You think we should give up on Perine? Signing Murray and draft a RB will only push Perine to #4 RB.

Perine is a solid number 2, Kelley is the odd man out here IMO and CT is coming off an ACL, U never know how that will play out. We need RB's to compete, sign Demarco to a 1 year prove it deal. He's 30 so he won't get much $. I'd rather have Guice, Perine and CT but it's hard to justify taking a RB at 13.

If that is what you want, it isn't hard to justify that

Lets wait and see what we do in FA , But if we don't address G,WR,LB then I would say draft one of those before a RB.

You "can't" take a G at # 5 either and I think that's worked out more than fine for us. Gonna be a 10 year starter.

I don't buy that there is a "can't" draft somewhere position, if filling that position will impact the team in a positive way. Get us a stud RB wherever you can find him.

What about CJ Anderson when the Broncos cut him

Just looking at rumors and names.

He's better than what we have right now.

AlfMo- 6th round
Thompson - 4th round

Matt Jones - 3rd

Not that AlfMo was a dominant RB, but he was a good one, better than Matt Jones and picked 3 rounds later. Thompson too was a later pick and is an important piece to the offense. Again, better value than Jones.

So, Matt Jones wasn't a first or second round pick and I think that's your point, and I tend to agree that this year's 2nd pick should probably be RB, but I'm just pointing out that if it's not as elite RB I wouldn't ever take them in the first. I'd even give pause to drafting Barkley at 13 depending on ago eke is on the board and who's willing to trade.

Marshawn Lynch is the only elite RB that has won a Superbowl in 15 years and he had some help at QB. It's a passing league, RBs don't last long and just can't impact a team as much as they used to. It's to me a luxury pick to get that elite RB that you make after you're solid across the board.

But yeah, I'd like to get a better back in the 2nd this year.

Could not agree more. You can find RB's in free agency or later on in the draft. I would never ever draft one in the 1st or 2nd round. There are so many truly great RB's that have not sniffed a SB. The only way I'd draft one high is if he stays on the field on 3rd down, like Portis did. He's the last complete back we've had around here.

And being good enough to bump Thompson out of the 3rd down role is hard to do.
