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.

Sean Tucker from Syracuse would be a nice mid round RB

Dude is explosive

Israel Abanikanda from Pitt in 3rd round also would be great pick up

Bijon Robinsons
Gibbs
Achane
Abanikanda
Zach Charbonet
Tajea Spears
Zac Evans

Nobody is keying on a slow running back who runs with no power and gives little effort.

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.

Yeah I like Miller out of TCU he did have a minor knee injury though against Michigan in the playoffs.

Bigsby is as tough as they come running the ball in my opinion.

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

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.
