Quote:Simple...

 

Yeldon ...drafted 2nd round.

D Rob ...drafted 5th round, converted QB with hands liability to date.

Gray ...undrafted, 3 teams in 3 seasons.

Grant ...undrafted, fast, primarily 3rd down and edge back due to lack of bulk.

 

The RBs you list, aside from Yeldon can be upgraded on paper beyond 3 RBs in this draft.  

Sure they can. I didn't say they couldn't. 

 

But, with whom?

And why would we want to cut Drob one year shy of his contract to give some unknown or some rehash FA his spot?

 

Especially since we're talking about back-ups and role players.

 

My question wasn't answered. Why would you WANT your RB depth to essentially get worse, just to replace a guy who fumbled too much in his limited chances this past season.

Cut DRob, Pierce and Gerhart are likely gone.

Which leaves us with Yeldon, and two undrafted nobodies. (Although I think Gray could end up a solid back up)

 

Point of the matter is... D Rob definitely wants to stay, and there is no reason why fans should definitely want him gone prior to his contract expiring.

If this season goes by and he hasn't done much, or anything, we can move on and upgrade then. (Maybe Grant was the speed we intend to replace Drob with)
