I'm so tired of seeing these kinds of posts. Lots of pleasing lots of people. To get that way because not everyone loved a sixth round RB is a strange take. I'm glad you've liked them all. I've liked most of the players picked, too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 3 of those. Needed a 3rd down back, and Keaton Mitchell is right there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Not my favorite draft. Was hoping to get Howell another weapon or two. We’ll see how these guys play. Excited for the season. Enjoyed the company in this thread. Y’all have a good weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I assume the talk EB wanted a back that was a stud in pass protection was right... He’s a physical blitz protector, so teams might envision a role for him as a second-half battering ram and third-down quarterback protector. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive noticed. This one just doesnt make sense to me. Many other players (including rb) that i think fit better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's about 7 left that I like better. Yeah, but are Patterson and those other 7 RBs LEADERS? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I assume we’ve drafted a ‘nasty’ back as EB would say. Stepping up the physicality.

Ball Security Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 As a physical guy, he can help himself out if he can play on ST coverage. How many backs do they plan to carry? 4? 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they have a plan for something other than a blocker on 3rd down, this is a wiff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he’s a stud and I can rock his jersey One of the only RBs I didn't dive into because of his power rush profile -- I thought they were going for a speed-shiftier back. Just watched his highiights. I'll get to his games. Just rewatched his highlights -- bull dozer on some runs as far as breaking tackles. I get the impression for RB they were deferring to Bieineimy on, so I gather this was his guy. Imagine adding Willis or Lupeke at FB to the power rush?

They'll use him on third down as a pass protector and a tough yardage back to keep some wear and tear off of Robinson. If he makes the team. Which... he probably will. But I wouldn't say is a given. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think people have gotten hung up on EB thinking hes going to run a replica of andy rieds O. Im sure it will be similar, but with having a young QB and EB having a running background, I assume we are going to be a more running focused team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
