We have limited draft capital, wasting a pick on a niche role is a wast of draft capital. Cost vs value? What are you even referencing, due to the abundance of quality backs these older vet power Rbs are cheap and affordable. Look at our Donta Foreman signing last season and Mike Davis in years past. Give me that all day, would rather draft a developmental guy in true areas of need then draft our RB 3. 

The cost of signing another FA RB is not a value vs drafting late or UDFA. Spending a few million in hopes of them working out is not as smart as taking a cheaper flier and giving them time to develop and get work behind other already costly and or solid RBs on the roster.

The value of the free agent RB market is very inexpensive. A above average back Damien Harris went for a one year, 1.7 mill contract. Rashad Penny went for 1.2 mill, linked below is Chuba Hubbards current rookie contract he was a 4th rounder and will make 1.1 mill this year. I’m not suggesting splurging on another RB, they’re a very undervalued position and can make economical sense in free agency. I would prefer to spend our later picks on higher upside positions in areas of need, we lack depth in a multitude of positions. Depth in positions that cannot be as fixed as easily as free agency.

It has to be Sanders. We gave him the money for it. We let our shirt yardage back, Foreman, leave for like 3 million dollars a year. 

Duce Staley likes having a tools bases backfield. Miles Sanders will 100% be our 3 down rb, Chuba will back him up, we still need a true power back. Honestly, not a very important position in todays age and can be found with a vet minimum. Or honestly, we could use Laviska Shenault in the backfield, at his size of 220 he would be our heaviest back.

We brought in Kendra Miller for a reason. He will be there in the 4th or 5th. He looked great in limited action against Michigan after missing time from a MCL. I feel he is pretty underrated for how well he fills a role. Sean Tucker is my preference but we will see how the cookies crumble later on in day 3.

I like Kendre Miller, Chase Brown, Deneric Prince as my later RB’s. Would be happy with any of them with our 5th round pick, hopefully we trade down from #39 and pick up some later round picks to play with.

Big Kendre fan. Plays so much like Foreman minus the one cut but plus contact absorption.

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
