You're right! I thought we'd already got to the 7th! MY BAD!!! That's definitely on me and would CHANGE the draft calculations. Thanks for pointing that out! (thumbs up smilie)
We don't really need one. Pierce and Singletary are both starting caliber backs. We've still got one more pick anyway and you can get rbs as udfas.
As long as the offense finds ways for them to get open and make plays after the catch it shouldn't matter too much. But yeah, it would be nice to have a speedster to make the defense focus on a little more than the others.
Yeah Demeco is DETERMINED to set a good, accountable, honest, hard-working culture here. Smart of him! Well we CAN get some as udfa's. I REALLY would like Keaton Mitchell as a 3rd down pass-catching explosive type back. Also D. McBride as well. We have 2 quality runners on the roster atm (Pearce, Singletary). There's room for 2 more on the final 53 man.
You can definitely see a trend with all of these picks. Production and leadership. All were very productive in college and team captains. Patterson's injury history was one of the main reasons he is a 6th rounder. Deep year at center, like that we took 2 with guard experience. They can duke it out for a starting spot and provide depth at the guard spots.
There’s a reason singletary could never run away with the starting job in buffalo. He’s an average back. We have a bottom 5 rb room in the league
A bad starter makes a good backup. If a RB room with pierce in it is considered bottom 5, I guess we'll see 200+ yard rushing games quite often next season league wide.
Yeah I hear what you mean, but imagine the offense finding ways to get them open AND some juice after the catch?! Here's hoping!
