I know they've gotten younger and better there but they need to continue to do it. That's what the draft is for. But it is probably better to draft a RB for the long term anyway. I agree with you on the front 7 part but for a team that runs the ball as much as we do, the RB does have increased value. Plus we have no idea how the negotiations with Henry are.

If they do I'd do it no earlier than round 3. Actually I wouldn't at all but I know that's not realistic. japan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they traded down and acquired more picks, I could see it earlier. And if they take one in the first two rounds that tells me a lot about the Henry negotiations.

They didn't lose the AFC Championship game because of who their 2nd running back was... rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callidus Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 1 hour ago, scine09 said: Certainly not. And they scored 28 points in a game where he was the feature back. Which is my point. Another reason I want another power back behind Henry. The pass catching from backs means little to us. Just keep smashing the other team in the face. Any back can catch a dump off if it is needed. We are not going to start doing designed passes to rbs that gain big yards other than screens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue a healthy Simmons with the Landry and Beasley on the edge makes the front 7 better right now than it was last year, I won't argue Kelly is better than Conklin but he's not that much of a drop off. Pretty sure he actually grades better in pass protection than Conklin does. Pretty sure Kelly grades better because he gets even more help than Conklin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why they can't incorporate that. They need a back who catches well out of the backfield as his biggest strength much more than a pure running back. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus a RB who can catch opens up your offense as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can catch and could also be a decent pass blocker. It’s possible, but hopefully they will add a RB who can be the primary 3rd down back who can block and be a receiving threat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me adding another big bruiser would be better since that way when we pull henry the other team wouldn't know why. I think the reason dion was so bad in the pass game was that teams knew it.

Not saying he is the answer but he could fill the backup spot. And we don't have a lead blocker that often so he should be rested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line is that Conklin wasn't worth what he was going to command and Kelly isn't a long term replacement. They will need to address RT early in the draft imo.
