All backup type guys except Edoga could be the guy they sign to play LG and also a good run blocker. Jones should be signed as a stopgap guy depending of who we draft. Howard would see a lot of snaps on special teams.

All will be cheap on 1 yr deals if signed. And all would take care of needs for depth.
I could see Edoga sliding in at left guard if/when Tyron misses time and Tyler has to kick out at tackle. Depth next year (without a draft pick being used) would be Waletzko, Edoga, Farniok and Ball (with Ball possibly losing out to Aviante Collins). Farniok could get pushed by Lindstrom.

You’re not wrong, but it’s hard not to feel sorry for Dak in that scenario.

If anyone thinks it is wise to go into the season with a back who cannot pass protect, you guys are crazy.

We have to interview all available.

Trust me when I say getting a weakened Pollard to start.

Starting five of Tyron, Tyler, Biadasz, Martin and Steele is pretty stout except we don't know when Steele will be ready or how long Tyron will hold up. I think we'll draft an interior lineman just in case, probably within the first four rounds.

Fumbles too much
He has been fairly productive but he does put the ball on the ground
Fumbling can be fixed. Don't know if we have the RB coach to do it, but it can be done.

It can and sometimes it’s more of a one year thing. Zeke had one year he fumbled a lot but for his career was really good at protecting the ball. But this draft is deep at RB and there will be good prospects in the middle rounds. I think a starter quality RN could be easily added in the second. I’d rather get a young guy who may be able to be a starter quality player since pollard is on the tag. There is a solid chance you could get a guy that allows you to not have to pay pollard next year if you don’t want to

I think we do both. Jones would be insurance in case a) Pollard is slow to recover and b) the drafted back is a bust.
