2026 Free Agency and Draft: RB

[purplefaithful]

To me, Smith was a huge addition. I think we really missed Udinski last year. Smith might bring some really different looks in the run game. Loved what Miami used to do a couple years with all the movement and deception they brought in the blocking scheme and ball handling. 

I’m not mad if we go with Price at 49. Excellent KR. He came in a tad smaller and slower than I thought he’d be, but the tape is good. Maybe one Price for KOs and the other Price for PR and a little more reps at WR. 

Like safety, there’s a multitude of Cs I like. Slaughter is my favorite but there’s a half dozen guys we could land that would work. There’s a kid from Michigan State that just caught my eye today that needs a longer look.

I think McCarthy really missed Udinski last year...

When he left I said he’d be interviewing for HC slots in two years. I was off by one. Absolutely a rising star and an absolute mistake not promoting him while keeping Bum’s kid in place.

The RB I’m actually pretty high on is Kaytron Allen. You can get him in round 5 ish unless a team surprises and takes him in the 4th. Workhorse back that can break tackles and blocks decent. Patient runner that’s strong with size. Some will say we have Mason already. So? Allen is more talented and rushed for 5 yards a carry. Can catch out the backfield. He’s a RB I really like. Not to mention, he stays on the field and doesn’t have injury concern

Kaytron Allen all day long over Singleton. Allen is truly the all around back. Would love him in Purple somehow. Demond Claiborne I like as well.
