No. Scrubs at RB.

Draft RB1 in the 1st round. There are 3 on the board that are immediate starters.

Trade up if we have to.

Fix the problem.
Unless I'm missing something, or there is a player I haven't seen, but it's possible the first RB off the board goes in the 3rd round. Why would they pick one in the first?

People keep using New England and KC as examples but discounting they had Brady and Mahomes.

I agree in this day you don’t need a first round back. But it not like you can get by with late round backs and Udfa’s, especially when you have to limit your $60 million QB throwing the ball.

Most quality backs are being drafted in the 2nd-4th rounds. We had some success doing that in the past with Murray and MBIII.

RB is least of the problems. Put a unit in front of them that can open some lanes with some regularity and Pollard & Dowdle would be a fine duo.

It doesn't matter who you put back there if they are getting no blocking.

So who is our RB1 and RB2?

last I checked, both of them are scrubs, and/or UFA/RFA.

RB1 in the 1st fixes everything.

Rookie contract with 5th year option.

its gonna happen.

It doesn't matter without blocking. Don't know how much clearer I can say it.

Put any two decent RB's behind a line that is opening holes and you will get production.

You add a 1st round lineman like Jackson Powers-Johnson and the line can block.

Might indeed shore up the middle. I didn't watch a lot of Oregon but if I recall correctly I was pretty impressed by their OL.

This is the 'Any Scrub RB can do the job....."

But our 4 Pro Bowl OL cant block?

And Solari, who spend 2 seasons with Landry, can't coach?


Draft RB1 in the 1st round.

Pick up RB2 in FA.
