Hubbard injured?

[RenoCarolina]

Not sure why Chuba is still ahead of Blackshear anyway, regardless of ST.  Didn't both Blackshear and Foreman eclipse Chuba last year?  Chuba may do well at picking up the blitz but a RB that always runs toward first contact is a liability.

Some potential waiver pickups:

Patrick Taylor, Lew Nichols, and Tyler Goodson are all battling behind Jones and Dillon in GB. Not household names but could be viable. They’ve shown well.

Josh Kelly could be on the bubble in LAC.

My only bitterness from the draft is we didn’t get Tyjai Spears. He’s looking really good. Just like when he led Tulane to beat Caleb/USC rgh

Josh Kelley is a name that I haven't heard since TB trolls started posting in the main forum.

I think he's on his way out in LA. They spent a 4th in the recent draft (which they spent on Kelley when he was drafted) on Isaiah Spiller. Will be interesting to see what Kelley is able to put on tape backing up Ekeler.

The Dolphins are going to be cutting a solid RB - their RB room is Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson Jr., De’Von Achane, Myles Gaskin, and Slavon Ahmed.

Same with the Jets (assuming Breece Hall is ready to go week 1) - their RB room is Dalvin Cook, Breece Hall, Michael Carter, Israel Abanikanda, and Zonovan Knight.

I like Ahmad. He has good hands but he's not a bruiser. It would be interesting to see where he ends up.

He had a great game this weekend.

12 carries - 95 yards / 4 receptions - 32 yards - 1 TD

He might have some trade value for the Dolphins.

Spears looks great but I’d be surprised if he makes it through the season healthy. He has a pretty bad injury history plus once of his knees is missing an ACL…

Didn’t know all of that about Spears and now I feel bad for the kid cause I’m not exactly sure he went to the right team. He’ll still be logging miles on those legs during practice but he won’t get a heavy workload with Derrick Henry being in front of him. Personally, if I was him, I’d have wanted to go to a team where I can be the lead guy for maybe two or three seasons before my knee gives out.

On the other hand, maybe the Titans feel like they can prolong Spears’ career a bit by just using him as a change of pace back.

I will say he’s looked very impressive in preseason.

Slightly annoyed Fitterer and co didn't address the position in last draft. As a philosophy I like taking chances on later round running backs every other draft. Chubba has never really impressed me. Yeah he showed a lil something but nothing that would have stopped me from drafting another guy. I like Blackshear I'm pulling for him. That said I don't remember exactly who was available for that pick we used on DJ Johnson ( who I hope ends up decent) but if we were already thinking bout adding a vet across from Burns seems a wasted or at least long term pick. I know management has some faith in a Chubba, Miles, Blackshear and Brown backfield but I don't. Kinda like the corner situation I like the guys but as far as a draft strategy I like my corners, RB's and offensive linemen as overachievers weighted against they draft status.

So... your solution to our RB injury concerns is to sign someone who has only been able to play in 42 of a possible 82 games in his career due to injury issues?

I'd like to see us go and get Hunt

Depth purposes only.  
 

Hunt is a great RB, but a terrible human being.  I don’t want him messing with our culture.

He might. He's a smaller RB but he's fast and elusive.

I think teams should steadily add RB talent in the draft in rounds 4 and after.  Easy to find good young talent in this era in late rounds.   All you have to do is resist the urge to pay them when the time comes. 

4 rookie RBs rushed for over 800 yards last year.  3 of those were found in rounds 4-7.

I’d take Carter. Dude can play. Very similar game set to  MS.
