I feel Hyde’s price tag will be more than we would be willing to pay off name alone.

Yeah I agree. I think he will be overpriced for us.

CMC is our starting running back for 2018.  We might draft a guy in the mid to late rounds, but CMC will be the feature back.

Doubt it based on Turner's comments about not wanting to run him in the middle.

He'll be heavily used like Darren Sproles was, but probably not the technical starter.

RB is actually a position where the difference been a 2nd rounder and a FA is very little but a 2nd round WR and a FA WR is a lot more. 

Yeah, but I'm saying it's much easier to find what we need at RB in the draft than it would be to draft the caliber of WR we're looking for. I'd rather they spent money on a FA WR than try to strike gold in the draft.

I rather draft a young RB instead. The cap money saved from that could be use to extend Norwell  & Star who are key core players to success of this team.

Dude was a beast coming out his rookie year, but fell off recently. He was misused as a east-west- runner, rather than a power back, and suffered some injury woes.  To his credit (not for the Bengals in 2017) he opted to hit IR and repair his ankle that was giving him problems, thus giving him more time to fully recover and be back to 100% prior to FA. 

6'2", 236-lb back that is only 25 years old and has shown flashes of what, IMO, Turner is looking for in our backfield. 

I know our FA money is limited with Norwell, Star and hopefully a veteran WR (I'm talking to you Marqise Lee), but could Hill's market value be in line for us to take a bite?  You take away an injury plagued 2017, and you have a very productive/young back that was not properly used.  His 3 previous years before injury, he averaged 223 rushes - 918 yds - 9.75 TD/season. With Gio Bernard and now Joe Mixon toting the rock so much, Hill has a ton of tread left on his 25-year old tires. 

If Shula was here, I'd hold back, but with Turner alluding to CMC not being the de facto RB1, I am interested.  Just wondering what the market will bear for him. A rough 2017 combined with another solid RB draft could lower his pricetag quite a bit. 

 

Didn't this guy fug a minor a few years ago?

Naw. Younger version of current stewart

For essentially vet min or a deal for him to reestablish his value then I’m for it. Otherwise no. Look what happened with Lacy in Seattle...

I believe he was 18 and she was 9.

OK, she was older than 9.

Money wise you aren’t correct. Hill’s probably in line for a $3 million per year. Marqise Lee who’s done a whole lot less than Hill is likely going to get $7 million per year.

RB is actually a position where the difference been a 2nd rounder and a FA is very little but a 2nd round WR and a FA WR is a lot more.

That said maybe you don’t like the FA WRs, but 14 WRs make over $10M (soon to be more) and one RB does. Freeman and McCoy the 2nd and 3rd most paid RBs make Marvin Jones money. Desean Jackson the 12th highest paid WR makes almost 3 times the 12th highest paid RB (Lynch). 

I don't know how you figure Lee is going to get $7 mil per year. In any event,  I'd much rather take $3 mil and put it towards Lee and draft an RB.

unless its vet min, i dont want an ineffective RB with an injury history

That would be Nick Chubbs.
