Good analogy. I'd go hunt hard for a RB in the fifth but I am convinced we won't take RB even then. One of the RBs that goes fifth or later in this draft will be a good player. But we won't even try. All those predraft visits and hard scouting of the position and I really think it was Brooks or bust in Jerry's mind.
A RB that averages 3.5 ypc is a 2 at best.
Jerry also knows half the fan base has no idea how washed up Zeke is. Rolls Royce is probably better than him at this point.
David Moore was saying last night that when he'd mention backs around the third, his people in the organization would tell him, you're too jumpy on these backs, there'll be good ones there later.
It's true, I want to make a list of RBs I love left. There are plenty but then by our pick most of those guys will be gone. And then when we make the pick and it's a corner or safety I'll just be that much more depressed.
I mean right now I can list backs that might be just as good or similar. But by the end of the fifth? We will be drafting McClellan or something.
There are plenty of names but these dipshits better not sit on their hands for 70 picks hoping one falls. They traded a future pick last year to take some schlubo named Eric Scott who will probably be cut in about 5 months, they can do the same here for a guy who would likely be our best RB on the roster day 1 (Wright, Allen, Estime, maybe even Davis).
Me too but they wouldn't use it on a RB anyway.
Wright has low mileage.
I don't think he is used up. Colleges runs aren't the same as NFL runs.
I'd trade the rest of the draft for him...
I loved her in A League Of Their Own.
That's your WR3 have some respect
