Well yeah, we can....at a cost. And that's the potential of a 1st round player. Not sure more is a better proposition for KAM, the 2023 Draft is looking very tame with the major exception of Addison. 2022 was an epic shit show. Too early on 2024, of course.

Jones' replacement will likely come via the draft
Best year for RB in many years. I'd be willing to bet our first two picks in the draft (a 1st and a 3rd round comp) will be CB and RB. Just not sure of the order. That will likely depend on where the value is at each position and what we do in free agency.

Jones has been getting 4.5 yards a clip and has scored 5 TDs.....not bad, but not great either. 42 receptions for another 2 TDs. He's definitely a part of the offense, but not a big part. Nothing to complain about at all but also not very many noticeable plays either.

I just wish we could run the ball more efficiently when we really have to - whether its a 3rd or 4th and short or 2:12 left on the clock. I never expect a KOC offense to look like what the Ravens, Steelers or Eagles run, but I think KOC forgets about it too soon and too often.
One of my few criticisms of the play calling.

He's still a very productive RB and like Supa said, he adds an explosive element to our running game. For an offense that is always going to be at least a 60/40 pass to run ratio, we need that big play ability out of our running game because frankly they aren't going to get the same amount of opportunities.
I'd like to see us add another young RB not to replace Aaron Jones, but to replace Cam Akers and be the guy to take the lead role from Aaron Jones in a year or two.
I was thinking the exact same thing. A two-headed monster would be ideal, and frankly, Cam Akers, while he has performed reasonably well, does not make defenses quake in their boots. I know its wishful thinking, but I start salivating when I hear that Boise State's Ashton Jeanty is not going to be a top 10 pick and may fall down in the first round.
