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.

There is absolutely no way this team should even remotely have brooks as part of any long term planning at this point.  It's a sunk cost.  Anything you can get from him down the road is a luxury.  I've got a strong feeling he's toast.  

 

As for drafting a guy the only person I would draft high would be Hampton in the 3rdish other then that just burn a 6th or 7th on someone for a back up role.

Why tho?

Why not just sign a vet RB for cheap. I can understand if we didn't have a elite RB already, but we do! If we going offense it should be WR not another backup RB.

 

Watching this football team and RB is the last thing I would think about in the draft. It's so easy to pickup a backup RB. We drafted Brooks and failed. Don't take another risk like that. There are quality RBs available in FA for dirt cheap.

A 6th rd pick is cheaper

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.

Yes. We need more than Hubbard.  Who isn’t a top 5 RB.  And go check the last draft, teams with great RBs….drafted RBs in rounds 4-5. You complete and  build backfields in the draft where it is cheap and you can find talent.  

and our PG QB that loves to play small could 100% use a recieving RB to compliment Hubbard and be there for when he eventually gets hurt
