If we had a 5th or 6th, that would be the sweet spot for a RB.

I don’t think they want to take one in rounds 1-4, and the 7th is just too late for a RB2.

I guess they could maybe package those 7ths to move up, but who knows if anybody would want that.

I'm with you 100% until the bold.

One, IMO the 7th isn't too late for any RB. That's the one position you can semi-regularly find studs very late and UDFA.

Two, it looks like Darrel is coming back, so I don't know where this need is for a RB2.

Just because you can find a good late round RB every year doesn’t mean you will.

It’s not like there’s 20. There’s usually a guy or two in any draft at the most. There isn’t an abundance of starting caliber backs available in the 7th or anything.

I mean, I'd love to know what that tweet meant if it didn't mean he was coming back.

Let me rephrase that, it’s not at all a sure thing, and it’s still kind of hard to find.

Yea, you might get lucky and be the team that finds this years Phillip Lindsay, but there aren’t a ton of those every year. Maybe 1 or 2, and there’s a reason they’re still available. Nobody sees it coming.

Yeah but what else can you do with your 7ths besides using them on flyers? RB is very expandable. There's a decent chance they could find someone who can do work. CEH is okay, but they can find someone to compliment him you'd think.

I see no reason to bring back Williams.

Maybe he was just reminiscing. My guess is, if they're bringing in Jones for a visit, then they aren't bring back Williams.

Or he could come back after the draft and Gore goes back to the PS.

I’m really all about Josh Gordon being a factor this year.

It's precisely because RB is expendable that you don't use many picks on them.

A 6th or 7th rounder could be the next Fenton, a position which is much much more expensive than a RB.

Karlaftis reminds me of Jadaveon Clowney. He's probably never going to explode for 15 sacks a season but he's also a guy that could constantly get 8-10 a year while providing a presence against the run. A true 3-down DE.

Part of me thinks were after high motor 3 down guys. Like Tamba Hali vs Dee Ford.

Exactly. Darrell isn't a star but he's a solid backup RB.

DB was the other position I would draft there possibly. But, I also have them drafting some guys in the 3/4 rounds, hopefully at least 2 and maybe signing Gilmore too.

I know he's fallen off but he has been injured the past 2 years. Depending on the deal of course, he'd be a fine add. Maybe giving us the same production Charles Woodson gave Green Bay back in the day. He's smart, don't see why he couldn't move to safety.
