Mazrimiv Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 2 hours ago, spilltray said: Signing Dillon just means you only need 1 rookie RB instead of 2. You can use him in those pass pro and other situations where you feel you can depend on him and work the rookie into more and more responsibility over the course of the season. If you don't resign Dillon you are basically having to count on 2 rookies. This way you can get one guy this year and another next year. If they happen to find 2 RB that are good value maybe they do that and see how camp goes, but I imagine right now they'd expect Dillon to be on the roster. I fully expect the 2024 RB room to be Jacobs, Dillon and a rookie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having diversity in an offense is also important. Different skillsets adds more to an offense. Its a pretty weak RB class, not easy to find. Agree, diversity is important In the RB room, but at what roster spot cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 2 hours ago, Mazrimiv said: The idea that Gute just wants bigger RB's, and wouldn't be interested in a player like Shipley is a little nuts to me. Gute signed Jones to a 4Y/48M contract 3 years ago, and I'd think GB fans and FO alike would agree that Jones has been a primary engine of the offense since that deal was signed. Shipley comes in at 5'11" 206 lb while Jones is listed at 5'9" 208. Shipley's pro-day numbers for the 40 (4.39) and 10-yd split (1.54) were slightly faster vs what is shown below, along with a top 3 short shuttle (4.11) and tie for best 3-cone (6.81) among RB's. Now there are GB fans who think Gute won't be interested in a RB with this profile? I just don't get it. People are acting like a 206 lb back is tiny. Sure, he'll probably always on a 10-15 touch guy like Jones was, but why would Gute turn his nose to that? He's just always had that guy on his roster already. Still, I don't think we take a RB until late round 3 at the earliest, and I doubt Shipley lasts that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice thing about this draft - I feel like we don't need to worry about o-line. Seems to be about 3-4 players available that I like from rounds 1-3 no matter there I am in mock simulators. Just too many good options to not snag a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only minus on Puni is that he's already 24, but we may not care about that as much in mid rounds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its weak at the top but pretty deep in the third tier of players. A lot of guys I could be excited about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgbeethree Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 If you're dead set on using some "scatback" stuff in the passing game you can always draft literally any other back and have Reed or Watson motion into the backfield and run them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Love, I was pretty much staunchly first on Shipley. Just needed Incog's voice to get the forum juices flowing lol. I'm gonna do what I did in 2020 and talk it into existence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a Rasheed Walker regress from a disaster. Get at least 2 in this draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
