I'm just saying he's pretty good depth. LF is the workhorse... can't have a bunch of studs at every depth position lol

I'm not saying he should start or get too many more carries. He has more value as a backup than some 6th or 7th round draft pick.

No, he doesn't. We should constantly be looking to upgrade our weakest positions. Backup RB is a weak position, especially when it appears we will be dumping Ivory after the season. I believe we can find a much better change of pace RB in the mid to late rounds of the draft. If we could get a late round pick for Yeldon, take it and use it towards possibly drafting a 2nd QB, (as a backup plan.) I fully advocate drafting a couple of QB's in the next draft. One early and one late.

I'm not interested in getting into a back and forth about it.
We're at the point where we are cutting late round picks.
Yeldon isn't the star of our offense and I'd be more worried about depth at LB, OL, and WR. And we need playmakers at QB and TE.
RB is really the least of our worries. For THIS season, we're good with what we have, imo. And for next season I'd be just fine with Fournette, Yeldon, and Grant as our primary 3 backs.

I disagree with your assessment of Yeldon as it pertains to his value for this team VS that of some late round pick. Yeah, I guess an extra late round pick would help moving up in the draft, but a 7th isn't going to help us move up for a premier QB. And Yeldon isn't netting anything more than a 6th or 7th.
