If the rationale is that none of the other RBs are signed beyond this season, it was a need, which we addressed by trading up for an oft-injured reach of a RB. I think they're really banking on home run speed. I can count on my fingers the number of backs who ran a 4.4 flat 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy408 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) So I will say this: it seems like what a Ziegler guy did was he went and got all of the positions that usually get drafted high in FA or via trade. Then drafted the best player available positions nobody cares about draft. a wise move Edited April 30, 2022 by Jeremy408 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he develops we can save on cap space by not having to re-sign higher paid RBs. I don’t get being this upset over a RB with legit upside, In the 4th. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Going to have to trust Zeegs and McDaniels for now. We'll see how things play out. Time will tell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 A guard, tariq woolen, and calvin austin are the guys I hope we can somehow get. Might be hard though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jacobs gets hurt. White could step right in and Drake can remain in his role. Exactly, White is a #1 type of back which we don’t have other than Jacobs, he could easily be our starter in ‘23. Bolden is a ST guy, Drake is a complimentary back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every position becomes a need at some point, draft and develop for future years so you’re not overpaying guys like Drake in FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a "need" is seems to change definition based on someone subjectively liking a pick or not. 🤷🏼♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while someone else may mention health issues let’s not forget Josh Jacobs was drafted in the first round and he’s slow or smaller and just as injury Prone. In a lot of ways he’s essentially a Josh Jacobs that’s more talented that we didn’t have to draft is high and doesn’t need to play right away 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got a lot of young OL already, vet help would be better for the group imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
