They've gotta look for someone back there. What they've got just isn't good enough.
I think Saquon would be fun but he's played himself into a nice contract me thinks.
Same with Josh Jacobs. Man, he's ran so hard this year.
Any body have ideas there?
I like the kid from A&M alot, but I think he goes higher than we wanna spend a pick. But damn, he'd be perfect.

Here's a list of Reid's most productive RBs throughout his career (basically annually but many played multiple seasons in a row as the most productive back).
Duce Staley - 3rd round #71 (5'11" 242)
Darnell Autry - 4th round #105 (5'10" 210)
Brian Westbrook - 3rd round #91 (5'10" 203)
LeSean McCoy - 2nd round #53 (5'11" 210)
Jamaal Charles - 3rd round #73 (5'11" 199)
Charcandrick West - UDFA (5'10" 205)
Spencer Ware - 6th round #194 (5'10" 224)
Kareem Hunt - 3rd round #86 (5'11" 216)
Damien Williams - UDFA (5'11" 225)
Darrel Williams - UDFA (5'11" 224)
Clyde Edwards-Helaire - 1st round #32 (5'7" 207)
I think you can notice there is a bit of a trend there. Get a run and catch back in the 3rd that's around 5'10" 210 and Reid will put them in a position to succeed.
Still really confused why Reid has never used Clyde as a pass catching back. So strange when you go back and look at his college tape and when Mahomes advocated for the pick.
