So it’s a rookie, McKinnon and McGuire as our RBs. I don't think it's a priority to replace Powell he's a solid all around RB that can still contribute at a good level.

Honest Q Literally no one would agree with you; Jeremy Hill probably won't even make a team next year I watched MIN plenty this year as my favorite non Jets team. McKinnon is so mediocre it's not even funny. Again Hill is equally mediocre I'm not saying he is coming in as a bell cow but he would fit a role as a short yardage back. McKinnon wouldn't add anything we don't already have in Powell/McGuire and will just take snaps away from a player who flashed as a competent 3rd down back as a rookie in McGuire. IF he was notably better then McGuire I would consider it but he's just not. He's painfully average. It's not about the overall player it's about the role and fit. We could use a short yardage back more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the Jets to do minimal at RB in FA cause its such a deep draft for RB's and there's a very solid chance Barkley falls to is at 6 andis BPA.

Bobby816 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 A thing to remember is that Cousins will be the main goal in FA. Who was his favorite target last year? Chris Thompson. So a receiving RB will be something he wants. And we can’t go to the table with a pitch to him saying we have Elijah McGuire. His response would be, Who?!?!

Dr.O Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Personally I'm at the point where I would just rather roll with Mayfield or trade up for Darnold at this point. Just seems like we have to shore up the entire offense in 1 off-season just for Cousins to consider signing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnaby8787 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 McCarron's a UFA officially which could be huge if we miss out on Cousins. If Hue gets his wish and gets him, there's a very high chance that they forego taking a QB in the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been a Powell fan. But like I stated... watching him last year I saw him lose a step IMO. And he isn't young anymore (he'll be 30 next season). So with a cuttable contract I'd much rather get some youth on this team. I'm not saying that McKinnon, Crowell, etc. are better or worse than Powell. What I'm saying is that they have a lot more upside and are on the rise not decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
