Didn't you see he fuckin missed whataburger?
I can feel his pain.
They may have just had too many backs. Pacheco was really good as their lead rusher. McKinnon was their best third down back. Clyde Edwards was their first round pick that they wanted to give every opportunity to earn that draft status. Ronald Jones I think just got lost in the shuffle. Not a better receiver than McKinnon, not a top pick for them like Clyde Edwards and Pacheco just kind of earned what he got.
Perhaps. McKinnon was pretty good last year. That is the guy I would have gone after between the two.
Yeah, I just wonder if they weren't looking at it as McKinnon is more of a receiver than RB at this point. Which is what Pollard is great at. They may have viewed Jones as a better compliment to Pollard. I think we will still take a RB but they are hedging their bets in case a third, fourth or fifth round RB isn't ready to split carries. Ronald Jones is the safety option basically.
Yep basically, we will still take a RB. And with Jones the running back we draft could be a battering ram or it could be a speedy dude. They have that ability because they know Ronald Jones can take some of those tough carries if needed.
It is like backup QB. Sometimes the backup RB has to also do some of the things a RB1 does. Otherwise you telegraph what is happening when a guy is subbed in. That is what happened with Elliott.
Just need a solid run stuffer at NT, doesn't have to be him. The great thing is there are a good selection of them in FA and they are typically not expensive.
does that apply to lane cloggers as well as DBs ?
