How much longer will Jones be a top NFL performer?  That's the big question.  I don't know that we need to find an RB in the draft next year.  To find a Saquon Barkley, Adrian Peterson, Eric Dickerson...that type of RB (there is one, at Boise State), is going to mean burning up a first round pick and then some.

The Boise State RB is Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty is an all around great RB. He's also a good pass blocker & receiver. For that reason, he's unlikely to be available where we're drafting.

As of today, there's a couple of solid RBs that are due to be free agents in Najee Harris, Steelers & Javonte Williams, Broncos.

Although the draft is projected to be a weak one overall, it is a strong draft for RBs. We should be able to upgrade this position with the 3rd round comp pick that we're projected to receive from the Kirko signing.
