He's a smart, quick footed, great route runner, and PLENTY fast enough @4.40. If we manage to get an early 2nd round pick with a Sneed trade, I'd absolutely take him. [Reply]

Damien Harris is a guy who I've always felt is a little underrated but who'd be an excellent 3rd down back here if he could stay healthy. If.
Akers tore his ACL, right? Ty Johnson is somewhat interesting to me. Eno Benjamin might be.
Is Alexander Mattison going to be a vet minimum guy? He's proven effective in a reserve/3rd down role. Might he be willing to come here on a short term deal at/near the minimum? He'd be an upgrade on MEH.
Right now I think Mattison is my preferred target. Solid pass catcher and pass blocker. Effective as a change of pace back. Can handle 20 carries/gm here and there if Pacheco goes down for a bit. Then try to find a fast-back like Wright or Shipley in the draft. [Reply]
