Behind 5 beasts on the offensive line. CEH could have average 6 ypc with that line.

I don't want another midget running back anywhere near this team.

In fact, I hope we find a RB that is actually different than what we have. It would be nice to have a big back to give the offense more options. I know being bigger doesn't mean better, but I am so sick of watching us run up the middle on 3rd and 3, only to get stuffed at the LOS.

Does that past CEH pick make anyone else feel like we might go RB a lot earlier than most expect?

We're down x2 RBs currently, the RB room is in worse condition than our WR room now, and catches out of the backfield are pretty critical for Andy and Pat.

I feel RB will absolutely be addressed in this draft, but I can't make up my mind how early they'll do it.

I expect La'Mical Perine to be a weekly factor this season, as well.

Nice breakdown

They are WAY higher on Tyrone Tracy than I am. One thing with Tracy is he's a 24-year-old right now so that's a big factor when you start looking at a RB.

They seem to be in the same ballpark as I feel on the rest though.

I haven't watched much of the class, but Jaylen Wright seems like a fit based on how we use our backs, right? And Guerendo is a capable pass catcher who runs better in space and could be the option for the third down back. He is just indecisive from the backfield - but in space, could produce until he gets more familiar with exactly whats expected of him. Not sure about his pass blocking though.

had a feeling the other day that we might land Cody Schrader in the draft

that would be nice

Crazy how J Wright's climbed from 7th round projection to a potential top 3 RB in this draft depending on who's board it is. One of the guys at PFF said he had him at #1, but changed to Benson last min.

Considering we pick 32 in each round, I'm wondering if it could be the 2nd, to get one of the top guys, or for sure it's gotta be a prime option at the back of 3.

I'd be happy with a trade down from 2 or up from 3 to get Shipley in the mid 3rd ish. Don't think he lasts to 90 whatever, although if he does, I'd imagine he's a slam dunk compared to the 56th OL off the board or whatever else.

Jaylen Wright in the 2nd is a perfect pick for me.

I like him but I think that's too rich for me, unfortunately.

Maybe Lloyd would be available later.

Dylan Laube, New Hampshire... anyone?

As a senior in 2022 he played in 12 games and ran for an outstanding 1205 yards on 245 carries for average of 4.9 ypc, with 15 TDs, with 3 fumbles. In the passing game he had 49 receptions for an outstanding 474 yards.

As a fifth year senior in 2023 he played in 10 games and ran for 745 yards on 161 carries for average of 4.6 ypc, with 9 TDs, with 2 fumbles. In the passing game he had 68 receptions for 708 yards.

He'll be 25 years old in December :evil:
