Not even close. He compares more to Mixon.

Dude we are so close to getting Washington I'm freaking out

[Joelist]

Ordinarily I would not be advocating strongly for drafting for need but watching the offense struggle because of the lack of talent at RB last season was painful. Watching teams sit in 2 high secure in the knowledge we could not punish them for it was painful. And knowing that this franchise FINALLY has a real chance to win it all (which after all is the entire point of having a franchise) but trips over itself because of holes it could easily fill is frustrating.

So yes, draft for need. Trade up. Do whatever is needed to win now.

Plan seems to be that he's the starter.

Achane gone.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

10 picks left.

D. Jones, Washington, Wypler, Kuntz, Abanikanda, Scott, Ika, Zavala, Adebewore.

I wouldn't hate Bigsby or Johnson.

If you wanna go CB again, Moss & Ringo.

We are at the point where I do not care about Washington's knees or Jones skipping a workout.

Moss gone though I doybtcwe double dip.

Achane gone. Bengals siting on their hands and watching the board dry up.

[BrownAssClown]

another RB gone

It has definitely been the weirdest offseason story for us. I can't even fathom the pay cut idea for him now. He has zero reason to do it.

RB choices getting thin.

It's not about Carman "being good". It's about him competing and winning a job. No one is saying hand the job to Carman. 

If he comes in, plays really well, and wins the RT job...then what?

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Achane to Miami. Scatback only. I would have been OK with him.

Carman has you all fooled lmao Year 3 as a back up coming uo!

The biggest knock on Torrence is that he can only play RG. You just can't move everyone to a different position. I do agree that Volston can be upgraded.

My guy Achane is gone now. Changes focus to Chase Brown

I hope not - that is the equivalent of saying they have no interest in hoisting the Lombardi.

Yea doesnt make it any less of a bad comparison Paecho is all contact balance and that isnt Abanikanda who is more speed size but lacking vision like Mixon.

[samhain]

Would we take another db if Ringo fell? Not saying we should. Just wonder if we would.

This might be an acceptable spot for Duncan, too.

Which is wild to me.

I am fine waiting another Round or not taking one. 

Abanikanda, Bigsby, Johnson, Brown. 

Or work a deal for Swift with Detroit. Or signing Elliot. 

I don't wanna getvlocked into a spot.
