Time to draft a running back?

[Panthering]

I mean Dan Morgan talking about some DAWGS on the team, Cam Skattebo fits that to a T after what I watched.

Ok who do you think will be available on Day 3?

Good question and I’ll be more up on it when we know who enters the draft. I would think anyone eligible as RB is not a position that you risk going back to school.

I will say that while Skattebo was fun to watch in college, I don’t think he’s an NFL RB. He was so worn down facing NFL quality DL that I wouldn’t touch him unless he knocks the combine out of the park. I don’t think he’d make a full NFL season as a lead back.

I will watch the combine to see who impresses. Henderson from OSU, Moss from Texas A&M and Neal from Kansas are all RBs I have seen a bit of that could be decent compliments to Chuba if they drop into day 3. Not too sure about Judkins, it just seems like Henderson just produces more when I’ve seen him and I think Judkins is ranked higher. The rest of the RBs will go too early for us to pick given we did invest in Brooks or are RBs I’ve never seen. We do have to give Brooks a shot because we aren’t playoff bound in 2025, but we also need to realize he may never be who we hoped and Chuba needs someone to help.

Round 5 or 6 - Kaytron Allen

I like it but I think we can get him in 7th round.

One guy I was interested in is going back to school Jayden Ott from Cal had an injury plagued year this year so he’s going back to school. Might not be the best idea as RB shelf life isn’t long but he likely would have dropped to 6-7 round. With all of our extra picks, might have been a nice flyer based off his freshman and sophomore years.

This is a super deep RB draft. Getting one that is BPA on our board in the mid to late rounds isn’t out of the question. Sanders will/should be gone. Brooks on extended IR. Need Hubbard insurance. 

4th to 7th rounds - sure why not.

Yea, let's trade up to take an injured RB who could become a star. Dan Morgan knows how to get the best value out of our picks.

Oh yes we saw how that worked out last week against one of the worst defenses in football. GTFOH

We literally just paid a RB who's damn good. We drafted a RB in the 2nd round last draft. Now you're suggesting we draft another RB.

 

If this isn't insanity I don't know what else is. RB is near the bottom of my list in terms of concern. People suggesting a all defense draft yet you in here pushing for a damn RB after we just paid Chuba smh.

 

Nah son you GTFOH!

Brooks doesn't exist at this point in terms of 2025.  Really, he doesn't even count at all given the injuries.  He is not in the random dude that might one day recover and be ok.   That's barely playing football for a very long time at that point. 

We need more than Hubbard.

Yeah I'm kind of with you on this one. Someone to fill in as backup rb for one year shouldn't be a priority on a team with this many holes to fill, especially when Chuba has shown to be a capable workhorse. I could be on board with maybe a 6th or 7th rounder for someone with a 3rd round grade but not much more than that. Would be smarter to just workout a bunch of UDFA RBs and pick the training camp/preseason standout to be your short term backup.

The third? Round? He will be long gone

You get it. Suggesting a RB is borderline insanity. We just wasting picks if that's the case. So what do we do with Brooks when he comes back the following season?

 

Like cmon people think this stuff out.

My goodness!

We need more than Hubbard who's arguably a top 5 RB. So you want to spend another draft pick on yet another RB to backup a top 5 RB.

 

I don't get it. I just don't get it.
