Who wins the RB3 job?
 

Veach seemed to indicated the plan is to let the 2 UDFAs battle it out with Ingram and Prince.

Emani Bailey
Carson Steele
Keaonte Ingram
Deneric Prince

Who wins?

CEH

He's locked in as RB2.

Of that list Ingram is actually a really good fit....

There will also be some RB's that get cut before the year so it may be someone not here at the moment.

Yeah I think Ingram would get my vote

I think Carson Steele might compliment Pacheco and CEH the best in regards to being a true short yardage back, also seems to have a nose for the endzone. The RB3 spot will probably go to the back who can offer the most on special teams.

None of the guys on the roster right now have the talent of McKinnon per say to really steal reps, I would rank them as:

1. Deneric Prince
2. Keonte Ingram
3. Carson Steele
4. Amani Bailey

Could be so wrong though.

Sounds like pass protection will be a big deciding factor.

I've seen Bailey praised for his pass pro, and he runs eerily similar to Pacheco (but smaller).

I kind of think it'll be him if they don't bring somebody else in before camp or after cuts.

Could we trade for Derrick Henry?
He'd be a good RB3.


.......Prince or Ingram. Battle it out in camp/preseason.

I have thought La'Mical Perine had a shot at the McKinnon role. He showed a bit of pass pro ability, had some pop, and showed he could catch out of the backfield in his limited opportunities. I think it will come down to him or Bailey over the summer and through camp.

I honestly wonder how is RAS score is so ****ing bad.

It doesn't make any sense when you watch the tape. He looks much faster and explosive than his measurables would indicate.

No love for Rugby guy?

I feel he's our kickoff return guy to go along with emergency RB/WR person if people go down, although I do think Andy will dream up some screen play/wheel route shit specifically for him at some point.

Ask this question again in 12 months.

None of the above...Steele is the only one that has a prayer of chipping a DE. My $ would be on picking up a cut in August. I would love to see Bailey on the practice squad and replace CEH next year, at least he offers something.
