I think it's more about replacing Manhertz with a guy who is more of a viable receiving threat - but can still block well enough.  His H-Back experience is a plus as well. If Bigsby actually works out as a short yardage back, then versatile blocking ability is likely part of the plan. (drafting a late round fullback points that way as well) 

While I don't necessarily love the pick and especially value, I feel pretty good about this kid being a good thing for our offense. 

If Strange carves out a role early on and the RB proves worthy of touches, it will be really fun to see the new wrinkles in the playbook.

Should add up to a high scoring offense

Only downside is that it may HAVE to be in order to win big games after neglecting glaring holes defensively

To me the biggest gamble of this draft was not getting a high quality CB. Maybe one of these late round picks can beat out Herndon. Lord knows he ain’t nothing special.

Yeah, I'm praying to the football gods that Braswell or Johnson end up being an upgrade at nickel-back. 
Would be amazing for such late picks to immediately step in and do that, but I'm holding out hope...
