In hindsight? Probably yes. But not for this offense.
Taylor wouldn't be what he is in this offense like he has been for Indy. He requires you to feed him the ball and Reid wouldn't do that. Swift would have been a better option than CEH but even he has injury issues. |

I'll get flamed for it.
No. He was coming into the draft wiht some ball security issues and had 1k carries worth of wear and tear on his body. He went where elite RB's go. The 2nd round. I'd still argue that I'd not take one there, but I woudln't always be opposed. |

Also it bugs me when people say "first round" - like 33 would have been ok, but 32 is too soon. With a RB that you might not want to give a second contract anyway, that 5th year option could be really valuable. I feel like a lot of people itt are a) acknowledging Hunt is hard to replace, but b) saying that the difference between Hunt and CEH isn't that big. I completely disagree with the latter. Like I said, I think maybe the pendulum has swung too far towards the "RBs are interchangeable" stance. We need another Hunt. It's worth paying or drafting fairly high to try to get one imo. |

I think you're overrating what Hunt did here. He was a good player, for sure. He was also found in the 3rd round cheaply.

Hunt was a difference maker. Teams stacked the box against him, knowing he could break a long run at any time (see his rookie year when he lead the league in rushing). He could also ran great routes, didn't drop the ball, blocked reasonably well, and never fumbled.
Stacking the box vs. Hunt, as compared to not stacking the box vs. Williams might not show up in the running game stat sheet. But it shows up in the passing game stats (see the first half of 2018 when Mahomes went wild). Yes we got Hunt in the 3rd round. We also got Travis Kelce and Justin Houston in the 3rd round. That doesn't mean 3rd round difference makers grow on trees. You have to keep trying to find those guys and not settle for average. That might be the biggest knock against CEH in the first round - if he doesn't work out we're still married to him for ~3 years. You can let a 3rd-rounder go much easily. |

Let's say Tom Brady is a kid ****er and does shit that makes it harder for his RBs to explode and be unstoppable monsters. Ron Jones gets here and becomes our new Hunt like you've been demanding. You think Andy's going to say, "Damn, Jones is great, but it's too bad we have to feed Clyde the ball." Jerick ****ing McKinnon was our primary ball carrier down the stretch last year even when Clyde was healthy. Because he was better. We're not just going to get rid of Clyde when we have nothing else but some 1-year rentals. That makes no sense. But everybody was actually better than him? Yeah. His ass would be gone. |

This kid's highlights are pretty impressive, I think we might have a star on our hands.

How long has it been since we have had this kind of speed at RB?
