Sad, unfair....but true that big contracts for RB'S are a risky proposition, because their effectiveness can go downhill so quickly....willing to pay out some to home grown guys....chemistry, loyalty, lockerroom moral...but not a big fan of signing FA RBs....unless it's the final piece.Adopted Bolt: Kimani Vidal RB

Pay Ekeler if we can, or replace him with JJ/draft. No to Drake, J MO

Just replace RBs through draft at rookie contract. If they sign elsewhere get comp pick in return. No need to waste an additional $4-$5 million yearly unless we get another LT type talent.My 2021 Adopt-A-Bolt List

That's 5 to 6 mil a year to put towards oline help, or to resigning our own players. Never had a 1000 yds or 10 TDs...I wouldn't call that proven....just promising....so are some of the RBS coming out in the draft. Drake wouldn't be a bad pickup, per say....but just not the way I would go...there is a better way IMO...but I'll say no more.Adopted Bolt: Kimani Vidal RB

Big AJ Dillon fan....he probably ends up in my final mock...he was in one of my early versions.
Ton of RBS to like, from JK Dobbins and Swift early, to mid rounders like Moss, Edwards-Helaire, Perine...to late round gems like Dillon, Benny Lemay, and James Robinson....and all the ones in between...
Again, another reason to avoid spending on FA RBs....ton of options this draft.Adopted Bolt: Kimani Vidal RB

He beat out David Johnson to be AZs #1 RB. Is DJ a proven RB?
He is a better rusher than Ekeler who some here want to give 10.mil (crazy talk).
I'd take Drake in a heartbeat and yes over AJ Dillon who would be cheaper but not the HR threat Drake is. We still have JJ cheap and Ekeler will be pretty cheap with his tender.
I'm not against drafting a RB either. Just saying I'd love to have Drake whomis better and will be cheaper than Gordon. and since there is talk of Gordon possibly being brought back I'm just saying I'd rather have Drake. Otherwise totally on board with drafting a running back.Last edited by Boltjolt; 02-19-2020, 11:06 AM.
