The team ran for 169 yards yesterday....where's the need again? And Tuten is averaging 3.5 yards a carry....both Akers and Scott beat that average yesterday alone. Don't see the need unless you somehow want to see the need.

Scott may prove to better than most of the RB's drafted early if he continues to get opportunities! I was more in favor of getting a back up center than a RB. I assumed they would draft a RB next year.

I swear, Stick, it's like you are 11 years old watching your first season of the NFL. Let's check back on this thread in 3 months, then again in 3 years.

Taking a RB from this rich class wasn't AT ALL about what he would do this year, other than provide some much needed depth behind an injury prone 31 year old. It was very much about providing a future running mate for JJ.

It's been argued "oh we'll just draft one next year," with the assumption that he'll be good to go, week one, 2026. I hope you can at least now see the folly in that idea.

Or this crop of RBs is ass. You can't seem to put that in your viewfinder. I'll be very happy to draft a RB high in next year's Draft and start him. 3 years to find out if a RB is any good? Pffft. Hell, why don't we just wait for a Barkley or Derrick Henry situation? Lots of options.

One thing the team didn't need to do was draft a RB last Spring. And they didn't. Show me a good RB and I'll show you a good OL anyway. This goes down nicely:
