RB's.

Does that past CEH pick make anyone else feel like we might go RB a lot earlier than most expect?

We're down x2 RBs currently, the RB room is in worse condition than our WR room now, and catches out of the backfield are pretty critical for Andy and Pat.

I feel RB will absolutely be addressed in this draft, but I can't make up my mind how early they'll do it.

I expect La'Mical Perine to be a weekly factor this season, as well.

Considering we pick 32 in each round, I'm wondering if it could be the 2nd, to get one of the top guys, or for sure it's gotta be a prime option at the back of 3.

I'd be happy with a trade down from 2 or up from 3 to get Shipley in the mid 3rd ish. Don't think he lasts to 90 whatever, although if he does, I'd imagine he's a slam dunk compared to the 56th OL off the board or whatever else.

I haven't watched much of the class, but Jaylen Wright seems like a fit based on how we use our backs, right? And Guerendo is a capable pass catcher who runs better in space and could be the option for the third down back. He is just indecisive from the backfield - but in space, could produce until he gets more familiar with exactly whats expected of him. Not sure about his pass blocking though.

had a feeling the other day that we might land Cody Schrader in the draft

that would be nice

Crazy how J Wright's climbed from 7th round projection to a potential top 3 RB in this draft depending on who's board it is. One of the guys at PFF said he had him at #1, but changed to Benson last min.

Latest PFF vid has him at like #4-6 in this RB class. They mention his hand size and that he's the best pass blocker in the class, which I didn't expect. They also talk about playing around with an updated RB grading model, if they apply their new model to this RB class J. Wright scores 98.8.

I'm not sure he goes as high as some are predicting, early 3rd I think.

Jaylen Wright in the 2nd is a perfect pick for me.

I like him but I think that's too rich for me, unfortunately.

Maybe Lloyd would be available later.

He'll be 25 years old in December

I think maybe it doesn't matter with RB's. It's not like you're going to pay them a second contract anyway, more than likely.

Yeah, but wondering if he wouldn't drop a bit bc of that... Might be a good replacement for McKinnon, seems like he catches more yards than he runs. Hybrid WR type, maybe.
