What type of RB would you like to see as our starter?

[KJJ]

Well, since we are running back, we have to resign Pollard.

He won’t be re-signed unless he signs a team friendly deal. Likely to be a big change at RB next season.

 

[deerhunter11]

draft a back with power and speed and bring in HENRY .Draft a center and a tackle.

Was there something Lynch was exceptional at on the field.

I know he was a bruiser but also had the personality on and off the field.

But he never once seemed as lethal as Marion Barber to me. Similar players...but Barber always seemed better to me.

Did Lynch run way faster? Catch passes better? Block better(Barber was a good blocker if im not mistaken)

Just never understood Lynch over Barber. Maybe im a homer or uneducated on Lynch.

I thought he was simply a stronger runner and almost unstoppable in short yardage situations and his longevity was proven

Not taking anything away from Barber though

I think today RBs have to have exceptional speed and they have to be able to catch the ball coming out of the back field, and that doesn't mean just having good hands. There is a knack to taking catching the ball and making the first guy miss, or taking off at full speed after the catch. But Having a power back is also a good thing. In other words, RB todays is really two RBs.

This is a pretty poor RB draft class. Wouldn't be 1 bit surprised if the first RB off the board is in the 4th round.... partly due to the lower class RBs...and partly due to the sheer number of great players at other positions.

I could see 12 WRs coming off the board b4 the 1st RB does. Maybe more. Historically great WR class.

I'll play along. It doesn't matter if jerry picks the guy, isn't this how it works? It doesn't matter what he does he has the jerry excuse.

 

[jazzcat22]

Bring back Zeke.

I like the style and speed of a few in Gus Edward from Baltimore, and also Pachecho in KC And his tough runs as well.
Also a RB like Taylor from the Colts.

Not sure if any are in the draft that fits those or not.

 

[MWH1967]

One that runs pissed off! 6' 230ish

 

[charron]

A starting RB needs to be somewhat elusive, break tackles, be patient but explosive when he sees the hole.

 

[FanofJerry]

Seems like a Pacheco is ideal in todays league.

Dont know about his ability to catch or block...

But he is fast, small enough to be juke-y and runs hard as h e hockey sticks.

Wouldnt mind a guy like that. Pollard runs hard...just not as hard as Pacheco.

 

[gimmesix]

CLEARLY an OL would be the best RB we get that. With that said, would you like to see a bigger more physical running back, or a back that's smaller in size with more of a potential for homeruns?? What type of RB would work best in our offense?

McCarthy showed a propensity to primarily use middle runs, so we definitely need a physical back. Obviously, one who could both be a banger between the tackles and a home run threat would be ideal, but for what we saw McCarthy do with the run game, I'd choose power over speed.

FA: Henry

Draft : best available Rd 3

Ron Dayne

On steroids

Pacheco is ideal for Mahomes not Dak

We need a run game that can do 2 things:

1. Will be effective even when the defense knows we will run

2. Take the ball out of Daks hands when he gets the yips

 

[visionary]

Henry and Allen

Now we are talking

 

[Coogiguy03]

The whole offseason has been a mistake so far.

They make a few moves would it impress you???

 

[Coogiguy03]

A Marshawn Lynch clone works for me. Let's get our own Beast Mode up in this piece.

RIP MB3

 

[Coogiguy03]

RB by committee. Get 3 of them and keep them all humble and hungry. 1 goes down you got 2 more just like him. Time for a new contract, trade them or let them walk. Keep drafting RB in the middle rounds.

With a $60M QB's you have to make cuts somewhere.

such an easy position to fill, not that hard to find a RB

 

[Coogiguy03]

problem is ownership doesn't make an attempt...this was clear by their refusal to not go out and sign DH when we needed a back like him

good point, hopefully they fix it this off season
