Foreman is our 2

it's very often said that teams don't like putting tape out there of how the offense is going to look in the regular season and I think the first team offense ran the way they'd run it with CMC in there. they sent a lot through hubbard last night that would have gone to CMC, obviously. I think the understanding is that they wanted to give foreman enough touches to figure out our blocking schemes in real time. hubbard is the highest player up the depth chart we can use but can survive without. from a scheme standpoint, he was never competing with foreman. he was competing against the guys behind him. I think one of the ways they plan to try to keep CMC healthy is to give him the ball in space on pitches and sweeps and have foreman be the short yardage hammer. hubbard will be the 3rd back and will take the plays that are left when we need to give CMC a rest and it's the wrong down and distance for foreman.

Forman was always going to be #2. He's the perfect complement to CMC. Hubbard has some growing to do and his hands suck. 

To be honest, Hubbard needing to do some growing is exactly why I was not thrilled with the selection. RB is the easiest position to transition to the next level. Outside of pass protection and the plays themselves, there isn't really a whole lot of adjusting taking place. It's not like, say, an offensive linemen who usually needs an NFL offseason or two to get their playing strength up to that of the other elite athletes in the league.

I could accept him being the complement to CMC if his hands and vision didn't suck, as you and others mentioned.

Hubbard doesn't have 'it'...hes had time to prove something...time to move on with what hes shown.... Foreman is more than capable as a replacement.... Lovette is just as good an option.... godda move on from players that don't spark.

Yeah and with the guy behind him looking better in both pass and catch it should be a easy call.

Speaking of backs they gotta stop pretending Ricci is a fullback, he's ok as your 3rd string TE but I don't understand Rhules love affair trying to force him into a 53 spot. I see all these 53 predictions keeping 4-5 TE's. 2 might get actual work and the 3rd can be special teams. 3 TE's out of this jag group is enough

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
