Willam, Weber, and Sanders are all worthy of a 3rd and would be good backups and possible replacements for EE
Taking a Rb in the 2nd or 3rd would be foolish.Don't draft a back up, especially one that plays like Zeke, with a high pick.
Zeke is the best RB in the NFL. He needs a complementary back up, sure. But you can find one anywhere from 4-7.
Yup.I still can't understand for one second why we would draft a RB before, maybe, the 5th. This player will get 4-5 touches per game, and I don't think anybody believes it is a good idea to depend on a late-round pick to protect a quarterback.
Sign a vet, move on.
Insert Henderson in place of Mattis and I’ll line your post.Detest the idea of an rb in round three.
Gimme Alexander Mattison in round five. More than happy.
And I don't understand your reasoning. To go RB w/ a high pick in a deep DT and S draft and a huge need there simply makes no sense at all.I can't stop now I have been banging the drum for Memphis RB Darrell Henderson all off-season. Love the fact he has hands, a nose for the endzone, and can finish runs in-between the tackles. I think he'd be perfect behind our line especially with his speed on the edges. Dude shattered D'Angelo Williams records at U of M.

Well the issue is that, a guy you draft, regardless of where, probably can't be depended on to recognize pressures and pick up the right guy. That's the one area where being a veteran in the NFL is hugely advantageous at the RB position.Yup.
Maybe draft a guy who can pass protect in rounds 5-7, but that's about it.
I am fine w/ ur idea of picking up a vet.Well the issue is that, a guy you draft, regardless of where, probably can't be depended on to recognize pressures and pick up the right guy. That's the one area where being a veteran in the NFL is hugely advantageous at the RB position.
Trayveon Williams is a really good pass blocker...NFL ready.Well the issue is that, a guy you draft, regardless of where, probably can't be depended on to recognize pressures and pick up the right guy. That's the one area where being a veteran in the NFL is hugely advantageous at the RB position.
No such thing as an NFL ready pass blocker at RB.Trayveon Williams is a really good pass blocker...NFL ready.
I don't want to pay Zeke and love Henderson on the cheap. Let him walk. I am a fan of Rapp and like him at 58 but others aren't. Henderson's my pet cat regardless of who takes him.And I don't understand your reasoning. To go RB w/ a high pick in a deep DT and S draft and a huge need there simply makes no sense at all.
Zeke was.No such thing as an NFL ready pass blocker at RB.
Henderson is a huge liability in pass protection and is not a very good receiver. Doesn't gain the tough yardage. He would be a monstrous downgrade from Zeke.I don't want to pay Zeke and love Henderson on the cheap. Let him walk. I am a fan of Rapp and like him at 58 but others aren't.

Saquon was. Gurley, David Johnson, Gordon, Forte, Ray Rice, all came in as good pass blockers.Zeke was.
Different types of running back. Pollard's the Tyreke Tyreke Hill guy. I am not trying to upgrade and spend a first on Najee Harris or the kid from Wisconsin in 2020 I want a cheap back with burst.Henderson is a huge liability in pass protection and is not a very good receiver.

Physically, sure there are guys. But rookies have a learning curve when it comes to assignments and Zeke blew some.Zeke was.
