Rebuild the D and get a legit RB threat.
CEH is a joke
McKinnon is a band-aid
Gore is unreliable
D. Williams is not the answer
We need a K. Hunt
J. Taylor
Dalvin Cook level RB

Agree with all of this. My thinking is we miss having a RB that can do real damage if teams are bailing everyone back in coverage. Someone who can really work in space both running and receiving. We saw a glimpse of that with McKinnon but he’s not the answer going forward. Our other backs don’t do enough damage to keep teams honest.
It’s not necessarily the WR2 role, but we need someone as a slot receiver who can work shallow routes and help beat cover 2. Hill did pretty well with that, but we need him to pressure teams deep. Without that threat we won’t need to worry about the cover 2 as much. Maybe we can find a shifty little guy in later rounds that has that quickness even if they are lacking too end speed.
