Between this and Stephen Jones' comments, I think you can kiss him goodbye.
We need to improve on what he offered.
That said, I am not a fan of spending a top 100 choice to do it, like Jones appears to be suggesting.

didnt even know he was a FA LOL
I still say they should have cut Olalwlae, kept RS as a FB TB Hybrid and ST standout.. hes big enough for FB and frankly as little as we used the FB , RS would be better suited as FB/RB3/ST over Olawlae..
If they draft a RB in the 2nd or 3rd that's (#21) holdout insurance imho, maybe not this year but... insurance none the less.Can’t we find somebody in the fifth round? Hate to spend pick 2 or 3 on a back up...
They are planning to give Olawale more opportunities as a backup RB this year instead of just being the FB.
Jamize Olawale
6-1, 238, 4.53 forty
Rod Smith
6-1. 231, 4.69 forty
And that is fine. Pollard would satisfy the unscratched Dunbar itch.We are drafting one. 4th round.
He should be RB3 not RB2. I agree he should gather more touches, but he is not a runner in the purest sense of the word.They are planning to give Olawale more opportunities as a backup RB this year instead of just being the FB.

The only other idea is draft a stud and make Elliott a one contract guy. I don't think that is smart. But I am sure the "you can get a back anywhere" crowd would feel otherwise.4th round works for me. Either the draft or calling the Browns and offering a pick for Duke Johnson.
But I don't see how you can justify taking Elliott #4 overall and then investing one of your few top draft picks on his backup. It's almost as bad as when we used a first rounder on backup running back Felix Jones. (Thanks Garrett!)
