The next impressive play I see from him will be the first. Honestly PITs backup RB looks better to me People were talking about this guy like he was the next coming of adrian peterson. Hes like a top 15 rb in the league right now Edited January 18 by HokieHigh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's elusive enough to make it work. There's not a lot of actually good RBs in the NFL I fear. D'Andre Swift is a pro bowler and he's kind of a joke player to me. Kyren Williams had an amazing season and he's not overly talented but he's the perfect back for their system with great coaching to back up his skills. He's kind of "above average" at everything. Rhamondre Stevenson is a guy I would throw a 5th/6th round pick for to the patriots as a 1 year rental. He's dynamic and poorly used there. Breece Hall might actually be the most talented RB in the league after CMC. Can't believe what he did on that team with that OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 This is kind of a Koolaid place to be. But I think Gute and his guys have made so many excellent scouting decisions, at least for the moment I'm going to totally trust whatever they choose to do. . If they come back with Jones and Dillon and Wilson, I'll trust it. If they draft somebody, whether Day 2 or Day 3, I'll trust it. If they do add a vet FA back, I'll trust that they've scouted the guy as having something left, and that he might add to our team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pay enough attention to RBs though. Derrick Henry can still rattle off some incredible runs, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he would be an excellent addition for us. Much better option in our offense than Dillon imo. Other than that I agree with everything else posted. Love the idea of trading for Rhamondre Stevenson - I'd even go as high as either of our 4ths. I think your 5/6 is probably more realistic since he was drafted rnd 4 120 overall. Another guy I like is Zach Moss. He might get a mid-tier contract in FA but well, well below the Pollard, Swift, Barkley types. Those others don't move the needle enough for me to break the bank on a RB contract My top dream this offseason is re-signing Jones for another year and adding Trey Benson My 2nd option would be re-signing Jones and adding Moss in FA or trading for Stevenson and then maybe a Bucky Irving or Will Shipley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have a clue who would be a RB to draft or a free agent to sign. Jones is top dog for another year or two and then it's Gute's call to "freshen" the pot.

I'm just considering cap $'s for Jones and Henry would be too much which is why I didn't include him in a wish list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's palatable for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally fine player bouyed by an excellent O-line who creates some massive creases for him. he's not a difference maker. Zack Moss is a good name I think I brought him up as a Jones alternative. One cut runner who can catch the ball and is physical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Henry: I'll accept whatever path Gute decides to take, they've earned it. But I admit I'm not too motivated to add a Henry-in-his-30's to Jones-who'll-turn-30. This is an all-young, all-energy team, I'd lean toward a younger pathway. Jones: They love Jones, he's great in our system, and he's earned so much good-will within the fan-base and the organization. He would be well-served to re-work deal and stay with Packers as long as he can. He's got a chance to have a lifetime of commercials or media opportunities or whatever for decades. And obviously a chance to be part of a really good offense with serious playoff possibilities next year and beyond. So I assume he'll make it work so that he'll be back next year.

Both are running in our scheme, which is vastly different than being the only offensive threat for the Giants. It's a pipe dream of mine. I totally feel like we will draft a RB or two, but Barkley still has special ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
