A new running back for next season?

[Mac_MaloneV1]

If there's a really good RB that you love and fits exactly what you want, and if you have a late first round pick, I see nothing wrong with using a first round pick on a great RB like this year's Robinson or the previous year, Bryce Hall. It gives you 5 years of control with no franchising to run his legs off.....if you want a star RB. IF you just want a good one, wait. Most late first round picks have 2nd round grades anyway; it's all about having that extra year of control.

It's not about control. 5 years is a long time anyway.

The cap hit of a first rounder is still more than you want to pay a RB AND the bigger, more pressing issue, is the opportunity cost of using a first-round pick on a non-premium positoin.

Marshawn Lloyd is my guy this year. Good balance of speed and power with the ability to make guys miss, keep on the move and turn on the jets to take it all the way. If he was as good of a receiver as Gibbs or Bijan he’d probably go early R1, since he’s only ok there I think he goes early R2 so maybe a trade down or up for him.

 

[Mr_437]

Should have done it this year.

So many RBs last draft, and to come out with Deuce was malpractice. When a draft is heavy at a certain position draft a guy then because the next season that position is probably going to be light.

 

[Hardline]

The names I keep hearing for the best RBs are TreVeyon Henderson (5'10" and 214 pounds) from Ohio State and Raheim Sanders (6'2" and 237 pounds) from Arkansas.

I already have my eye on Raheim Sanders as a top RB target.
And this guy as well.

Any Zeke-like backs in the draft for next season. Or one that's a fit in Dallas system? Just don't think Pollard will be here next year. I wonder what direction Dallas will go next season?

Has Cowboy written all over him........

I can definitely see it.

You're overstating the class. Bijan is special, Achane had good moments, but there's not much after that. Deuce was a dumb pick but it's not like they missed the boat on some generational class of RBs.

We'll see. There was enough RBs where Dallas could've got one before the 6th. 6 games in and you know what the class will be, ok.

I think we have the RB we need. He is on the bench right now Malik Davis.

 

[Auggie22]

I wouldn't mind drafting Wisconsin's RB Braelon Allen.

​

 

[Pass2Run]

We need a OL, CB, RB, LB next year. I'd say another year of Hankins and Mazi, maybe bring in FA help there, but also DT, DE.

Too slow. Not shifty or fast enough for this league right now.

JMO. But Rico is ahead of him right now.

I'm all for bringing in more back talent. I'd be more interested in Shampklin, personally, over Malik. He's the smarter player, obviously. Both are likely JAGs, but Shampklin isn't going to be dumb enough to fold 'em mid-season.

Ehh.

 

[cnuball21]

I’m 100% down for anything but paying a RB big money. If that means moving on from Pollard all in.

Just don’t draft one early.

Reminds me of Emmitt Smith. Emmitt ran a 4.59 forty but was a slasher and a pinball with a low center of gravity.

 

[kiheikiwi]

We already put the tag on Pollard, so he will be expensive next year - gone.
We don't have 4th, 5th or 6th round picks. So unless we get some late round comp. Picks - it's a slim draft for us.

Have to be very prudent this year, a 2nd or 3rd rounder at RB will be a must.

i think Pollard will be back just at far less rate and go back to his Role, IF not Davis can play that role. as for the RB if we drop back to top of the 2nd im ok with picking up any of the top RB in this draft all of them are good vision good balance and are able to break Arm tackles. A few of them remind me of Emmett


All Purpose back:
Blake Corum 5'8 215
TreVeyon Henderson 5'9 220
MarShawn Lloyd 5'9 215
Audric Estime 5'11 220

if you want a bruiser:
Trey Benson 6'1 230
Braelon Allen 6'2 240
Raheim "Rocket" Sanders 6'2 240

 

[bleachedwheat]

Zack Moss looks to be a good FA RB if they don't keep Pollard he would be on my shortlist.

 

[Pass2Run]

Just don’t draft one early.

They really should have drafted Chase Brown this year.. Instead of Eric Scott and Deuece.

 

[CowboyDAK]

TCU’s Bailey would be a good pick for us. Probably a 3-4 rounder
