Use your eyes.
First of all I'm not sure what is considered "success" when it comes to running the ball.

Second of all he has one of the lower carry totals on this list. Which tells you a lot. He hasn't been a big part of the offense and the other "RB's" aren't on the list. Which means their success has been probably pathetic.

This is like saying, we have a good #2 RB. Ok, but your RB room still sucks.

I still think DL was a bigger issue, because you need more bodies there.

But RB was still a huge need. And it would have been easy to fix with just one good player. Rico would be okay as a backup.

Of course, Jerry thought that's what he was doing... with Zeke. :doh
I think front 7 talent (either DT or edge) is slightly more of a need just due to the relative difficulty of finding those types of players, but RB is the worst/least talented position on our roster in absolute terms.

Yeah I mean I'd prioritize elite Dlineman over RB. Really if I rank need it's probably DT, RB, DE and WR. DE has especially been a problem because of injuries. But it's just such an impact position. DT has been a mess. No run stopping no pressure, just garbage all around.

RB just happens to be easier to fix than DT. A rookie UDFA would be an upgrade there. I don't need Jeanty but he sure would be great. I'd settle for any of the top 10 RBs from the up coming draft though.

DT, there is really one guy I'd love from this draft. Again, there are other DTs that could help. But one guy I think could be that special complete package.

But you could make the case that it still doesn't justify drafting Jeanty in the first. I think that's what Mosher was getting at.

He's above Henry and Barkley, among others, on that list. Enough said.

Yea I don't think Jeanty is really an option unless we're in the 10-15 range (lol).

Told you guys.

If we're in the 4-6 range I wouldn't be surprised at all if he and Deion basically forced his way to Dallas. I think there's a limit to what they'd do, like I don't think they'd push him all the way down to 10 if that's where we're picking, but if it's only a matter of 3-4 teams ahead of us I could easily see it happening.

CD has a little diva in him. Not sure we could handle another.

No he won't but we all know Deion is fond of the Cowboys and Jerry is fond of him. We may just be in striking distance.

Realistically he would pair with Lamb perfectly.
If we're picking at 10 I don't think it's realistic, but if we're picking at 5 where it's 50/50 that Hunter drops to 3-4 to begin with depending on who needs a QB?

I think they'd be more than happy to talk 2-3 teams off of taking him if that's all it'd take.

That's my main concern, and Lamb has a lot of diva in him, not a little.
Well I wanted to give him a little benefit of the doubt because it does seem to have calmed down in the last game or two.

I don't think Ceedee is diva-ish as WRs go. Getting frustrated at Dak sometimes I don't consider being a diva.

And let me get this straight: Say Deion doesn't like the first few teams where Hunter would go. He's going to cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars (at least) by forcing him to a lower-picking team he does like? How does that make sense?

And if I'm Hunter, I'm wondering, do I get a say in where I go, coach? You think Hunter's top-tier agents don't have knowledge and opinions of which teams are no good?

I assume that Hunter would be onboard with whatever it is, he isn't some sort of captive prisoner.
