I see that infatuation with Skattebo but what's the difference between him and Payton Hillis, Jacob Hester and Toby Gerhart?

Deepest rb draft in years. I’d hope they are doing their homework.

Jeanty
Hampton
Henderson
Judkins
Johnson
Gordon
Sampson
Neal
Giddens

These dudes are all legit

Kamara looked better than ever much of year. He’s never was nor will be a bell cow. His age is of little concern as part of a dual backfield

Firstly, I said the Ingram roll, which is not the #1 RB. He can catch, has some of the best contact balance I've seen in a while, and is a monster to try to tackle. How can those not be good? I would take him right now over any RB we've had on our roster in the last few years not named Kamara. Especially if you're talking mid rounds pick.

He had a bad year and he ran slow at the combine.

Brashard Smith out of SMU might be an interesting later round option.

He played WR at Miami for 3 years.

Smith was moved to running back at SMU and instantly had success, rushing for 1,332 yards and 14 touchdowns.

also 39 catches and 327 yards for more 4 TD's. Obviously being a former WR.

I just wonder if Moore uses his RB's a lot in the passing game.

Smith would have more tread on the tire maybe than some of these other guys seeing how he hasn't had a large workload over a few years running the ball.

He isn't all that big but doesn't carry himself that way it seems like when he gets the ball.

We can find a good RB in round 3. The first two rounds they need to go OL, pass rusher, WR or QB. There will be good options to choose from in the 3rd. You can’t count on Miller to be anything other than your #3 because he’s always hurt but your #3 RB usually needs to be a special teams guy and Miller isn’t that. I could see where the Saints cut bait if they aren’t impressed in camp. Moore has no connection with him.

If Jeanty is there at 9 you take him !!!
Problem is…. I think the Raiders take him before we pick at 9.

If somehow you take Jeanty at 9…. then draft OL in 2nd round and TE and WR in the 3rd round via two 3rd rd picks.

If Jeanty is gone at 9 ….take highest rated player from OL/WR/TE position at 9. Then take RB in the 2nd and two of the positions left from OL/WR/TE positions not taken in the 1st rd … per the two 3rd rd picks.

If you can trade back in the 1st rd ….and pick up another 2nd or 3rd rd pick… then employ this philosophy… so much the better.!

Stop wasting HIGH picks on defense for at least one frickin draft !!!
Please !!!
Just one frickin draft !!!!

After those top 3 picks…. actually 4 picks in first 3 rounds ….. THEN go to the defense.

Hopefully, the CAP looks better the next 2 years and you can bring in Free Agents to help the Defense.

Judkins is a Stud !!

Either Ohio State RB would be fine if we miss out on Jeanty.

Not sure if either OSU back makes it to our 2nd rd pick .
