Nice call!

Does it count that I picked Tank Bigsby in the draft game?

Absolutely. That was a great call on your part. I was genuinely stunned we selected a RB after we had a good year in Etienne post rookie season injury, Hasty extended, Johnson signed and Connor being an investment we moved up in last year's draft to secure.

Bigsby better be a damn rockstar as a rookie. I don't expect him to crack 1,000 total yards of offense with Etienne in front of him but he better make some big splash play contributions early and often to justify that 88th overall selection.

It would be really nice if he was a rock star, I would settle for less of a drop off from the other alternatives when ET came out last year. Maybe a better version of the Fred Taylor-James Stewart pairing circa 98-99

I'm figuring he makes Connor expendable by end of preseason and supplants Hasty as the primary backup at some point during the season.

If the kid can catch passes out of the backfield, he's already got a leg up on Hasty. He and Trevor just seemed out of sync on every pass.

Hopefully we have a legitimate 1-2 punch. You would have to believe Baalke and Pederson feel confident they have that now. 88th overall is very, very high for a RB. So, again, on my end, I don't expect 1,000 yards of total offense out of him but if gives the team a total of maybe 750 - 850 yards and 5+ TD's I would be impressed.
