There are over 20 RB's in this draft class that I really like and there's no way all of them are gonna get drafted. There will be some very, very talented guys who are UDFA's. I expect guys like Breece Hall, Kenneth Walker, Isaiah Spiller, James Cook, Tyler Allgeier, Kyren Williams, Pierre Strong, Rachaad White, Abram Smith, Jerome Ford, Hassan Haskins, Zamir White, Brian Robinson, Kennedy Brooks and Dameon Pierce to get drafted, but I also really like Ty Chandler, Tyler Goodson, Sincere McCormick, Brian Kobach, B.J. Baylor, Jashaun Corbin, Tyrion Davis-Price, Mataeo Durant and C.J. Verdell. I just don't see much sense in drafting a RB when there will be so much talent at the position that goes undrafted.

when you have 12 picks, you have the luxury of not needing to be a salesman to secure the RB you like or want. I don't feel like we have to be urgent in spending a mid-range pick on a guy or anything, but we have a multitude of late picks, doesn't hurt to use one of them if there's a guy who particularly catches the team's eye.

not gonna bother with this carcass, it don't even look like a horse no more.

With me, it's more about using those picks wisely, no matter how many we have. Why use a draft pick on a RB that will likely be designated to 3rd string once Etienne and Robinson are healthy? Especially when I see many RB's who will be UDFA's and are just as good, if not better than the guys who may be selected after the 4th round. We have a ton of other areas on this team that could be addressed like O-Line, WR, TE, Safety, ILB, edge rusher and even special teams and depth at CB, that may require us to use actual draft picks to secure the best players. I just don't see RB as one of those areas. I'd designate at least 2 picks, maybe 3 to addressing WR and I want one of the better TE's and Centers from this class as well. When you add in that we will be taking an edge rusher at #1, that's 4 early picks already gone. Even though we have 12 picks, we have so many areas that we could improve, we don't have the luxury of selecting certain positions we already are good at. Even if the starters at that position are both coming off season ending injuries. That's just my opinion.
