I'd say the plan for him is to stay at special teams/3rd down back.

I wouldn't be opposed to us drafting a share the load back.

I don't think Lindsay would be that guy.  He's a small back and probably much better suited for the role Grant is playing for us.

If we draft a back, I'd expect someone closer to Fournette's size and strength, so we can keep pounding away instead of going with a "changeup" back.  Maybe reunite him with his backup Darrel Williams in the 5th or 6th round.

I think the review of the tape from the season/post-season (especially the title game) may have prompted the coaching staff and Cough-Well to offer up that tender once they realized exactly how underutilized he was in 2017. 

I'd not be shocked to see him schemed for more in 2018. 

Whether or not they deem it necessary to fill Ivory's former role with another power-back type remains to be seen, but a sixth rounder is surely worth spending on a prospect if there's one they like there.
