RB has the shortest shelf-life of any position in the NFL. Teams are reluctant now to give even the best RBs a big second contract. So the thought it to try to make it in the NFL as soon as possible with a much "tread left on the tires" as possible.
If they go, you are likely looking at a backfield of Jackson, Holly, Durham. You suddenly go from "deep" to inexperienced in a year where you are probably going to have to lean on your RBs more than you have in the past two seasons. Sampson is a guy that has experience and some degree of production in the SEC. If he is someone who wanted to come back home I think the staff would at least consider the option. Just like they did with Diggs
