RB solution and early round draft strategy

[kilz]

Add Khiry Robinson to provide a #2 to McFadden's #1. Keep Dunbar as #3/dynamic pass threat out of backfield. Draft a RB in the later rounds ( ie: Demarco Murrray in the 4th).

Use high round pics on Defense and pass catch options (WR/TE). QB later. Romo should be here for 2-3 more years. Too early to pay for future QB now. Late Rd QB is fine. FA QB along the lines of McCoy or better... great.

From Rotoworld:

The Saints are not expected to extend a tender to restricted free agent Khiry Robinson.

It'll send Robinson to the open market. Robinson is recovering from a broken tibia, but resumed football activities two weeks ago and should draw interest as a No. 2 back. He is functional in the passing game and has averaged a passable 4.12 YPC on 186 career rushing attempts. Robinson turned 26 in December.

Turbin is better than Khiry Robinson.

How do you know late rd QB is fine?

So you want two injury prone rbs backing up the other injury prone rb...brilliant...let alone all three posses a similar skill set.

What's the market on former Saint Chris Ivory? If he's not looking to get paid, may be worth a look

If the Jets don't want him back I would take him in a heartbeat.

 

[Verdict]

I am pretty sure Murray was a 3rd round pick that we had a 1st round grade on.

Ivory
McFadden
Dunbar
[curn spot]

I'd take that....leave the draft open and improve.
Hometown discount(+Oline) maybe? lol

 

[hutch1254]

I'm scared to death of rolling with D Mac again. I think we got lucky as hell with him and avoiding injury. I feel if we don't get a QB that we want at 4 then we trade down and I wouldn't have a problem at all taking Zeke.
You get your every down back, take some pressure off of Romo like when Murray was here and you get an extra pick.

Of course I'll change my mind 17 times between now and the draft.

The Khiry Robinson thing did me in.

Yikes, you got that far. "consider yourself sucked!"

 

[jazzcat22]

How about drafting Zeke Elliot, and have DMC as a rotation / situational / back up RB.

But more likely, DMC starts until Elliot gets ready to play.
Even though Dallas needed a better starter at the time, much like Jimmy did. Emmitt didn't start until Jimmy said he was ready to start.

Not tight ends please.
