The way this team has gone about the RB position for a few seasons now is a mystery.
I honestly can't understand the thought process.
I think the Murray pick baffled a good number of people for a number of reasons.
Primarily, nobody knew where he would fit in. I don't know if anyone knows yet where he fits in. People say there is a need a RB because Barber & Choice will be out but I call BS on that because they don't have to cut Choice. If they don't give up on Choice, the need isn't as great. You knock out 2/3rds of any position and you'll have a need. Barber must go. I love the guy but he can't get it done anymore. Choice on the other hand has shown some ability when given a chance. Yes, I've heard how poor his average is when given 3-4 carries a game, I'm not interested in that. I think Choice is a guy who needs to get into rhythm and settle into a game. When he's been given a solid chance to get the ball, he's done good things. And I am especially not interested in hearing about his 3-4 carries per game average when the majority of those carries are form that worthless formation.
You keep Choice and you don't really have a need to fill. You can find a suitable role player. But if you listened to Goose on draft day, Murray only makes sense if he's starting. And if he is starting, what happens to Felix? Additionally, this guy sounds a lot like Felix.
I really don't know what to make of this pick. I didn't when they called his name and I don't now. It seems like they want more than a role player but not a true starter. It's hard to get a read on this team at the RB position. They play guys who are essentially wasting carries and sit guys who could provide at the very minimum what the wasted carry back is giving them.
I didnt' like the RB pick but if the team was dead set on a RB I may have opted for a trade up to secure a better back. If you're forcing a RB because you feel you need a starter, get me the best option that is reasonably possible.
