Yeldon is easily our best RB and it isn't even a question.

I'd like to see Yeldon extended if possible although I know the cap makes it tricky. He's just such a great change-of-pace from any traditional runner like Fournette and Hyde, and he's got that third downs role down pat. He did miss a block on third downs this past game, but you don't see that very often from him. That said, he's not better than Fournette as a feature back and wouldn't have done any better on those goalline plays. Fournette just needs to stay healthy so he can stay consistent, as do the OLs in front of him.

As for Hyde, I scratch my head trying to understand the trade. I guess they needed insurance with Fournette out so much, but I'm not overly impressed with the guy. 

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I'd rather see us keep Grant. Yeldon is a solid receiver, but as a pure runner, he's got some very real limitations. Grant, while not being as "polished" as Yeldon, is explosive, and with Fournette looking to date like a wet blanket, we need explosive.

And who would you replace him with? Find me a talent evaluator worthy of the GM title who:
A. Would be willing to move to a "name only" role where he doesn't have final say
B. Works for a team that would let a skilled talent evaluator leave for a "name only" role without final say

The only way Caldwell gets replaced is from within, and considering the structure of the scouting organization, that's just going to get us a Caldwell disciple. Last time we tried promoting a guy who worked under a failure, we got Gene Smith.

Yeah. Will Rackley and Guy Whimper were top notch! 

Hey, Whimper was a great tight end. Too bad he played tackle.
