We need a RB to keep opposing defenses honest…maybe 15, on the outside 20 carries/game. I agree having a good one is better than having a mediocre one. I also agree that it’s not all the OL’s fault regarding Mixon’s YPC mediocrity. I do like him in the passing game. But, now we’re faced with the same dilemma……how many outlets can be fed in this offense. There are too many other much, much better options there.
Get a guy in the draft. Save the Mixon money for more important things. Zeke? I don’t see him fitting into any of this at all. If you only want him as a blocker, for a RB he’s good at it. But, again there are better options that will be cheaper.
Right, so we need a RB that has proven he can block on the NFL level more than we need one for anything else. Zeke, for all he has lost in the run game, is still one of the better blockers out there. I'm not sure I want to trust Burrow's protection to a rookie.
