I don't know why they paid Emmitt when they could've just used Lincoln Coleman or Sherman Williams. LOL The line was that good. Unless they draft a guy in the 2nd or higher.. even then it's a crapshoot. But the crowd talking about just fixing the line will be seriously disappointed once again in January when it's all on Dak to shoulder the load. At least it won't really be a surprise.
This is a golden opportunity to go get Derrick Henry. There isn't a single back in this draft who can do what he does. A RB with double digit TDs 6 straight years. More runs over 50 yards than the entire league combined. And you can still draft a RB.. and you can still fix the line. You want a legit running game, it's here for the taking. This could be a back breaker for opposing defenses.

14 plays of 60 yards or more
7 plays of 70 yards or more
10 TDs scored 60 yards or more

Why did we let Pollard basically sit early in his career and not prolong Zeke's?
Jeruh seems to be more interested in selling jersey's or he believes SB's are won by a handful of highly paid players.
I do not believe GM Jeruh does any research and see how SB winning teams are constructed. How many high paid WR's did KC have? How many did a Brady play with?
If you have $60M for a WR group is it better to have 6 making $10M each? Or is it better to have 1 making $30M, 1 at $10M and the rest at $4M.
I don't even believe Jeruh has a strategy and if he does he does not follow it and wings it with gut instincts.
