I just don't know how we can see a team like Philly get there on the back of Saquon, or the Lions dominate in the regular season on their running game. Or see Buffalo push us to the brink despite being largely outplayed almost completely on the back of their 2nd round RB in Cook and STILL say "Eh, we'll just grab someone in the 4th or 5th and be fine..."

The RB and LT are easily and obviously the biggest issues on our offense and LT isn't one we're going to be able to address in the 30s.

But man, we can very probably get the best RB in this draft at 32 if we wanted. It may not be necessary but if we want to take one at 64 instead, that's EASILY defensible.

"We can get one on the 3rd day" netted us Pacheco. And he's been...okay. But he's just not giving us much. And with the way the league is shifting towards high efficiency, low explosion offenses, having a RB who can offer efficiency AND explosion would be hugely valuable for us.

If we had Cook and they had Hunt, Sunday would've been an absolute massacre.

We really should be looking to put some assets into the RB room at this point. And yes, depending on the draft board when we get up there in the 1st, that could very easily mean using a 1st on a RB. It's not my preferred course, but it has to be one on the table.

In such a deep draft, some quality guys WILL get pushed back, but that doesn't mean I disagree with the sentiment. However, there also is the Eagles' blueprint of signing a premier back in FA, although I have zero idea of what options will be out there. Somehow, though, the Eagles always seem to make the right move.
