I know the position is undervalued, but Pacheco is an awfully important piece of this offense now, and moving forward. He's also going to wear down fast.
I'd like to address the RB2/split time spot in this draft. Mckinnon is probably close to done, and Clyde is not an answer long-term.
Who do you like? I'm not saying first round, or even second-but by the mid rounds, I'd be looking for an all-around back to split time with Pacheco. [Reply]

Don't think there are any Achane's in this group but Shipley, Jonathan Brooks (Texas), and Emani Bailey (TCU) are pretty quick off the top of my head. Maybe Bucky Irving (Oregon) but he's going probably 2nd round [Reply]
I like Marshawn Lloyd as a day three option. He’s a fluid, physical runner with the speed to get to the edge. He’s pretty creative in the open field, as well. [Reply]
I haven’t looked who is an available but I definitely want some home run speed, like Gibbs, Achane ,Keaton Mitchell etc..to go with Pacheco. Pretty much McKinnon replacement. [Reply]

He reminds me of the Mitchell kid out of East Carolina that the ravens took. Similar size.
I’m ok with his size. He runs hard. And would be more of a McKinnon role. Still helping to lighten the load for Pacheco. But he has game breaking speed and can score at any point on the field. [Reply]
I'd love it if Mckinnon retired this offseason, and then stayed on as running backs coach. He's about the smartest damned player at that position I've seen.
