I personally feel RB has the most questionable depth for us going into this season. I have the pleasure of watching the poo lions because I live in Michigan, and last year was not a representation of his ability, the oline was horrendous. When the oline came to play in 2014 he reminded me a lot of J Stew. He's only entering his 5th season, and he himself has made note that 3 teams have offers on the table for his services, and I wonder if we are one of them. Would you be objective to this small but could be crucial move, considering Stewarts injury history? Or are you more confident in Tolbert and CAP handling the duties if an injury (knock on wood) were to occur?

For those that haven't seen much of him, he does have some punch to his runs and decent speed.

Might be the only one here that isn't confident. Tolbert has great intangibles, and is great in a short yardage pinch. Beyond that, I don't have a ton of confidence in our run game if (hypothetically) Stew were out. In the only regular season game we lost last year, CAP was the leading rusher.

I'd be fine with bringing him in, if the price is right. It would be silly not to give him a shot if he's cheap. Just pick the best in camp.

I like him, but we've got enough competition in the RB group already. There are teams out there that could put him right into rotation, though.

Me, I just couldn't see letting one of our guys go for him. No slam on Joique, but I like who we have right now.

He's still unsigned.

There's probably a reason for that.

If he has three offers on the table as he claims he does then that reason is because he doesn't want to sign, not because no one wants him. To your point though, I'll agree that it could be because no one thinks he's worth what he thinks he's worth.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
