Ronald Jones Seems Underrated Here So Far

I don't get the lack of love for this guy. We have Pollard; we have Jones. That's actually a nice 1-2 punch. I'm not even certain we need another RB with Malik Davis and Dowdle on the roster.

In 2020, Jones had 975 yards at 5.1 YPC on 192 carries.

With Cooks, on the other side of Lamb, it's going to be hard for teams to stack the box on us too much, so I could see Jones having a similar year to 2020.

Coaches like to have guys like Pacheco win the job because it motivates the team to work hard. I'd say Rojo is maybe even a little more talented than Pacheco, and could have easily more yards than him for us this year.

In 2021, Pacheco had 170 carries for 890 yards at 4.9 yards YPC.

Could drafting another back in 2023 be overkill?
This might seem like a small thing, but in reality is huge. Who between Pollard and Jones is going to pick up the blitz? Because you might have a better chance with Bryan Anger.
