Why do we have to use an early draft pick on a RB? They come from all over. Damien Williams for the Chiefs came from no where. Phillip Lindsay was an undrafted rookie. Not to mention do you really want to pay a backup RB 5 million? I sure don't.

Given that we don't know if we can depend on Fournette, Hyde may very well be the starter. I also hate the idea that we would have wasted a draft pick on this guy.

I really do think Hyde can be a good player.  Many of us liked him when he played for the Browns and the Niners. It's not fair to judge him behind this battered OL of scrubs, most of who won't be here next year.

If cutting Hyde is essential to getting Foles, I guess it makes sense. You have to make sacrifices somewhere. I'm more sensitive to cuts on defense---since it was the defense that brought us to the dance last year.
