Running back candidates

[darthseinfeld]

I a gut feeling that Randle, McFadden and Ryan Williams are these Cowboys versions of Derrick Lassic and Sherman Williams

Trade for Khiry Robinson, he's a stud waiting to happen.

 

[Bleu Star]

Hmmm, our stadium that doesn't open until next year is now 50% over budget at 1.5b.

Do we want to pay our PR problem running back 45m over the next 3 years or do we go with a fresh start with Teddy Bridgewater and Jerrick McKinnon?

I can't say if AP ends up here or not, but in saying that wasn't Minnesota offered a couple of firsts and more not long ago and they turned it down flat out? So why get rid of him now after already being offered more than what Dallas would give in a trade?

Can't imagine any team offered them two 1sts.
My guess is that no team had offered a single 1st rounder yet.

Agreed. I can't see that either.

That would be insane.

Brandon Cottom RB/FB
Purdue
Signed as an UDFA by Seattle



6'4" 262 rarely used RB/FB from Purdue. Many in and around the organization questioned the coaching staff of the offensively challenged Boilermakers for not giving him the ball.
If he winds up being a cut down casualty by the hawks I wish our FO would give him a chance. Good hands, ran a 4.6 at 262 lbs, great blocker. Kid is just a load to bring down. Tough yardage type of back that could compete for the dirty yards. I know he's a Seahawk for now but beats rehashing the same stuff. Just somebody to keep an eye on hopefully.

Might be worth a look, but aside from Lynch, who does Seattle have on the roster already? He's also listed as a FB. My thinking is that if he's not good enough to be a part of Seattle's uproven stable, then how would he be better than what we have. I've got nothing against checking him out, but I wouldn't expect much.

Now the real reason I replied (I felt as a courtesy, I needed to address your question also though). What's with the footprint avatar? Cut off and lo-res , yet clearly a footprint. I don't know why I am so curious other than the fact that I was tasked with drawing a similar foot print icon recently. Nothing wrong with your choice, I'm just wondered about the thoughts behind it.

6'4? Too tall for a real RB. Looks like a pretty good runner though.

Interesting player. He would make a versatile FB. He can rush, block, catch an is almost big enough to play TE.

Looks like a real throwback. It's awesome to see actually.

 

[Maxmadden]

We can always convert him to a 3T defensive lineman.

Seattle's stable is hardly unproven. They have probably the best RB group in the NFL in Lynch, Turbin, and Michael.

They have lynch and Christian Michael. Michael as I'm sure you're aware has been kicked around here many times as trade worthy, and he's currently behind Turbin on they're depth chart. Both of these RB's are 220 +. Not sure how many behemoth RB's they keep. Maybe he is strictly a FB. He would be competition for clutts if nothing else. He's certainly more athletic and might actually be a threat to touch the ball.

My avatar is the Tar Heels logo. It was jus too big for the format so it cut some of it off and I didn't feel like changing it again lol.

He certainly fits the bill for the versatile position flex type that they covet. He's actually bigger than Geoff Swaim.

Seattle is absolutely loaded at RB...imo
Lynch, Turbin, Michael....that's strong
Maybe loaded more than any team except possibly Philly (Murray/Matthews)

They landed Rawls too as a UDFA, who I think had a chance to push Randle

Good catch. He's another talented back.

Good speed for a big guy !
