Has to be better than what we have right now. Ran for close to 1k with double digit tds the year before on Arizona. His running style kinda reminds me of Latavius Murray.

He will see if anyone will give him a good 1 year deal.

If no one does I'd definitely kick the tires.

Isaiah Wynn has been in trade discussions by Patriots
Mon, Aug 22nd 12:53pm EDT
By Jordan Epp

According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the New England Patriots have "definitively" talked to other teams about trading G Isaiah Wynn for cap relief. (Source: Albert Breer, Sports Illsutrated)

Fantasy Impact: Wynn was a first-round pick in 2018 and has played in 34 games over the last three seasons in New England. According to Breer, the Patriots are low in cap space and would like to make room at positions of "surplus," thus a Wynn trade is being explored. However, Wynn currently playing on his fifth-ye

Is there a team we have traded more with?

I don’t see RB as a need. As 4th RB’s go Tony Jones Jr. is just fine. He might even overtake Washington since he’s been good on special teams too. Washington’ steal value to us wasn’t as the 3rd RB but as a great ST player. I prefer the 3rd RB to be more of a bell cow type guy with good size because if you ever get down to your 3rd string things are going bad and you’ll need them to handle the majority of the carries. Washington and Jones are both big backs around 225-230 lbs.

He's way more explosive than Murray and not nearly as strong a runner.

Still, he's better than anyone we have not named Kamara.

Murray had a faster

10 yard split
40 yard dash
Vertical jump
Broad jump
3 cone

And he was 13 lbs heavier than Drake. So literally not as explosive as Murray in any of the explosive movement testing

Like drake as a receiving back

Saints need to invest in a receiving back behind kamara.

Young Murray did.

Saints Murray wasn't that same guy. But, he was still explosive.

Drake, when healthy, is more explosive.

Murray was clocked at 20.1 mph last year with the ravens as well.

If his ankle was right I don’t think the raiders would be dumping him. Many say he’s not coming back from that one

Murray topped out at 22.48 mph a few years back. Not as relevant just like Drake pre ankle isn’t as relevant

If drake can still scoot he will be on a roster yes?
