Meh, I don't care a lot about him leaving. It may sting a tad if he blows up and becomes super productive while our run game plods along with Hill and an awful run blocking line, but it's what it is.
If this team is serious about bringing change at the RB position, then it's probably wise to grab a couple in this draft. it's a good crop and they will likely be cheaper than what Burkead will get paid for having a few good games in free agency.
Do I think Rex is better that Jeremy Hill? Possibly. Maybe not from a raw skill standpoint, but production-wise, perhaps. Is rex better than Fournette, Cook, Mixon, McCaffrey, Foreman, and the other top-end backs in this draft? I somehow doubt it. I'd rather start fresh with one of those young players than dump money into Rex.
It's a more a matter of moving on from Jeremy Hill than committing to Rex IMO. I'm not sure this staff bumps Hill out of the top spot for Rex right out of the gate. A super talented early pick might make the decision to cut bait a bit easier, though.
