Which running back do you want?

[rambo2]

Milage not super high on my priority list as RB’s are trending toward 1 and done contracts. They’re not OT’s you grab and pencil in for a 10 year career.

Part II of the issue I have is that even though he will be physically cleared there are too many stories of the athletes not be mentally clear from injury and fully trust that they can go 100%.

If Im looking at having a guy for 4-5 years I don’t want his first year ( potentially 20-25% of his tenure) feeling as if he’s not running at max. capacity. Just my take.

Hopefully, whoever we get gives us some very good years.

Im not as high on Allen most. One dimensional runner

That one dimension is one important thing we lack

Allen fumbles the ball. Benson 0 fumbles.

Im not talking just as a back. Im talking one dimensional as a runner. He wont do anything outside the tackle box in the NFL. He will have some value, but still limited. Not someone Im spending a top 100 pick on.

Whoever is the most injured. Can't have a healthy RB. They might ask for a raise.

Thanks for your insightful post. You add so much with your thoughtful input.

I’m starting to like Jaylen Wright a lot. Been in love with Allen and Benson for awhile. If Brooks didn’t have that ACL I would like him more. It will be a year before he’s fully back.

I agree Wright, Allen and Benson any of these guys, look like good players.

Lloyd from USC looks good too.

m\\I dont wan to draft a Rb in the 2nd RD,i would gladly take one in the 3rd RD and Benson is my Favorite.

 

[BadLieutenant]

I'll go with Trey Benson.

Get him in rd#2,&live w/it

 

[Cowboyny]

Benson
Brooks
Isaiah Davis ....South Dakota State ( top rushing RB, 1500+ yards, 6.7 ypc )

Cowboy Fan at work has been pimping Davis for several weeks, heard Cowboys have strong interest.

 

[Cowboyny]

Benson, Brooks, Wright for me.

 

[Mikexike]

benson, wright, brooks.

any of those guys will be great. I'd take Benson in the 2nd round and the other 2 3rd round.

Benson 1, Brooks 1A. I dont think we have a real shot at Benson, and Im not as worried about Brooks knee as others.

Wright and Irving as close for me. Wright is a freak athlete, and Irving is a " bettee than the sum of his parts" kind of player. Both should be productive backs. I have Allen behind them. He is only going to be able to run inside the tackle boxes in the NFL, and thats going to limit him. He is going to he like Damien Harris

I agree with this. I would be OK with Brooks and am not that worried about his knee (or our history with hurt second-rounders). I would like to take a second back later in the draft to compete with Dowdle for the No. 2 role and possibly be an option if we do take Brooks, in case he's slow to make it all the way back.

I can understand that take on it.
