I think the hype around Robinson and to a lesser extent Gibbs is misplaced. These guys aren't generational talents yet some of you are acting like they are.
you dont know this not knowing whats on the board. sorry it would be a bad move to trade up for a RB ..it is and WILL NOT HAPPEN. BOOK IT time to move on you are way excited with hyped names ..its in your name go take a chill pill and relax.. you trying to tell me this is generational back like ricky Williams and Barkly they both never lived up to that hype. thats just 2 off the top of my head, there are some other backs of equal or close talent at better value, its been proven for years in the draft..
There’s 3 first round picks dedicated to the line already. The other 2 starters have proven worthy and will get 2nd contracts. They have 4th and 5th round picks on backup tackles. Exactly how much draft and cap capital needs to be dedicated to the line for it to function. Even if Tyler wasn’t going to be moved to guard for this season you shouldn’t have to dedicate a 1st round pick for a left guard. You should be able to fill that position in a zone scheme fairly easily with a 3rd to 5th round pick.
Mmmmm…. K!
How much draft capital and money needs to be put into the TB position for it to function? We just spent a Top 5 pick on a TB, then gave him the largest contract in NFL history for a running back and it never really altered the trajectory of the franchise. We were still a maybe get in, likely lose early type team.
Uh 2016, and he’s not on the team. It’s fairly obvious they’re not keeping Pollard past this season or they’d have given him a multi year contract for a reduced cap hit this season. But hey, 3 1st currently on team, another retired. A 2nd and 3rd playing for someone else. 2 moderately large contracts coming up. One moderate to large we’re paying dead money on vs a 1st “who was 50% of the offensive production that first 3 years” and a 4th. Go back and watch that 49ers game. The offense was starting to take over when Pollard went down. Position is too important for the offense to just rely on a RB who hasn’t proven he can carry the load for a season and a bunch of backs you might as well throw a dart at a board to determine which one is best!
No ketchup on the burger, it's for the onion rings.Nah cut the mustard, no ketchup, take mayo, no onions, add jalapenos.. thats a #1 pick that should be considered. it will be a player we didn't see coming
Maybe take a less selfish approach to the draft.
2016?
I have no say so in who they draft, and they could do a lot worse than drafting Bijan. Maybe mind your own damn business.
Think of others more in the future. Not everything's about you.
There's something seriously wrong with you.
Hmmm… more important position? We haven’t gone to the SB in close to 30 years. In that time we’ve dropped multiple first on the OL, DE, CB, LB, WR etc and none had a more immediate impact getting us to at least a playoff game than Zeke did in 2016. He’s pretty much the sole reason we were there to get bounced. Regardless, there’s a hell of a big difference between the 4th pick and the 26th. The way Jerry has decided to run FA (this year) like he’s been given a terminal diagnosis, RB is probably the position that can come in and have an immediate impact making this team better now. Again by the 26th pick, if either Robinson and Gibbs are still there, both are by far the BPA and both have a much higher chance of coming in and making an immediate impact than any other player!
They tagged Pollard. So unless they are planning on rescinding the tag, Pollard is going to be the start and get most of the carries/touches. Robinson, at best, would split carries with Pollard.
Yes they tagged Pollard. Not giving him a multi year contract would indicate they’re either not keeping him for more than one year or don’t expect him to be able to carry the load by himself. Two backs, splitting carrys, both with the ability to run 900 to 1200 yards rushing each and 500 yards receiving each, is much better than one. Again at 26, BPA and most likely to make an immediate impact!
