Just because you can find a good late round RB every year doesn’t mean you will.
It’s not like there’s 20. There’s usually a guy or two in any draft at the most. There isn’t an abundance of starting caliber backs available in the 7th or anything. [Reply]

One, IMO the 7th isn't too late for any RB. That's the one position you can semi-regularly find studs very late and UDFA.
Two, it looks like Darrel is coming back, so I don't know where this need is for a RB2.
Let me rephrase that, it’s not at all a sure thing, and it’s still kind of hard to find.
Yea, you might get lucky and be the team that finds this years Phillip Lindsay, but there aren’t a ton of those every year. Maybe 1 or 2, and there’s a reason they’re still available. Nobody sees it coming. [Reply]

Yeah but what else can you do with your 7ths besides using them on flyers? RB is very expandable. There's a decent chance they could find someone who can do work. CEH is okay, but they can find someone to compliment him you'd think. [Reply]

It's precisely because RB is expendable that you don't use many picks on them.
A 6th or 7th rounder could be the next Fenton, a position which is much much more expensive than a RB. [Reply]

Part of me thinks were after high motor 3 down guys. Like Tamba Hali vs Dee Ford. [Reply]

DB was the other position I would draft there possibly. But, I also have them drafting some guys in the 3/4 rounds, hopefully at least 2 and maybe signing Gilmore too.
I know he's fallen off but he has been injured the past 2 years. Depending on the deal of course, he'd be a fine add. Maybe giving us the same production Charles Woodson gave Green Bay back in the day. He's smart, don't see why he couldn't move to safety. [Reply]
